How can I make sure my new lingerie will fit?

The best way to ensure a good fit when buying women's intimates is to know your measurements before you start shopping. Take your measurements at home or have a tailor help you. Keep a measuring tape near your computer for quick reference while shopping online. If your lingerie, especially your bra, is uncomfortable, you may be wearing the wrong size. Many women wear the wrong size bra for their figures. To make sure you are wearing the right size bra, take your measurements at home. First, measure the circumference of your rib cage right under your bust. Add 5 inches to the rib-cage measurement to obtain the band size. Thus, a 27-inch measurement equals a 32-inch band. Second, measure the circumference of your body at the fullest part of your bust. The difference between the bust measurement and the band measurement determines the cup size.

1 inch = A

2 inches = B

3 inches = C

4 inches = D

5 inches = DD
