A Step-by-Step Guide to Determining Your Bust Size
Knowing your bust size is key in order to find the best fitting clothing and bras. However, the process can seem daunting if you’ve never measured yourself before. Luckily, here is a simple step by step guide that can help you determine your bust size accurately.
Step one: To begin with, wearing a non-padded bra, get a measuring tape and loop it around your back so that it is at the same height all the way around. It is also important to make sure that the tape is tight and not lopsided, while also making sure that the tape is straight on your back.
Step two: The second step is to measure the fullest part of the chest which is usually around the nipple area. After you have taken the measurement make sure to write it down for later reference.
Step three: For the third step, you now need to measure your band size around the ribcage. To calculate the band size you need to subtract the measurement taken from the second step from the ribcage measurement. If there is a difference of an even number the add four inches to the ribcage measurement and the number you get will be your band size. If there is an odd number then add five inches and the number you get will be your band size.
Step four: The last step is to calculate the cup size and that is found by subtracting the ribcage measurement from the second measurement that you took. An increase of an inch has a corresponding letter size of AA, for example, a two inch difference means the cup size is B and a three inch difference is C and so on.
Therefore, with a few simple steps you now have a better understanding of how to accurately determine your bust size. Having the correct bust size makes finding clothes much easier and will help in looking and feeling more comfortable. It is also important to remember that sometimes clothing sizes may differ between brands so it is worth always taking the time to measure yourself.
Consequently, you can now make a more informed choice when shopping online or even in stores as you have a better understanding of your body shape and size. Additionally, you will no longer have to worry about whether the clothes fit correctly or not.
As knowing your bust size will ensure the clothes fit perfectly and won’t have to be returned as often. Furthermore, having the correct measurement means you won’t have to worry about the potential hassle of having to spend time returning items and going through the process all over again.
Moreover, with the correct measurement you can save time and money as you can buy clothes that will fit properly the first time. Also, if you ever go for a professional bra fitting, having your measurements in advance is a time saver.
Finally, when shopping for clothes you can now be confident that the size will fit correctly and allow you to feel your best in whatever you choose to wear. How great would it be to feel stylish, confident and comfortable in your clothes without having to worry if they fit? Now you can.
