How to find the perfect bra

Finding a bra that doesn't move, bunch, or irritate your body is hard to do. How do we know what color to choose, what size, what style? Search no more, I have the answers.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a tape measure
• a day to shop
• some patience

1. take a flexible tape measure and measure around your rib cage, right below your breasts. this should give you the 30 number that you will find on the bra. If the number is even add 4 to it, if it is odd at 5.

2. Next you should measure around the fullest part of your breasts to get the cup size. Round up to the nearest whole number.

3. Now take the band measurement, (the first measurement) and subtract the cup measurement, (the second measurement). On the average, each inch difference is a cup size.

4. Example:
   Step 1: 34" under measurement +4" = 38" band
   Step 2: 40" over measurement
   Step 3: 40" - 38" = 2" (B Cup)
   Your size would be 38B
   
   Example:
   Step 1: 33" under measurement +5=38" band
   Step 2: 42 over measurement
   Step 3: 42" - 38" = 4" (D cup)
   Your size would be 38D

Tips & Warnings

• Always buy a bra on that fits on the tightest hook and eye, because they always stretch out over time, this way they will fit for a longer time.
• If you can only afford a couple of bras, buy neutral colors.
• Take a couple of your favorite shirts and try the bras on underneath to ensure they look great before you purchase them.
• If you have any doubts about your measurements, most stores will have someone who will measure you for free.
• Be aware that they will come into the dressing room and measure your with your bra on, sometimes they will ask you to take off the bra...be prepared and they are professionals, don't worry.
