Finding the Perfect Fit
Finding the perfect bra is like finding a best friend – supportive, comfortable, and always there for you. However, many women struggle with finding the right fit, often wearing the wrong size without realizing it. At Her Thread, we believe that every woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable, starting with the right bra size. So, let’s dive into the art of measuring your bra size accurately.
Why Does Bra Size Matter?
Wearing the wrong bra size can lead to discomfort, back pain, and even affect your posture. A well-fitted bra not only provides support but also enhances your silhouette and boosts your confidence, making it a wardrobe essential.
Correctly Measuring Your Bra Size
- Get a Measuring Tape: Use a soft, flexible measuring tape for accurate measurements.
- Measure Your Band Size:
- Wear a non-padded bra for this measurement.
- Stand straight and exhale to get the most accurate measurement.
- Wrap the tape around your ribcage, just under your bust.
- Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight. It should feel comfortable and secure.
- Note down the measurement in inches.
- Determine Your Bust Size:
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust, usually across the nipple.
- Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground and not too tight.
- Again, note down the measurement in inches.
- Calculate Your Cup Size:
- Subtract your band size from your bust measurement.
- Use the difference to find your cup size based on a standard cup size chart.
- Try on Bras:
- Once you have your measurements, try on bras in different styles and sizes to find the best fit.
- Remember that sizing can vary between brands and styles, so don’t be afraid to try different sizes.
Signs of a Well-Fitted Bra
- The band is snug but not tight, and it should sit parallel to the ground.
- The center front of the bra lies flat against your sternum.
- The cups fully contain your breasts, with no spillage or wrinkling.
- The straps are secure but not digging into your shoulders.
When to Measure Your Bra Size
It’s recommended to measure your bra size at least once a year or whenever you notice changes in your body shape, such as weight loss or gain, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
