An estimated 70% of women do not know their proper bra measurements. Without knowing these measurements, it can be very difficult to buy fashionable and well fitting clothes. Many women's clothing items use bra or cup size measurements to distinguish differences in fit, so these measurements can be extremely important. This section will arm you with the knowledge you need for these crucial measurements.
Additionally, a woman's breasts change significantly over time, particularly during and after pregnancy. Weight loss, gain and monthly cycle variations can also have an effect on the fit of your bra. It is advised that you check your bra size once or twice a year or as necessary due to significant weight changes.
Take a look at the link below for accurate detailed instructions on how to measure yourself correctly for a bra.

Go to a reputable store, i.e., Victoria's Secret. They will measure you correctly and then suggest the type of bra you are looking for. I suggest the wireless "Body by Victoria". Really great fitting and feeling bra (panties are so comfortable).

Go to a professional bra fitter. They'll measure you at Victoria's Secret.

Measure yourself right underneath the breast area (where the band would go) - that's your band size (32, 34, 36, etc.). Then measure yourself around the fullest part of your breast. Take the difference, and that's your cup size. One inch equals an "A", two inches equals a "B", three a "C", and so on.

Try Bras on until you find the size that fits you comfortably. That's how I try on thongs. Just kidding.

If you have a Maiden Form in your area they'll give you a better than accurate measure, if not Sears will usually measure you.
