FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHILE BUYING BOTH BRAS AN PANTIESPanties:

bras:-

 ---The band or under-bust measurement

 ---The around-bust measurement (around the fullest part of the bust)

For example, if the under-bust measurement is 30, giving a bra size of 32 – and the around-bust measurement is 32 – then this will convert to an A cup size: in other words, a bra size of 32A.

 Were the around-bust measurement to be 34, the bra size would become 32C. The under-bust or band measurement is around the back and under the arms and meeting at the front, directly below the bust.

The around-bust or cup measurement is the same, but higher up on the back and around the fullest part of the bust.

It is worth the effort to ensure that the band is level all round in a line directly beneath where the bust starts to protrude from the body. If the band size is too large, the bra will ride up at the back, causing the bra to fall forwards at the front. This causes women to mistakenly lift the bra and bust by shortening the shoulder straps. The effect is to cause the woman's posture to change by dropping the shoulders in line with the bra – which is unsightly and uncomfortable, as well as unhealthy.

The band size is usually approximately two inches greater than the under-band measurement, for an average bra with average stretch in the band.

Ideally, the bra should be clasped on the middle set of hooks. This allows for stretch of the bra as well as ones growth. To check it is right, it should be possible to run your forefinger underneath the band all the way around, suggesting a close supporting fit that is not too tight or too loose, confirming that the band size is correct.

The cup needs to cover the breast form, enclosing all the bust.

Many women wear the wrong size bra

Bra fitters frequently find that many women don’t actually know how a bra should fit them – and this is something that stems from their teenage years. Teenage girls ascertain their size, and tend to increase it by a cup size as they get older. The most common fitting error is to select too large a band size and too small a cup size, for example, a 34B rather than a 32C.

There is no such thing as "your bra size" as it will change from brand to brand.

How to recognize a bad fit

In the yellow bra, you’ll see under-wire digging into the breast tissue at the sides.

This is because the cup size is too small. The underwire should sit at the side of the breast. Underwire digging into breast tissue is uncomfortable and doesn’t provide a great look and fit either.

In the white bra, the cup appears to fit but there is a gap at the bottom between the underwire and the breast.

This indicates that the cup is too small. However, with an increased cup size, there might then be too much volume in the cup. This is because the underwire is the wrong shape for the wearer. It is a narrow underwire shape (low at the front, high at the sides) and doesn’t match the breast form correctly.

These two examples show how important it is to recognise your breast-form shape rather than just your volume.
