The Secret of Bra Sizing

I know I have blogged about the amazing Maidenform lasercut bra in the past, and truly, it is amazing. But, in recent months I have discovered another secret of bra sizing (with many thanks credited to my flatmate!). Whatever your measured bra size is, try bras on of that size and then--hoho--try bras on that are one size bigger in the cup, and one size smaller in the band.



Example: you measure 34C. Try bras that are both 34C and 32D.
Example: you measure 36B. Try bras that are both 36B and 34C.

If you are like me, you will discover that the one size smaller band and one size larger cup is truly the ideal fit for lift and support! Further, you get a lot more shelf-life with a smaller band as bras tend to stretch out over time. And of course, you get the vanity points of being a larger boob cup and smaller body girth. Hah!

And remember, always use the widest hook on the band first and only move in a notch when the bra has stretched out.
