Bra: how to find the right size?

 

It is essential to know that the size of a bra is formed by two different values, a number that corresponds to the circumference of the underside of the breast and identifies the base size and a letter that corresponds to the volume of the breast that is breast circumference and identifies the cup.
To find the correct size of the bra you must give much importance to the measures, just a little to increase or decrease by one cm and wrong size.
We proceed with the measurements using a seamstress meter.
Circumference below breast: Place the meter horizontally around the chest, exactly below the breast, keep an upright posture with shoulders and back well straight, do not lift the forearms and breathe normally, All this so as not to widen the chest and increase by a few centimeters. Then adhere the meter well to the chest keeping it perfectly parallel to the floor. Stand in profile in the mirror to verify the right positioning.
Write the cm obtained and identify your own size in the table. Ex. If the measurement of underside is 79 cm, my corresponding EU size will be 80 as it is in the range 78-82. Take that line as a reference to find the letter corresponding to the volume of my breast. The measurement of the breast circumference is then carried out.
Breast circumference: Place the meter horizontally around the chest but this time at the point of maximum protrusion of the breast, without tightening too much, always maintaining the same posture as the previous measurement and the meter parallel to the floor. For very soft breasts, it is recommended to wear a non-stuffed and not too tight bra; the breasts should not be crushed.
Write the cm obtained and identify your own size in the table following the line identified with the measurement of the underside of the breast. Ex. If the breast circumference is 99 cm, my letter will be D.
My size will be 80D.

 

INFORMATION

 

For the circumference under the breast we have taken as reference the European size. We believe that it is the simplest as it corresponds exactly to the centimeters of the size of the sub-breast rounded to the multiple of 5 nearest (e.g. if my measure is 79, my size is 80 because it is the multiple of 5 nearest to my measure). Moreover, since 2007 it has been adopted by the European Community as a standard measure. European Standard EN 13402.
However, the size numbers for each country are also shown in the table.

As far as the depth of the breast is concerned, the letter B is considered standard, that is, the breast and the under breast are proportionate. From the letter C up increases the volume of the breast since the measurement of the chest under the breast is proportionally narrower while with regard to cup A is exactly the opposite, that is, the volume of the breast decreases as the measurement of the chest under the breast is proportionately larger.
