Do you find yourself tugging or pulling at your bra throughout the day? Did you know that nearly 80% of all women are wearing the wrong bra size? Yes, that is not a typo, eighty percent wear the wrong size. No wonder we find ourselves whipping our bras off the moment we get home! Let’s talk about how we can remedy this scenario, and how to find the perfect bra size.
Our recommendation at Chérie Amour is to take your body measurements. You can measure yourself or find a tailor at a bridal shop or retailer such as Nordstrom. If you choose to measure yourself, you will need a soft tape measure, which may be purchased on Amazon for under $3, or found at most grocery or drug stores. Measuring yourself may seem easier said than done but we promise, it’s not too hard! Accurately measuring yourself will help relieve some of your frustration when guessing your size for lingerie. If you order lingerie throughout the year, it is important to measure yourself before each order, as weight may fluctuate. Some may need to keep in mind their monthly cycle as well when breast tissue can swell and extra water weight may be present. Try and measure after your cycle if possible.
