TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT SIZE BRA

Do you ever feel like your shirt or dress just doesn’t look quite right – like things could be lifted and adjusted? While you may be inclined to think you need a new size, it may be that you’re wearing the wrong bra size (yes, you read that correctly!). The wrong bra can ruin your best outfit – and the right bra can make everything flawless. If you find your bras bunching, wrinkling, riding up or straps slipping, those are tell-tale signs that it’s time to be re-sized. Check out these tips for getting the right size and keeping your assets looking their best.

• se a measuring tape to measure the band size. (directly under your bust) Keep the measuring tape snug – if the number is even, add 4 inches (ex. If you measure 32, your band size is 36). If the number is odd, add 5 inches.
• Loosely wrap the measuring tape (at the nipple level) around your bust to measure. Round to the nearest whole number.
• Figure out your cup size by subtracting your band size from your bust measurement – and refer to a sizing chart .

Once you are correctly sized be sure you love the bra. Make sure it’s not too tight or two loose, adjust straps and try the bra with a tight shirt. How does it look? (when you stand sideways in a mirror are your breasts between your elbows and shoulders or do you need something with more support?) How about you – got any tips to share for finding the perfect bra?
