My experience with online bra measurement guides.


Have you ever though "I am just an odd size"  or "I am just hard to fit"?    I have, because of a scar under one breast from a childhood surgery finding a good fit is challenging.

One of the things I have learned as a professional bra fitter is that the designer, country of origin, fabric and style will affect the size range that will work for a specific body. It is important to be able to try on a few different size combinations to get the right fit.

Here are some online bra size calculators and the results with my measurements, which are 34 rib/underbust and 42 bust. I found it interesting that none of the websites suggested bras that might work in  the specific size they calculated. I have owned bras in the 38-40 band range but they become loose quickly and ride up my back. I used to fit into a C cup so am amazed that a G was even suggested. It actually made me laugh in surprise.
