| FIGURE OUT YOUR BRA SIZE |
|
We
at strapsandstrings.com believe that the key to a beautiful bra underpinning
is the correct size. The best way to assess it is to try on different
styles and find the one that flatters your shape the best. We do realize
that it is not an easy task to determine your bra size with a measuring
tape. Plus the brands do show variations from each other in the sizes
department. We understand what goes through your mind in this dilemma
and so present to you a rough guide to helpyou know your right bra size.
Please note that this is just a helpful 'how to' guide only and the results
may vary with different shapes and styles.
Our experienced team of lingerie consultants will be glad to guide and
help you in selecting the right bra. So, call them at

style or any other queries answered.
Bra size is divided between measuring up your rib cage and that of your
breasts from their fullest. |

| Measuring
Your Under-bust Size |
|
• Under-bust size measurement is the rib cage measurement and not the size of the cup.
• It is always referred to in numbers like 32, 34, 36 and so on.
• Place
a soft measuring tape around your rib cage directly under the bust.
• Make sure the tape is level front and back (you can use a mirror
to check). Also, it should be held tight with
no space between the two edges (remember, that a bra stretches when
worn).
• You can check your size using the table below. For example, underband
measurement on the tape is 34"=
bra band size 38. If you fall in-between an inch, then you should
opt for the next bigger size. |

| Measuring Your Cup Size |
|
• For
measuring your over-bust or cup size, take the tape around the bust
at the fullest point.
• Hold the tape tight at the back but it should not be too tight
in the front. This will help you establish your correct
cup size i.e. A, B, C, D or DD. Check yours from the table below.
• Also, cup sizes vary with the band sizes. So, the cup size
of a 32B will not be the same as that of a
34B.

| There
is another very simple way of arriving at your correct bra size. If your
new band size has changed then your cup size would have too. So, if you
have gone down 2 band sizes you will go up two cup sizes. For instance,
if you were previously 38B and you are now wearing 34 your cup size will
now be D cup - highlighted below. Find out what's yours! |
