Understanding Bra Sizes

I am here today to talk to you about how to measure your bra size. When you pick up a bra the tag will indicate the size. There is a number and a letter, the number refers to the width of the band and the letter refers to the size of the wire. When you are measuring your band size you want to start from underneath the breast tissue in the front, go all the way to the back and get the measurement of your rib cage. Measurements start at 28 and go up increments of two inches all the way up to the 50's. If you measure between 30 and 32 inches around, I would recommended a 32 inch band, if you measure between 32 and 34 inches, I would recommend a 34 inch band. The cup is a little bit different. A cup is a measurement of your breast tissue in proportion to your band size. Cups range from size A and go all the way into H, I, J. The most common ones we know is A, B, C, D and double D.
