Determination
of your size correctly
Knowing your correct
sizes in underwear is more important than knowing your sizes
in normal outwear.
Remember
that there is nothing between you and your underwear. And it
is necessary that such a cloth that is so close to you should
fit to your sizes.
Correct
size for bras that are the most "complicated" parts
of underwear is much more important. Once you know your sizes
you will be able to buy your bras without trying them on.
Finding
bra cup size : Encircle the
tape measure starting from your back to the front side but passing
it over your breasts this time.
The value to be found shall be longer than sub-breast circle
value that you acquired in the first phase. This difference
enables you to find cup measure.
Finding the bra size measure:
In
order to measure your breast circle, encircle the tape measure
below your breasts. Make sure that tape measure passes below
your breasts and on your back forming a straight and horizontal
line.
For
example if your circle measure is 76 then the bra that you should
be using must be 80 size. As bra sizes increase in units of
5 cm, in values that exceed the main unit the following bigger
size should be bought.

Suppose
that your sub-breast circle is 73 cm and breast-top circle
is 86 cm. As the difference between two measures is 11 cm
your cup measure should be B. Consequently your bra measure
is 75B.
We said
that not all of the bras are produced with cup size. B is
accepted as the normal cup measure and bras are produced generally
as B cup. If cup is not stated on the bra you can think of
it as B. Anyway majority of women use B cup measure.
Lower
parts of underwear, i.e. pants, strings and those in single
part in the shape of body, are classified by standard body
sizes (For example; S [Small], M [Medium], L [Large] or 36,
38, 40, 42, etc.).

Handle
a tape measure, stand in front of the mirror and take off your
cloths and bra.
We
recommend you not to take measurements a couple of days before
your period so that you can find your correct bra measure. Since
water is hold in the body in many women in this period, breasts
can be more swollen and tense than normal.
Indeed
bra measure comprises of two values; size and cup measures.
While size measure is related to body bigness, cup measure is
related to breast bigness. Each woman has a size and cup measure,
however, separate cups are not produced in each bra model because
generally breast bigness of women is proportional to their bodies.
