To find out your bra size, all you need is a measuring tape. You should do this at least yearly.
To find your band size:
Wearing an unlined, non-padded bra, run the measuring tape all the way around your back where your band sits, being careful to keep the tape level. It should be as snug as possible without digging.
If you don't get a whole number (33 and 1/2 inches), round to the nearest whole number (34 inches), and then use the chart below to find your band size.
Note: Inches do not equal size, meaning 34 inches does not equal a size 34 band. (You must apply Your band size+4)
To find your cup size:
Run the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, and up around the fullest part of your bust ,The number in inches corresponds to your cup size according this table:

🙂 Wear the bra on the loosest band hook, then you can tighten it as the band naturally stretches over time.
🙂 Keep a some good bras in rotation, More bras reduce the frequency of washing.
🙂 Wash your bra every few wears. The more you wear and wash your bra, the faster it'll lose its elasticity, You need that stretch to give you support.
🙂 Use a "mesh garment bag" to wash your bra. That will help protect its shape and style, Machine wash on the delicate or hand wash cycle.
🙂 Lay your bra flat to dry instead of tossing it in the dryer or hanging it by a strap. The high temperature of the dryer will increase the breakdown of materials, causing it to lose elasticity.
🙂 The band sits level all the way around your ribcage without riding up, constricting, or squeezing.
🙂 The center of the bra lays completely flatagainst the breastbone. That center piece between the cups is called the gore, and it shouldn’t hover above the chest.
🙂 The straps fit snugly without digging in.They should be adjusted to fit snugly for support, but not too tight that they dig in. Indentations or tired shoulders are a sign they’re too tight.
🙂 The cups don’t gape or dig into the breasts,even when you move around. Be sure to walk, dance, and wiggle around a bit to see how your breasts settle into the cups, and check both the sides and the front for potential spillage.
🙂 Lastly, raise your arms, If the bra stays in place then you have found a good fit for you.
