The ultimate Bra guide… this post is strictly for the women folks out there… Guys!!! Please STAY AWAY! (For a day)

Women the world over may soon have bras that fit better, thanks to researchers in Honk Kong who’ve come up with a brand new formula.

Bra designers currently use the formula devised in the US nearly 70 years ago in 1935 to design the underwear.

According to that formula, the size of a woman’s breasts and therefore the bra size that she needs is decided by measuring under and across the bust, with “Alphabet” bras being the norm: A cup (youthful); B cup (average); C cup(large); and D cup (heavy).

85%… The number of women in the United States wearing the wrong bra, according to a recent episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show…

How to buy the best bra

- Since your weight fluctuates every six months, get measured every six months

- If your bra band rides up in the back, go a size smaller

- The centre of your bra should fit flatly between your breasts

- Make an appointment at small, private boutique for fittings; it will help in reducing the embarrassment quotient

- You wardrobe must have two nude bras, at least one black, a strapless and a couple lacy bras

- Most women won’t realise that they are wider across the back

- To prevent skin pinching and ugly back bulges, fasten the middle clasp and then check your rear view in a mirror.

- Any sign of fabric strain means you need a larger band size

You could be wearing the perfect designer garment, but you’ll ruin it if you wear the wrong bra. Every second woman you meet is wearing the wrong bra size. And that’s the case simply because they shy away from getting measured professionally.

Watch-out ladies… wear the perfect fit… WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!
