Every woman needs a good bra, but plus-size women need one that provides extra comfort and support. It is important to measure yourself correctly for a bra that fits you well. This will save you discomfort and help you find the best fit. This guide walks you through how to accurately measure your body and helps you shop with confidence for plus-size bras from Debra.
Comprehending Bra Sizing
Before you start measuring, it is important to understand the bra sizing system. The number of the band and the letter that represents the cup size make up a bra size. A size 40D would have a 40 band size and a D cup size. Both measurements must be correct for a snug and comfortable fit.
All the Tools You’ll Need
To measure accurately, you need:
- Soft measuring tape
- Mirror
- Measurements can be recorded with a pen on paper.
- Wear a well-fitted, non-padded bra if you can.
You Can Measure Yourself Using This Step-By-Step Guide
- Stand in front of a mirror: Face a mirror to ensure that the measuring tape you are using is straight and not twisted.
- Wrap a measuring tape around the ribcage: Place it directly underneath your bust, under the band of a bra. The tape should be snug but not tight.
- Measurement: See the number printed on the tape. If it is an odd number, then round it up to even, as bra-size numbers are typically even. This is what your band size is.
How To Measure Your Bust Size?
- Measure the bust with the tap: Next, wrap the tape around the largest part of the bust. It should be level, not too tight or loose.
- Stand normally: Avoid hunching your shoulders or pushing your chest forward.
- Take a measurement: Note down the number. This is how big your chest is.
Calculate The Cup Size
- Subtract bust from band size: You can determine cup size by the difference between the two numbers.
- Find your cup size by using the difference: One inch is equal to one cup. For example, one inch is an “A cup,” two inches is a “B cup,” three inches is a “C cup,” and so on.
Final Bra Size Estimation
Your final bra size is determined by combining your band size with your cup size. You can use the example measurements below:
- Band Size: 42
- Bust Size: 46
- Difference: 4 inches equals D cup
Your bra size will be 42D.
Common Measurement Tips And Troubleshooting
- Double-check measurements: If you want to be sure that your measurements are accurate, double-check them.
- Check how your bras fit: You may need to adjust the band if you notice that they ride up on the back. If you find that your bras ride up at the back, it could be because of a too-large band.
- Be aware of breast shape: Some women have fuller breasts in the upper or lower part, and this can affect fit. It is important to try different styles, shapes, and sizes in order to find your perfect fit.
