Oddly enough, but more than 70% of women can not give their exact breast size, giving only approximate figures. When buying linen, the responsibility for choosing the size lies with the seller, who is obliged to navigate them. And women only choose a style and color. Otherwise, when the seller finds it difficult to determine the size, the customers spend a long time in the fitting room.
When the crashed bra straps shine through the blouse, and the biting or protruding cups clearly spoil the shape, this indicates the wrong choice of lingerie. Of course, indicators such as quality, shape and design play an important role in choosing a bra, but if your breast size is not determined correctly, consider that you have wasted your time and money.
Knowing your parameters can be useful not only directly in the store when choosing clothes, but also in colloquial speech. Agree that the size of the 70-A sounds more solid than a unit. If you accidentally “talk” about your breast size in a conversation with a beloved man, there is a chance that you will receive a beautiful and convenient gift for the holiday.
In order to correctly calculate the size of the bust, you need to take some measurements. To get the right result, you will need help. Ask a friend, mom or sister about her. When measurements are taken, the arms should be lowered, and the chest at the same time relaxed. For owners of curvaceous forms, the procedure is best done in a bra that does not correct the shape of the breast. Measure the chest volume horizontally with a centimeter tape , passing through the most protruding points of the mammary glands. Then measure the volume under your chest by pressing the tape firmly against your body.
Having received these indicators, we can begin to calculate the size of the bust. The size of the bra is marked by two parameters: letter - the size of the cup, digital - the volume under the chest (cm). We have already measured the volume under the breast, but you need to take into account that on the tag you will find the rounded value of this indicator. Thus, the 70th size varies from 67 to 72 cm, the 2nd breast size (75) - from 73 to 77 cm, and so on according to the formula “plus 4 centimeters in volume add 5 to the size”.
The size of the fullness of the cups is determined by the formula "value of the volume of the breast minus the value of the volume under the breast." Typically, Latin letters are used for marking , starting with "A", where the size of "AA" is considered the smallest size, followed by A, B, C, and so on. Less commonly used is digital marking, which we are used to using in colloquial speech. So, having measured ourselves, we get one of the values at which AA size is zero breast size, A is one, B is two, C is 3 breast size and so on.
Now we look at the correspondence of the indicators of the difference between the volume of the chest and the girth under the breast and determine our cup size. Size A (1) is equal to the difference of 13 centimeters, B (2) is 14 cm, C (3) is 16 cm, D is 19 cm, DD is 21 cm, E is 24 cm, F is 27 cm, and so on.
In order to find out the size of Italian or French underwear, which are very popular, it is necessary to divide the difference between the chest circumference and under the chest by 6. The manufacturers of these European countries use a different sizing system.
When buying a bra, it should in any case be tried on first, since the shape of the product also matters. After all, the size may not suit you 80-V, but 75-C, for example, or 85A.
