We are all constantly told that women are wearing the wrong sized bra, in fact a staggering 80 per cent of us. According to Bras.co.uk, we aren’t doing anything about it because we all think we are in the 20 per cent who are wearing the right size.<\/p>\n
These guidelines from Bras.co.uk will help you to measure your true bra size<\/strong><\/p>\n To find out your true bra size, firstly measure around your chest, under your bust where the lowest part of your bra should sit.<\/p>\n For this first measurement, the tape measure should be held quite firmly but should not feel uncomfortable. Try to relax – don’t try to breathe in – and make sure the tape measure doesn’t slip down your back while you take your measurement.<\/p>\n Take this measurement in inches and if it is an even number, add four, if it is odd, add five.<\/p>\n The resulting number is your band size.<\/p>\n Secondly measure around the fullest part of your bust.\u00a0 The tape measure should sit lightly on your bust but not squash it. This measurement in inches is your bust size and is used to work out your cup size. The cup size is obtained by subtracting the band size from the bust size.<\/p>\n If the two are the same, you are an A cup. If your bust size is one inch larger than your band size, you are a B cup, two inches larger and you are a C cup. Three inches larger a D cup. Four inches larger a DD cup.\u00a0 Five inches larger an E cup. And so on up to a K cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are all constantly told that women are wearing the wrong sized bra, in fact a staggering 80 per cent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
