level and snug.
For the most accurate measurements, measure to the nearest ¼ inch or ½ cm.
How will you know when you’ve found the perfect bra size?
There are a few signs that indicate that you may not have found the right, let alone perfect, size bra.
- Your breasts should not spill over the sides or middle of the bra.
- “Double breasts” should not form between the cups.
- The cups of your bra should not be loose; they should enclose the whole breast.
- The band around your body should not be pulled up at the back and should form a straight line at the bottom.
- The shoulder straps of your bra should not dig into your skin, and you should be able to comfortably place your finger between your shoulder and the strap.

Why You Should Have a Professional Bra Fitting
If all else fails with your ability to determine your true bra size, having a professional bra fitting will be best.
Whether you’ve had a professional fitting many times or later in your life, you will be amazed by the results of being fitted with the perfect bra.
The professional fitters can assist you with any problems you have had with choosing the right size bra on your own, as well as introduce you to the best bras that work best for your shape and figure.
Go to your local lingerie boutique or specialty store to get your bra fitting so you can start bra shopping the proper way.
In the end, not only do you save yourself from an improper-looking outfit, but also from any back and breast pains that may come with consistently wearing an ill-fitted bra; this especially holds true for women with larger breasts.
