Lingerie-bra-Cup size

 babydoll set
Measure yourself in inches around the fullest part of your breasts, usually over the nipples - the tape measure should be loose.

    * To work out the cup size, subtract the band measurement from the breast measurement = difference. Check the difference against the chart below:

  sexy clothing,
      Example 1:
          o If the band measurement was 26 inches, then add 5 to find the bra size. This adds up to 31, so round this up to the next even number = 32
          o The measurement around the fullest part of the breast was 35 inches, then 35 minus 32 = 3 giving a cup size of D (see the table above)
          o Select from bras which are size 32D

 lace underwear,
      Example 2:
          o If the band measurement was 34.5 inches, then add 3 to find the bra size. This adds up to 37.5, so round this up to the next even number = 38
          o The measurement around the fullest part of the breast was 39 inches, then 39 minus 38 = 1 giving a cup size of B (see the table above)
          o Select from bras which are size 38B

lingerie,
      This is a guideline only; as with tops, dresses, suits, etc. not all manufacturers produce the same shapes and sizes. You will have to try some different bras on and see which feel most comfortable and give you enough support.

The average bust size in the UK is now 36C - so the back size is 36 and the cup size is C.

If in doubt, have yourself measured properly at a specialist lingerie shop. In the UK, Marks and Spencer offer a bra-fitting service that certainly helped me to update my undies drawer! And I strongly suggest that you re-measure yourself regularly - your body changes with the seasons, with your moods, with your monthly cycle, with your diet, with exercise (or lack of it). Don't take for granted that your bosom will always remain the same - because YOU certainly don't.

Bra fitting tips

    * The underband of your bra should fit comfortably in the middle of your back and not ride up or down
    * The underwire should never dig into your breast tissue and should fit snugly under the arm
    * The underwire should lay flat against the breastbone
    * The bust should not spill over the top of the cup. If it does you are wearing too small a cup size; try the next cup size up
    * If the cups are baggy, try going down a cup size
    * If the bra straps are digging into your shoulder and feel uncomfortable it means the straps are taking the weight of your bust whereas the underband should be doing this job - go down a band size
    * If the underband is riding up at the back, you need a smaller band size
    * Your bra underband should feel firm and comfortable but with enough space to enable you to insert two fingers under at the back and one finger space at the front
