@fellbabe,howdy babe,see i need your help.i can;t seems to get a good bra to buy.like i can;t determine my size.i ve a full bust yet i can;t wear a 36 because it will be too big neither can i wear a 34,it will be too small.i don;t understand all those uk sizes and american sizes.any advice.
your bra can make or break an outfit ,
many Nigerians don't wear the correct bra size, this is largely because they don't know their correct sizes and not many places offer fitting services.
I found a site that showed how u can do it yourself at home, all u need is a measuring tape and u're good to go. Note that these are uk measurements, most bras come with both uk and American measurements so it should be pretty easy finding your perfect size
To determine your correct size, you need to know 2 measurements, the band measurement and the cup measurement.
For the band measurementKeep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
If it is an even number add 4 ins.
If it is an odd number add 5 ins.
This gives you the band or back size.
When measuring, you should always round down!
Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down to 29 ins.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
[b]For the cup measurements/b]
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less or minus the underband = cup size.
When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
34 Back size & 34 Full Bust size = A cup.
34 Back size & 35 Full Bust size (+1 ins difference) = B cup.
34 Back size & 36 Full Bust size (+2 ins difference) = C cup.
34 Back size & 37 Full Bust size (+3 ins difference) = D cup,
progressing to DD cup, E, F etc
