Get your bust measurement. Wrap the measuring tape somehow loosely around your chest at your nipple level. Round it to the nearest whole number if necessary.

What do the letters ABCD stand for?

Let’s have a little trivia here. Do you understand the letters ABCD and the numbers 32, 34, and so on?

Here’s what Kidz World says:

The letters - like A, B, C, D - stand for cup sizes. The numbers - like 32, 34, 36, 38 – tell you the band size – that's the part of the bra that goes around your torso. In other words, a 34A means that your boobs are an A cup and that your bra is 34 inches around

Is a fitted bra really necessary?

As long as your nipples don’t show through, you’re fine, right?

Wrong.

Having a fitted bra can make you look stunning and will also give you that good posture. Aside from that, you’ll also reap these benefits:

Comfort - When you wear a perfectly fitted bra, you feel at ease. You don't have that feeling of uneasiness or that agony of malfunctions or whatsoever.
Good Shape - When you have a nicely fitted bra, it will emphasize your bust shape. It will give you that dapper look for your outfit.
Breast Support - The primary purpose of a bra is to support the weight of our breasts. Not having the exact bra size won't be able your breast to get that enough support they need.

Prevents Sagging - Your choice of bra will help your breast maintain its form by preventing your bust from sagging especially when you have bigger than average boobs.
Prevents Backaches - When you are using a fitting bra, this can also aid your back. Sometimes, your wrong choice of bra size causes you to have that pain on your back when you have big boobs.

How do you know you have the wrong size?

There are things that you must remember for you to know if you are wearing a fitted bra. It is actually easy to figure out if you are not wearing your bra size. Check these out:

1
When you feel the hook and eye at the back a little scratchy and the underwires are digging somewhere on your breasts, well that is an indicator that you've got a wrong bra.
2
Don on a white shirt. If you see anything that is bulging, then it's definitely not your size.
3
When you feel your bra straps are falling off your shoulder even if you adjusted them correctly it is because you are not wearing your correct size.
4
Keep in mind that there are different boob shapes and sizes as well. Not because you have the same size bra with your best friend or your sister, their bra will fit you as well.
