    Re: Bra size

    Hi Shravantika,

    It's simple if you have a measuring tape. Just measure your chest below your breast and then measure along your breast. Eg: If ur chest measures 34 and along your breast 36- ur bra size is 34 B. Every inch of difference from your base is your cup size. 1-A, 2-B so on.

    Hope this helps.

    You can also go to special bra stores where professionsal sales women help you with fittings to identify the right size. Victoria Secret is great store to shop in

    Re: Bra size

    Hello Ladies,

    I too need some help in buying bras in the US. I normally use to buy for a year from Naidu Hall everytime I go for vacation. This time I didn't go shopping due to want of time.

    I want to try some bra models sold here that will be really comfortable to wear.
