Along with acne and lovesickness, bra size is one of those merciless questions that strike us like a bolt from the blue during puberty and to which, for a moment, we delude ourselves into thinking we can give a univocal, pacifying, more or less painless, definitive answer.
And instead, when you least expect it, here they come back punctually: indecipherable skin rashes, new obsessions and the cup that no longer “fits” on our body in constant change. A proven delusion, it is clear, but will there ever be a way out of it? Let it be put on record: at least the bra can be saved from cul-de-sac. Following some pragmatic coordinates, to be tested to believe.
Let’s start immediately with the measurements (first, second, third and so on). According to the canonical method, to find the one that best suits our chest, all we need to do is undress with a tape measure in hand, and an iPhone calculator in the other, we fearful of numbers, adding the circumference of our chest just below the breast line. The correlation between the centimeters obtained and the Italian size will be obtained by subtracting 60cm and then dividing the result by 5. For example, if the circumference is 70, the mathematical equation will be: 70-60 = 10:5 = 2. So, there you go a second size.
Second step: the bra cupor the measurement generally indicated with the letters of the alphabet in escalation. In this case, the tape measure will be wrapped around the circumference of the breast at the height of the nipple, and then the centimeters of the chest circumference taken previously are subtracted from this. The difference is approximately associated as follows: < 5 = cup A, 10 = cup B, 15 = cup C, 20 = cup D, 25 = cup E. For example, if the bust measurement is 85 and the underbust measurement is 70, the calculation will be 85-70 = 15. Consequently, a B cup.
Sure, you might think, a good dose of patience and that’s it? Oh no, when it comes to bra size, we can agree with that, mathematics is an opinion. Useful yes, but not absolute. It is well known that each lingerie brand has its own (dissimilar) reference tables, as does each country, and our efforts could be in vain as soon as we change party. The shape of the breast then comes into play to destabilize the algebra, which, although classified in specific categories, varies from person to person. Indicatively, for those who tend to have a round and generous breast, models with underwire are recommended to balance the weight that weighs on the shoulder straps, rather than the variant contour. For the décolleté teardrop-shaped and less revealing, the low-cut balcony could to match the perfect size, while for small breasts a large champagne glass fit is with the triangle plunge or the bralette without underwire.
It is sad to admit that the eye plays its part, but it can be misleading. We often become attached to this model. Sui generis (of that size), wearing it for years, and yet it is not necessarily the most flattering and healthy option for our silhouette. With consequent repercussions, such as back pain, neck pain, bad posture, migraines, redness. In short, it’s not a small thing. For this reason the fitting It is practically essential for every new purchase and, specifically, if when trying on the bra you simultaneously overcome these impasses we are close to the perfect size goal:
- Fastened to the outermost hook, the bra does not fall down even without wearing straps.
- The side band is straight and set perpendicular to the back. Neither sloping downwards nor pulled too high.
- As we lower ourselves, the breasts are perfectly at ease in the cups. Not compressed, overflowing. And not even wandering in cosmic voids.
- As we make small movements with our torso and arms, the bra accompanies us without constraints. Nothing is tight, nothing is “dancing”.
And that said, all that remains is to wish you/us good courage!
