1. Measure your chest size

Measure the size of your chest from under your breasts. Make sure the measuring tape is straight at the front and the back (the mirror can come in handy here) this can be fairly tight, seeing as the bra is made out of stretchy material and the tape measure out of platic.  


2. Measure your cup size

To measure your cup size you measure the full portion of your breasts, this meaning a nipple level.

Now that you’ve found the prefect bra size it’s important to find a bra that suits your wardrobe, personal style and is comfortable. But first some more tips on finding the perfect bra: 


1. Measure tightly around the chest under the breasts. The bra’s fabric with mostly likely stretch, the bra is made out of more stretch than the tape measure. 

2. Check whether a ‘double’ breast is created. If this happens the bra is too small. 

3. Going for a bra with underwire? Make sure the wire doesn’t end on but next to the breasts.  

4. Make sure the bra fit the objective that you have for it. Pick a sports bra for sports, a smooth bra for tight outfits, a push-up for more bosom, etc.
