Bra Fitting Questionaire

Bra Fitting Questionnaire Instructions:

Use a cloth tailor's or dressmaker's tape measure. (You can also use a strong piece of string and a standard tape measure).   An assistant with your measurements can greatly improve accuracy!  If you take accurate measurements I can give you an accurately sized bra. All the questions I ask take the place of what a "professional bra fitter" would see while she is in the booth with you.

Measuring Directions

1. Fullest Bust Measurement:

a. Wear your best fitting bra without padding.  b. Measure around the fullest part of the bra using just enough pressure to keep the tape level.

Measure completely around the bust at the fullest point, holding the tape measure straight but not tight.

2. With your best fitting bra on look down between your breasts. Typically the center band (the "gore") of your bra will be an inch or more away from your chest. Measure the distance from the "gore" of your bra (between the cups) to your breastbone. In other words, how far in inches is the center of your bra band lifting off your chest? This measurement gives me an idea of how much more room you are going to need for the cups to fit correctly.

3. Remove your bra and measure your ribcage as HIGH as possible UP UNDER  your breasts, where proper fitting band will rest.

(For most women their ribcage gets smaller towards the top. You want to measure your ribcage where your bra band is supposed to be, just under your breasts) Be sure to hold the measuring tape level. If you don't it can add extra inches that aren't there! So that I can better understand your body type you will need make two measurements, once loose and once very tight (with all of the air in your lungs expelled) in the same place.

4. Measure your chest just under your arms being sure to keep your tape measure level. This should be done with and without your bra on.
