First, we start with measuring your band size. I will use a soft tape measure to wrap around your torso, just below your bust, making sure it’s snug and parallel to the floor. This will give us the measurement for your band size. Then, I’ll measure around the fullest part of your bust to get the cup size. After that, you can try on different bras in various styles to ensure they fit correctly and comfortably. We’ll assess how each bra sits against your rib cage and shoulders so that there’s no pinching or discomfort.
It is essential to remember that bra sizing is not universal and may differ between brands due to variations in materials and design elements like wire placement or strap width. It is also important for women to know that breast shape plays a crucial role in finding the perfect fit–some bras are better suited for fullness at the top of the breast while others work best with fullness at the bottom.
It’s worth noting that after weight loss or gain or changes caused by aging or pregnancy, it’s necessary for women to have another fitting since these factors can greatly affect their bra size. Understanding all these nuances about bra fittings will help you find a comfortable and supportive bra tailored specifically for you. My recommendation after this would be trying on different styles with varying degrees of support depending on what activities you need them for; whether it’s daily wear or intense physical activity–having an assortment of bras suitable for every occasion ensures comfort throughout.
