How to choose the right bra size? How to measure your bra size ? Two essential questions before buying underwear.
Over 70% of women don't know their bra size. Either because you've evolved or because you haven't taken the time.
Essential and primordial, this precious step is not to be neglected. One of the missions of Chichi Castelnango is to promise all women to feel reassured in beautiful lingerie without forgetting to be above all at ease and comfortable in their lingerie.
A woman's chest is likely to swell or even shrink due to several factors... Just like menstrual periods, a hormonal problem, a pregnancy which can be at the origin of the evolution of the chest. Thus, it is important to calculate your chest size fairly regularly to buy underwear in the right size.
How to measure your bra size?
Step 1: The measuring instrument
Get a tape measure to measure the two most important criteria for knowing your chest size: the bust circumference and the chest circumference.
Step 2: The bust measurement or also called the back measurement
To calculate your bust size, place the tape measure just below your chest (or your balconies if you are wearing a lingerie top) and all around your bust. Be careful not to tighten the tape too much while ensuring that the tape is not too loose.
Step 3: Chest measurement:
The tape should be placed on the tip of the breasts (in other words the nipples) going around under the armpits, trying as much as possible to remain horizontal.
Some tips and tricks to avoid distorting the measurements:
- Stand up straight when taking the measurement,
- Make sure the tape is even with the skin,
- Wear an underwired bra without push-up or foam,
- Ask someone to help you take your measurements.
- Check with the brand and its size guide
- Take your measurements at least once a year.
How to choose the right lingerie based on your cup size?
Calculate your cup size
To know your cup size, you need to calculate the difference between your chest size and your waist size.
For example, if your chest measurement is 93cm and your back or bust measurement is 74cm, then you need to subtract 93-74 = 19. Therefore, the cup size corresponds to a D.
This result gives you your hat size according to the size guide below:
