Every woman knows she is unique. Her features, sense of humor, interests, and physical shape are parts of her individuality. Her life is largely shaped by genes, traits, and habits, and she works hard to make sure that what she has been given looks attractive, not to mention sophisticated and practical.

It is not surprising, then, that the bra is a contentious issue. This minor wardrobe accessory has major implications in a woman’s comfort and style. Some feel it is a carry over from older times, while others would not think of leaving the house without wearing one. Either way, the bra functions much like a woman’s other features. If she is smart, careful, and takes care of her bra, her bra returns the favor.

But how can women make smarter decisions when purchasing bras?

It’s about knowing your body. And which bra suits you. There are several types of bras, and we will discuss those shortly. First, though, it is important to know your size, and also how to fit a bra. Taking your size is simple. Use a tape measure and measure your rib cage. Use the tape measure and measure your breasts. Subtract the size of your breasts from the size of your ribcage. The number is your size. This number is translated into your bra size.

0 – 1 ½ =AA
½ – 1 =A
1 – 2 1/2 =B
2 ½ – 3 ½ =C
3 ½ – 4 ½ =D
4 ½ – 6 ½ = DD (E)
6 – 7 = DD (F)
7 – 8 = G

Now that you know your size, you have to understand the different types of bras.

Push-up Bras gift your bust a natural lift while pushing them together. Push-up bras are great for a smaller bust because they can add cleavage.

Padded Bras help add a natural enhancement to your bust. Sometimes the pads are removable.

Demi Bras are half-cup bras. They do not cover the entire bust, creating a minimal look.

Sports Bras are essential for sports because they provide maximum support while reducing bounce. They’re a must have for most physical activities.

Minimizer Bras are designed for full figures, to reduce the bust line. They reduce the bust line and create a more rounded shape.

Seamless Bras offer medium support and create a naturally rounded appearance with a smooth shape. These bras are great for wearing underneath tight-fitting sweaters.

Nursing Bras are intended for nursing mothers. The cups often pull down to make breastfeeding easier while providing the most support.

Now that you know your size and which bra best suits your shape, it’s time to visit your favorite lingerie retailer. Bits of Lace in Charleston, SC, has professionals ready to help you pick out the right bra and answer any questions you might have.
