In the column where the edge of the tape lands, look for the band size you measured in Step 1. Wrap this side around the fullest part of your bust, and line up the bottom of the tape with the top of your bra band. Wrap it around just under your bust, making sure the top of the tape is aligned with the bottom of your bra band. No push up bras or bulky sweaters for this! I have neither the time nor the inclination to do hand-laundry.Before you start, make sure you’re in a lightly lined bra and a tight top, bodysuit or no top. Anything I can't toss in the washer and dryer, I leave in the store. Besides, they are 'fussy' in their laundry care. And when you buy cheap ones, well, we all know the saying about getting what you pay for. I can't afford to spend $30+ on one undergarment. Not only that, bras are ridiculously expensive! I'm on a fixed income. Plus, I despise underwire bras they always, always, always poke me, yet, I find non-underwire ones nearly impossible to find anymore. I find them uncomfortable and restrictive.

Use a mirror or a buddy to make sure the tape is level all the way around. Measure loosely enough that you don't push down your breasts at all, but not so loosely that the tape is slipping around. Stand straight up and measure around the fullest part of your bust. Don't worry, your bra won't actually fit like this! This is just a measurement of how much "give" you have around your ribcage. Measure the same part of your ribcage, but this time pull the tape as tightly as you can, like you're trying to break it. Otherwise known as the "Break the Tape" measurement. For this measurement, hold the tape nice and snug, about how you want your band to feel on you. This is around your ribcage where you want the band to hit. Or, they're worried that wearing a large cup size means their breasts are abnormal, which can be a hard mindset to overcome for women who have been taught to be self-conscious about their breasts. A lot of women are afraid that, if their bra is a larger cup size, people (people who don't understand what cup sizes mean!) will think that they're "faking" having larger breasts. Going to a larger cup size is a scary prospect in a society that judges women on the size of their breasts. The stereotype that a B or a C cup is "normal" means that a lot of women feel comfortable with those numbers.
