You then find out your exact measurements, and what bra lines they suggest as working well with your size and shape. The solution is to go to a lingerie shop when they have breast fittings and have a specialist help you get fit. That isn't something you want to aim for. However, then it looks floppy and loose and makes it very obvious that you are 'smaller than you should be'. You might think getting a bigger bra is a good thing. You might think this makes you look 'full' but really it makes you look squished and oddly shaped. You never want to squish your breasts into a too-small cup. Your breast looks its very best in a cup and bra that is just the right size for it, that supports it to look full.

If you use a B cup, your breast may not fit into it, making it look floppy and small. If you use an A cup, your breast may be squashed and look flat. However, what if you are exactly 2 inches? You are a 'big A'. If you have a difference of 2.5 inches you are right in the center of B Cup size and that bra will probably fit you perfectly. Now that you know your difference, use the following chart to determine your cup size. In any case, our test person has a difference of 1 inch.

Note that because of the bra companies' inane system of 'adding 5 inches' it could actually be a negative number! Feel free to strangle bra makers for doing this. You now take the number from Step 4, say 37 inches, and subtract the 'altered number' in step 3, which in our test person is 36 inches. You want one that fits gently against your breasts to hold them in place. You also don't want a bra that flops around. You don't want a bra that squashes you in. You are going for a 'comfortable fit' again. You now measure your circumference of your breast at its fullest part, so usually across the tops of the nipples. It's not the ACTUAL circumference of your body. So if your bra is a 36B, the 36 is the above part. Note that this above number is the 'number' part of the bra size. So our 35 inches test person has to add 1 to your number. If you had an EVEN number in step 2, you are set and write that number here. It would be much better though if they simply made odd numbered sizes too, so they fit everybody! In any case, if you had an ODD number in step 2, add 1 to it. This means the bra won't fit perfectly! Sure, they adjust a little bit.

If you are NOT lucky (like say half of the world) you now must add ANOTHER inch so that you have an even number. This means if you were lucky enough to be even in step 2, you are all set. Note that because this number is odd you're going to be adding 1 to this shortly, to turn it into 36, but to keep this as simple as possible, for now just write down your actual inches + 4.Д«ecause bra makers are completely insane, they will NOT sell odd numbered bras. In any case, if we began with 31 inches, we would add 4 so now we would have 35 inches. I really vote they redo their numbering so they just use THE ACTUAL CIRCUMFERENCE. You want it to be comfortable, not tight and not loose. Don't pull tight, because remember that this is going to determine how your bra's 'band' fits. Your aim is the smallest number, because this means you have gone as 'straight across' as possible. I find that I can do this 10 times and get 10 different numbers. You measure UNDER your breasts, so the circumference of your 'chest without any breast'. Feel free to print this page out and follow along. Whoever developed this cup system must have been completely insane. It's important to note that this size will change over the years, so don't rely on the size you were when you were 18 or 20, if you're now 30 or older! Re-measure your size every few years and get bras that fit you NOW. You want a bra that fits as perfectly as possible to your specific form. A too large bra will look saggy and loose. A too-tight bra will malform you which is rarely attractive. That being said, if you DO want to wear a bra, you definitely want to wear one which fits as properly as possible.

Bras were undoubtedly created by men to make women 'nicer to look at' :) There are stories that the first cross-your-heart lift-and-separate bra was developed for movie actresses, and you see a scene of that in 'The Aviator' which is supposedly about Howard Hughes.
