How to Establish Your Correct Size \r
\r
\r
Tips:\r
\r
• Wear a well-fitting, non-padded bra\r
• If someone is measuring you, they should stand at your side\r
• Breathe normally, hold you hands loosely \r
• Make sure the measuring tape is parallel with the ground. The tape should fit snuggly but not cut into the flesh\r
\r
\r
Taking Measurements\r
\r
\r
Step 1: Underbust Measurement\r
\r
Take the measurement by holding the tape directly under the bust (measurement 1 in the drawing). Make sure the tape is parallel with the ground and youve exhaled to get the smallest measurement possible. Round up the measurement and assign it to a size (see the table; each size has a 5cm range).\r
\r
\r
Step 2: Bust Measurement\r
\r
Stand straight and place the tape directly over the fullest point of your bust without cutting it (measurement 2 in the drawing).\r
\r
\r
Step 3: Determining Your Bra Size\r
\r
Your correct size is the cross-point of the two measurements. For example, an underbust of 96cm, a bust of 113cm, is size 42C (see the table).\r
