To do this, you need to choose an old bra that sits on the woman as conveniently and comfortably as possible, as well as a centimeter tape. Lingerie should not be with a visually increasing bust effect!

Measurements are carried out as follows:

  1. All clothing above the waist, except for the selected bra, is removed.
  2. The tape is held directly under the bust to measure body girth. At the same time, it should fit snugly to the skin, but not squeeze it. The result is recorded.
  3. Next, the tape is held directly on the chest. It should pass along the most prominent points of the underwear left on the body. In this case, the tape will need to be positioned quite freely.The result is recorded again.

These two calculated parameters will be quite enough to correctly determine your breast size and in the future acquire perfectly fitting underwear, even in online stores. Of course, the result of the girth of the bust may not exactly match the data from the table. Experts recommend adding 2-3 centimeters to the resulting figure. In this case, the matched bra will definitely not squeeze the chest.

It is important to determine not only the girth, but also the volume of the bust. This will not require any additional measurements. The size of the bra cup is determined very simply. It is enough to subtract the body circumference under it from the obtained girth of the chest. The figure in centimeters will prove to be an interesting parameter. It is also often indicated on labels of underwear, especially those produced abroad.
