This is the first and most important step before going on a shopping spree. 1. Get a tape measure. 2. Measure your chest circumference at the level of the tip of the breasts. 3. Take the measurement just below your chest. Be careful not to overtighten the tape measure:you must be able to slide it without problem. There you go, you know 1. your cup depth and 2. your bust size. These measurements will determine if you are running 75A, 90B or 100D! Weight gain or loss, pregnancy, etc. Remember to measure your measurements regularly.
A little thing before going to the cabin:convert your measurements to standard size. For this, there are many sites on the internet. Otherwise, ask directly to the saleswomen present in the specialized stores. Now is the time to choose the right model. If you have a fairly small chest, you can opt for bras without underwiring (triangles) or with volume (padded, push-up, push-up, etc.). On the other hand, if your cup is equal to or greater than C, choose models that are well enveloping and with underwire, for optimal daily support. But nothing prevents you from bringing a little fantasy on occasion with a demi or balconette bra!
That's it, have you chosen your model? Now it's time to try it out. At the level of stapling, you must be comfortable at the widest notch, indeed, with time and repeated washing, the material tends to relax. So if you're already on the tightest fit when you try on, you risk leaving your new bra in the closet quickly... As for the straps, the more generous your chest, the wider they should be so as not to saw off your shoulders. Well adjusted, you should be able to fit a finger between the strap and you. If everything is set right, you'll forget you're wearing your bra!
