How to take measurements correctly?
Quite a lot of women buy underwear in the sizes they would like to wear. But this is wrong. The choice of any underwear should begin with taking measurements.
There are two main indicators: bust circumference and underbust circumference. When measuring the second parameter, the measuring tape should be placed under the bust, and your arms should be lowered. When measuring the bust circumference, you should be in a regular bra (without push-up) in which you feel most comfortable. Place the tape at the fullest points of the bust, and it should not be too tight.
Once you have the results, you can find your size in special tables, which are plentiful on the internet. After that, you can try to choose or buy underwear on the website belleforme.com.ua, which has excellent Push-up bras and many other various models.
When your weight changes, either up or down, you should always update your measurements.
How to properly try on a bra?
The circumferences we measured are interdependent. Thus, two bras with the same cup size but different band sizes differ from each other. The cup capacity increases with the underbust circumference.
Try on at least ten classic-style bras. You can try both rigid and soft forms – whichever is more comfortable for you. After that, you can try other models.
How should a bra fit?
First, pay attention to the band. It should not dig into your ribcage, but it should not hang loosely either, as it bears 90% of the support, with the remaining 10% on the straps. Bend in different directions, raise and lower your arms – if the band shifts, try a smaller size. The band should be strictly horizontal. There should be a little room under the closure, enough to fit two fingers. If there is more space, the bra will ride up.
Now about the cups. If they are wrinkled or have folds, take a smaller cup size. If the cups compress the breast or the underwire lifts even slightly, you need a larger size.
If the bust is positioned lower than desired, tighten the straps. The main thing is not to overdo it so that they do not dig into your shoulders. Make sure that the straps are not bearing too much weight. You can check this by slipping them off your shoulders. If the band stays in place, everything is fine.
Little things to pay attention to
If you have a broad back, which increases the underbust circumference, and small breasts, choose the cup size and adjust the band length with a bra extender. If your breasts are different sizes, use a push-up – simply place an additional insert in the smaller cup.
If you carefully read these tips and approach buying underwear responsibly, the time you spend will pay off with dividends. Both in terms of improving your shape and providing the necessary comfort.
