Sometimes its best to get the information straight from the source. Hips And Curves carries a wide range a bras to fit most sizes. In the guide below you can find the best way to get properly fitted for a bra. If you have some secret tips feel free to share.

To best present the girls in the most complimentary light, make sure they’re in the right brassiere. You know how that saying goes, if you got it, flaunt it! So, if you’ve been blessed with abundance, then by all means, don’t take your breasts for granted by hoisting them in plain Jane bras! They deserve sass! They deserve sexy! They deserve to be treated to fine lace and leopard print.

It’s true, the bigger your breasts are, the more difficult it is to find a bra that fits right. Sometimes the underwire pinches, or you spill a bit over the top. But never fear, there is always a solution!

First of all, let’s bring out the soft tape measure and do a private fitting. In front of a mirror, measure underneath your breasts. Starting at your cleavage, pass the tape measure behind your back and around to your front. This is your band size.

Next, move the tape up to your armpits and measure above your breast. Write that number down on a piece of paper. Now, measure your breast at nipple level. Subtract the number you wrote down from the nipple-around-and-back measurement, and voila! That’s your cup-size!

0 to 1/2″ AA cup
1/2″ to 1″ A cup
1″ to 2 1/2″ B cup
2 1/2″ to 3 1/2″ C cup
3 1/2″ to 4 1/2″ D cup
4 1/2″ to 6″ DD (or E cup for some bras)
6″ to 7″ DDD (or F cup for some bras)
7″ to 8″ G cup
8″ to 9″ GG cup
9″ to 10″ H cup
