Finding The Ideal Bra Size

Finding the right and perfect size for your twin gazelle can be a bit challenging and daunting even in vast shopping malls, but there is a secret to it especially when you can’t see your actual bra size.

bra sizes are alternatives to the actual fitted size in which the cup volume remains the same despite a change in the band size and cup letter changes. To find your sister size isn’t that hard. All you need is to know your measured/actual bra size, and the alternative can be gotten by shifting in the opposite direction the band numbers and the cup letters by a size up or down.

SISTER SIZE DOWN: One size smaller than your band size and one letter larger than your current cup size. i.e. Your sister size down will be 34D.
