Rules for choosing the perfect bra

An invaluable piece of women's wardrobe that serves as a support for the chest and relieves load from the back– is a bra. And if he was chosen incorrectly, then this will significantly affect the shape of the woman's body, add her age and kilograms, make her unhappy. Therefore, you need to choose a bra correctly and competently.

What is important to know when choosing a bra?

• If you are thin, but your chest is magnificent, then you need to make sure that the load on your shoulders and spine is evenly distributed. Only an underwire bra, with one-piece cups and elastic straps can handle this.
• If, on the contrary, you have a large figure, and your chest is small, then choose a bra, focusing on the size of the cups, even if the belt is small – after buying an extension fastener (bra -extender) this issue will be resolved quickly.
• It is better to choose a bra with a wide back strap, which will better withstand displacement of the bra.
• For a wide chest setting a model with hard bones is suitable.
• To lift sagging breasts, a cupped bra with a padded bottom is ideal.
• If you want to visually enlarge your breasts, choose a bra model with fully padded cups.

Now about the correct choice of bra size... For this refer to our cheat sheet:

1. the chest fits completely in the cups and fits snugly against the fabric on all sides;
2. the bra should not rub or press, and its straps should not leave marks on the shoulders;
3. no more than four fingers can "crawl" between the back and the bra belt;
4. only two fingers fit under the straps;
5. the bones go beyond the chest and lie on the body, in the area of the armpit;
6. Strap adjustment is approximately in the middle of the back (for average height);
7. bra strap closes to sternum;
8. The line of the belt along the back is located under the shoulder blades at the narrowest point of the torso and runs parallel to the floor, but does not form an arc and does not ride up during wear.

Adhering to these simple rules, you will be able to choose the perfect bra for yourself. Otherwise, you risk your health: uncomfortable bras squeeze your chest and prevent the outflow of lymph, which leads to hand numbness, migraine, mastopathy and even oncology.

It is also important to take measurements of the chest and correctly determine the size of the bra. So, as a standard designation for a bra, it is customary to take the numerical value of the volume of the breast and cup of the bra, for example, 75B, where the numerical value – is the volume of the breast, which is measured by the most protruding points, and B – the volume of the cup. It can be calculated by measuring the circumference underbust without tensioning the centimeter tape, and then calculate the difference between the volume of the bust and the girth underbust. As a result, a value will be obtained that will correspond to a certain letter designation:

10-11 cm – AA
12-13 cm – A
14-15 cm – B
16-17 cm – С
18-19 cm – D 
20-21 cm – E 
22-23 cm – F 
24-26 cm – G
27-28 cm – H

What else it is desirable to consider?

• When you have a choice, buy a bra & nbsp; with or without bones; remember: & nbsp; if your breast size & nbsp; with and & nbsp; more, it needs to provide additional support.
• If if you doubt what size to choose, 75 or 80, then it is better to take more and go to the studio to shorten the belt.
