Finding the right size bra is often a trouble for many women; estimates are that about 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. This is not healthy for your breasts - especially if breasts are in too tight a bra.
What to know about getting a bra fitting:
1. The band size (or chest size) is the number
part of your bra size. The cup size is the letter part. EX: if
you are in a 36 B then 36 is the band and B is the cup.
2. You are not going to get as good of a measurement
as someone else would by measuring yourself. Let someone else
measure you.
3. A measurement CAN be done over the bra you
are wearing AND over your T-shirt If you plan on getting fitted
don't wear a thick shirt like a sweatshirt or sweater.
4. If you have large and/or sagging breasts then
when the person is taking your band measurement, you should pull
up on your bra's shoulder straps so that she can get the measuring
tape under your breast for an accurate measurement.
EX: I had 2 different sale ladies "fit" me a yr. ago.
One did not have me pull up on my straps and told me I was a 44DD.
The size seemed to work but I was messing w my bra all day long
and the wire kept poking me. I went back and 2nd lady "fitted"
me and had me pull up on my straps and came out w a 40 DDD. Which
turned out to be my "true" size. The wire stopped hurting
me and I stopped messing w my bra while I wore it.
5. If you wear a bra with padding or stuff your
bra then you are not going to get an accurate measurement. If
you plan on getting fitted wear a bra without padding.
6. Not all fittings will tell you the "right"
size, but will give you a good place to start at usually.
7. Try on different styles of bras. Every style
fits and fills different and can "shape" your breast
differently.
8. Don't rush trying on bras. Really pay attention
to how they fit and feel. Go bra shopping when you know you have
the TIME for it. Many women have had to take up to an hour, or
more, trying on several different sizes and styles to find the
bra that gave them the fit and feel they wanted.
9. If your bra fits correctly, it should NOT
be painful or uncomfortable to wear.
