Determine the size of the bra

There are many methods of incorrect measurement of the size of a bra, the most common of them is the definition "by eye". Without measurement and fitting it is impossible to do.
It is worth saying that the data of the sizes of the bra belt is measured by the number that stands in front of the letter, and the letter means the cup sizes.

For the European scale of sizes of underwear:

65,70,75 - 85 and further makes the value of the girth under the breast (the difference of 5 cm is the difference of one volume)
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K and on.

The cup capacity of the bra becomes more proportional to the size of the belt. Namely, in a bra cup capacity is 80D more than in a bra 75D, even despite the same letter D for the value of the cup size. It is worth knowing that during the fitting of the 80D bra there will be a slight slack in the bottom, but the underwear cup will hold the chest, you need to make a smaller size to 75, but at the same time the size of the cup of another larger size is 75E.

Girth measurements under the breast

It is necessary to slightly raise both breasts with your hands and ask for help to gird a centimeter just under the chest, and centimeter is recommended to be placed parallel to the floor, without distortion. The girth under the chest should be measured very tightly, because you need to achieve the lowest value. Because not straps, namely the belt of the bra is the main part of supporting the breast and if you wear a bra with a girdle girth more than you need, then the support is significantly lost. Then the received data is recorded. If the obtained value is between 60-65-70-75-80 and further, it is worth rounding it to the nearest standard value. For example, if 72 cm, then round to 70, and if 73, then to 70, and to 75. If you select 75 and after the bra was approximate, for example, 75D feels weak in the belt, then you should take a bra with the size of 70E. It should be remembered that while reducing the size of the belt, you need to take a bigger cup size, because 75D = 70E (this was mentioned earlier). If you first selected the value of 70E and found out that the bra is squeezing in the belt, then it is worth trying on 75D (but only when 70E cups fit the breast). You can designate the girth under the chest as an "X".

Measurement of chest circumference

It is necessary to wear a bra, as comfortable as possible and which holds the breast well enough. Ask the assistant to attach a centimeter around the chest, the maximum circumference and not very tight, and the centimeter is advised to keep parallel to the floor, without distortion. For example, the result is 92 cm. Then you need to subtract 10 cm from the data and label it as "Y". It turns out 102 .5-10 = 92 .5sm = Y

Calculations

To determine the size of a bra, it is recommended to subtract "X" from "Y" and a value that can be divided by 2. 5, namely (YX) / 2 .5

In our example (92 .5-75) / 2 .5 = 7. Next is the seventh letter of the Latin alphabet. A, B, C, D, E, F, G

It turns out that the fitting of a bra needs to start with 75G (according to the scale of Europe, since it is also used in the CIS countries).

The method of determining the size of the bra, which was described above, provides only a starting point. You absolutely do not need to rely on it for 100%, because this formula does not keep in mind the bra model, the shape of the particular breast, its completeness and other parameters. Even if this formula could help to pinpoint the exact size of a particular model of a particular manufacturer's bra, one can be disappointed if it came to the realization that the formula turned out to be useless in determining the size of bras of other models even of the same brand. Therefore, it is recommended to listen to the advice of consultants in stores, especially when it comes to determining the size of a bra.

What you need to know when determining the size

The sides of the bra support and fix the breast at the bottom, the higher this side, the stronger the breast will be supported.

The side parts of the bra, the back of the bra should be quite wide. Rods give support, slim silhouette. The outer frame provides support.
