What is My Bra Size
From the time we start developing, our big question is "What is my bra size?". It is estimated that the greater portion of women do not know what is their bra size, and wear a bra that is either too small (most cases), or too large.
To buy a bra that fits right, you have to measure right. Taking a few minutes with a seamstress tape will make the difference between comfort and support or an ill-fitting bra.
Our bodies change with time, therefore, it's good practice to measure yourself before shopping for a new bra.
