Bra Size – How To Measure Your Bust

two out of five girls are wearing the
wrong bra size hi welcome to
watchmojo.com I’m your host Ashley and
today we’re going to show you how to
measure your bust and also show you
different bras for special occasions so
when should someone first good size for
a bra it really depends on the
individual some girls develop faster
than others so there’s no official age
that you should get a bra fitting there
are a lot of factors that can influence
your bra size weight gain weight loss
also after pregnancy you could be a
different bra size we can go through
every point in more detail to find out
exactly what we’re looking for a proper
bra fitting takes two measurements to
get a general size that you can work
with so the first measurement that you
want to take is just under the bust you
want to make sure that the tape’s it’s
nice and snug against the bust the
number that you get here which is 27 you
want to add 5 inches to that whichever
number you get you add 5 inches so in
this case that brings us with 32 that’s
going to be the bra band size that she’s
going to wear the second measurement
that you want to take is around the
largest part of the bust and the number
that you get here which we have a 34 is
two inches larger than the bra band size
for each additional inch you add a cup
size so that would bring us to a cup
size of B so her bra size would be a 32b
after you find your general bra size
from the bra fitting it’s important to
do a five-point bra test the first point
that you want to look for is the bra
band you should make sure that it sits
just below your shoulder blades in the
back and should also be able to run one
finger along the bra band easily if
there are red imprints that means the
bra band is too tight and you’d have to
adjust it with the bra clip in the back
the second point is the bra strap again
you want to make sure that you can run
one finger easily along the strap and
again if there are red imprints that
means that the straps are too tight and
you have to adjust it in the back the
third point is the center bore you want
to make sure that this lies flat against
your skin if it fits away from your body
that means the cups are too small if it
starts digging in that means that the
cups are too large the next point is the
actual bra cup you want to make sure
that the breast sits comfortably inside
of the cup and to make sure that there
isn’t any spillage from the cup
and the final point is the actual
projection you want to make sure when
you look at the side that it sits at a
90-degree angle from the ground so if
you’re looking for comfort we have the
Lassonde so free bra so really great
everyday brought has lightly lined cups
so it really gives you great comfort
throughout the day so if you’re looking
for a push up or cleavage bra we have
the Lassonde eye tech push-up bra it’s a
really great cleavage enhancing bra it’s
one piece of molded technology so it’s
completely seamless gives you a great
push up and is very very comfortable and
if you’re looking for something a little
more romantic and sensual for a special
occasion we have an all-over lace
push-up rod has a removable pushup so if
you don’t like too much cleavage you can
always remove the padding if you’re
looking for something fun and flirty we
