How to Pick an A Cup Bra

Having small breasts is cause to rejoice. You will never have back pain because of your breasts, sleeveless clothing looks fabulous on you, there are no stretch marks, sagging will be kept to a minimum and you can always buy a padded bra. Both breast reduction or augmentation is painful and costly. Small breasted sisters celebrate and happily purchase the ideal A cup bra, because there's always 2 sides to every story.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Calculate your bra size to make sure you are an A cup. Measure your chest at the fullest point and underneath your breasts around your rib cage. Add 5 to the rib cage measurement. If it is the same as the breast measurement you wear an A cup.

2. Try on bras in a balcony and half cup style. These have construction that lifts without being a push-up and will give you a curvy shape.

3. Choose bras in smooth finishes without seaming. The seaming adds support you don't need and ruins the curvy shape of your bust line.

4. Look for bras with padding at the sides, not just underneath. Side padding creates fullness and realistic cleavage. Gel or water bras can also have a realistic feel.

5. Ensure that the bra fits snugly around your rib cage so you don't have any unsightly ridding up. Move around and make sure the bra does not come up in the back.

Tips & Warnings

• Put a shirt on over the bra in the dressing room to make sure it looks good with clothes.
• Try on bras in the size smaller and larger than your measurement because bra manufacturers are not consistent.
• Avoid bras with a square cut, these push your breasts out losing your womanly shape.
