What are the forms of the female breast and nipples. Hollywood actresses with a breast size of the third and above (21 photos) 3 breast size large
Many women face the problem of choosing the right bra. It seems that they know their size, the consultant in the store is also convinced of the correct selection, but as a result, the chest is uncomfortable or does not look good in clothes. In addition, more and more purchases are made on the Internet, where there is no opportunity to try on the lingerie you like.
Let's look at how to determine the size of the chest, and then the bra, which will be comfortable and beautiful.
Online breast size calculator
How to determine the size of the chest
First we need to find out the size of the chest. You'll need a measuring tape and a well-fitting bra that sits comfortably on your bust and makes it as beautiful as possible.
Please note that the bra should not have a push up effect, that is, increase the volume of the bust due to foam rubber or something else.So, you will need to take a few simple steps, ideally your hands should be lowered when measuring - ask someone to help you.
- remove all clothing except for a bra;
- pass the tape under the bust, measuring the girth of the body under it. The tape should fit snugly against the body;
- now draw the tape across the chest, wrapping around the most protruding points of the bust. The tape should lie freely and not squeeze anything.
Thus, we round up:
- from 67 to 72 cm corresponds to 70 cm;
- from 73 to 77 cm corresponds to 75 cm;
- from 78 to 82 cm corresponds to 80 cm;
- from 83 to 87 cm corresponds to 85 cm;
- from 88 to 92 cm corresponds to 90 cm;
- from 93 to 97 cm corresponds to 95 cm;
- from 98 to 102 cm. corresponds to 100 cm.
How to determine the size of bra cups
It is not enough to measure only the girth, the volume of the bust is also important. With a poorly fitting bra, your bust can hang out in it or stick out, which will not look too beautiful.
To obtain the parameters of the cups, we take the result of the girth of the chest and subtract from it the result of the girth of the body under the chest. The number obtained in centimeters will be what we need.
| The difference between underbust and bust | Breast size | Cup volume |
| 10-12 cm | 0 | AA |
| 12-13 cm | 1 | A |
| 13-15 cm | 2 | B |
| 15-17 cm | 3 | C |
| 18-20 cm | 4 | D |
| 20-22 cm | 5 | DD |
| 23-25 cm | 6 | E |
| 26-28 cm | 6+ | F |
illustrative example
Let's make your task easier and give an example of how to correctly determine the size of the chest by making all the necessary measurements.
Imagine that the girl has already measured the volume of the body under the breast, she got 80 centimeters. Half of the work is done, she can already see from the table that the appropriate size is 80.
Subtracts the first result from the second result (94-80=14) and gets a difference of 14 centimeters.
According to the table, this is the second breast size, and a difference of 14 centimeters corresponds to a cup of a B bra.
In such a simple way, the girl found out that she needed size 80B in Russian markings.
Nuances when measuring the chest
- when measuring the girth of the body, exhale and make sure that the centimeter tape is parallel to the floor;
- when measuring the girth of the bust, also make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor, and stand straight, without leaning anywhere;
- as already mentioned, it is very important to put on a bra that fits perfectly on you before measurements. It should not be big or small, should not squeeze the bust or let it hang out.
Nuances when choosing a bra
Do you think the most difficult part is over and you can safely go to the store and buy beautiful lingerie in a couple of minutes? Anyway, you may come across parallel dimensions that are worth paying attention to.
Different companies make cups of different shapes, use different fabrics, straps, and so on. Therefore, getting used to buying a certain size, you may be surprised to find out that you need a different one from some manufacturer.Difficult? Don't worry, we'll explain everything. Due to the shape of the cups or fabric, a bra with a larger than required cup, but a smaller size, can fit you perfectly. Well, or vice versa, with a cup smaller than required, but larger:
- you have a size 70B - try on 75A, it can be surprisingly comfortable and beautiful;
- you measured your bust and came to the store with the firm intention of buying a 75B bra? Try on 70C and 80A.
You should not experiment like that when ordering via the Internet, but if you buy in a store and don’t mind spending half an hour in a fitting room, then why not?
To help guys - how to visually determine the size of the chest
It is not uncommon for men to want to make a gift to their girlfriend and go to a lingerie store, intending to pick up a beautiful set. In such cases, most of them are lost in the abundance of underwear, embarrassed, or they say to the saleswoman: “my girlfriend is about the same as yours, give me the right one.” Let's be honest, choosing the right bra will be to some extent luck, but if you finally decide to buy it without a lady, then we will try to help.
The best option is to look at the label of your woman's favorite bra at home and know its label. If you forgot or still do not live together, look around for mannequins in the store - suddenly one of them has a similar size and shape of the chest.
An option for the desperate is to determine the size of the chest with your hand or by eye, and then report it to the store.
We do not recommend this method to you, but we write it for the most desperate and determined guys.A size 0 breast can be compared to a kiwi, a size 1 breast to an apple, a size 2 breast to an orange, a size 3 breast to a grapefruit, a size 4 breast to a coconut, a size 5 breast to a pineapple, and a size 6 breast to a melon.
There is also a picture that gives a definition of the size for those who have repeatedly put their hand to their chest and can easily remember the sensations.
Finally
Remember that a bra is not just a piece of underwear that is almost always hidden under clothes, but one of the most important parts of your wardrobe. An improperly selected bra will cause a lot of inconvenience to your breasts and will spoil its appearance.
On the contrary, the right one will emphasize your strengths and hide your flaws, if any. So approach the measurements and choice very responsibly, with which our tables and calculators will help you.
“There should be many good women,” says a well-known but incorrect proverb. There can be as many good women as you want, and in Hollywood there have always been and are stars with a variety of shapes. But if you are on the side of the latter in the dispute between Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, then you should be interested in our hit parade, in which we have collected the current Hollywood film and television stars with the most impressive busts.
Note that the bust size information we provide is arbitrary and not necessarily accurate at the time you read this article, as celebrity busts often change over the course of their careers thanks to personal trainers and plastic surgeons. The latter, by the way, both increase the breasts and reduce it, and we were forced to exclude several performers from the hit parade, who were previously known for their volumes, but then abandoned them. Also, there are no music stars who sometimes act in films (sorry, Mariah Carey!), And former celebrities who have retired (sorry, Lindsay Lohan!). Breasts with breasts, and professional solvency comes first for us.
20. Blake Lively. 3rd size
Rising Hollywood star Blake Lively may not yet boast a long track record, but it is full of well-known films: the teen drama "The Mascot Jeans", the collection of short films "New York, I Love You", Ben Affleck's crime drama "City of Thieves" , the unsuccessful but sensational comic book blockbuster Green Lantern, Oliver Stone's crime thriller Wanted ... And the soon-to-be-released fantasy-romantic drama The Age of Adaline, where Harrison Ford, Ellen Burstyn and Kathy Baker became the partners of the star who received the title role . Blake is also known for starring in the popular "female" series "Gossip Girl" and the fact that she married her Green Lantern partner Ryan Reynolds three years ago. At the end of last year, their daughter was born. Congrats belatedly!
19. Jennifer Lawrence. 3rd size 
Until relatively recently, only her parents and her agent knew about the existence of Jennifer Lawrence, and now she is almost the main Hollywood star. And this is not the case when a single role puts an actress on a pedestal, unable to repeat her great success. Lawrence was talked about as soon as she started playing leading roles in 2008, and since then she has been praised without interruption, wherever the star starred - in the low-budget "independent" drama "Winter's Bone", in the comic book blockbuster "X-Men: First Class ”, in the blockbuster series The Hunger Games, in the romantic tragicomedy My Boyfriend Is a Crazy, or in the criminal tragicomedy American Hustle. What interviews does she give? It seems that Lawrence could become famous due to her funny and sincere behavior on the red carpet alone. It was thanks to her frankness that we learned that the actress is embarrassed about her bust, because her breasts are asymmetrical. Well, Jennifer, this, of course, is a terrible crime against beauty, but we forgive you with pleasure!
18. Kirsten Dunst. 3rd size 
Kirsten Dunst won a Golden Globe for her performance in Interview with the Vampire when she was just beginning to transform from girl to girl, and thankfully her early fame didn't bring her the "curse of child actors" who are forgotten as soon as they stop playing elementary school kids (or little vampires). On the contrary, "Interview with the Vampire", "Little Women" and "Jumanji" became a springboard for Dunst, thanks to which the girl soared to the blockbuster heights of "Spider-Man" and made her way into prestigious art-house films like "Melancholia" by Lars von Trier.
Although Dunst's roles only occasionally require the star to emphasize her curves, she is very proud of her breasts and even seems to suffer from the fact that all the directors treat her the same way as the director of "Spider-Man 3" Sam Raimi (on the set of this tape Dunst wore an enlargement bra to flatter her curves even more.)
17. Uma Thurman. 3rd size 
Historically, Hollywood stars, regardless of gender, usually do not differ in impressive growth, and against the background of colleagues, the 180-centimeter Uma Thurman often seems like a "tower". No wonder she inspired Quentin Tarantino to create Kill Bill. When you shoot a two-part blockbuster about a woman who cuts through hordes of enemies, it's good if the main character looks menacingly dangerous even against the backdrop of a whole crowd of armed men. However, most of Thurman's famous roles required acting talent from her, and not skill with a katana: "Dangerous Liaisons", "Henry and June", "Gattaca", "Pulp Fiction", "Nymphomaniac" ...
As for the breasts of the actress, she is known not only for her size, but also for the fact that in 2007 Thurman appeared on the red carpet in London in a translucent dress that practically exposed her right breast. This scandal is still remembered as an example of the fact that risky dresses should be tried on in the brightest possible light.
16. Heather Graham. 3rd size 
"I have breasts and I'm not shy about using them!" - as if Heather Graham says to anyone who studies her erotic filmography. The list of her frank roles is so long that one wants to check whether it is worth transcribing her surname in the French manner. After all, such filmographies are usually found only in famous Parisians, who are much less embarrassed to be naked than their Hollywood counterparts. But Graham is not only not French, but also not an "erotic star". Whether she strips completely or stays in a bikini, the actress does it for dramatic or comedic scenes, not for anxious viewers. "Boogie Nights", "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me", "Kill Me Softly", "The Hangover", "Compulsion"... All these films are deservedly known far beyond what Graham did in them.
15. Amanda Seyfried. 3rd size 
How to distinguish Amanda Seyfried from many of her stellar peers? It's very simple - by the fact that most of her famous roles are in "female" films and TV shows. Whether it's her acting debut in long-running soap operas, the cult school comedy Mean Girls, the polygamous Mormon clan drama series Big Love, the musical Mamma Mia!, the arthouse drama Chloe, or the fantasy thriller Red cap." However, we also saw her in the "male" science fiction film "Time" and in the biopic about the famous pornographic actress "Lovelace".
At 19, Seyfried had an impressive fourth breast size, but her bust decreased by a size when the actress lost weight in later years.
14. Halle Berry. 3rd size 
Say what you will about Halle Berry's acting talents and the disgraceful failure of Catwoman, but no one can take away from the actress the honor of being the first black star to win an Oscar for the lead female role. Yes, the Monster's Ball award may not have been fully deserved. But what well-known prizes are given only and exclusively for contribution to the arts, without taking into account a variety of political and politically correct considerations? None. So Berry has something to be proud of in addition to her participation in the X-Men blockbuster cycle and in the Bond film Die Another Day, as well as her early roles in black cinema (in particular, in Spike Lee's romantic drama " Dengue"). Berry also boasts perhaps the most hefty bonus payout in Hollywood history for a single scene. The actress received $500,000 for exposing her perfect breasts in the crime thriller Swordfish Password. Why was the bonus so big? Because it was Berry's first screen exposure.
13. Jennifer Love Hewitt. 3rd size 
What you need to know about Jennifer Love Hewitt? First of all, in 2008 she was recognized as the sexiest woman on American television. An amazing achievement, considering that there seem to be more beauties on American TV than in Hollywood movies. And Hewitt beat them all seven years ago. Moreover, acting in the series "Ghost Whisperer", which after all was not a frank erotic show, but a relatively respectable paranormal drama. By the time The Talking One was released, the actress was already well known to American and foreign audiences thanks to her appearances in other TV series and in films like the horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, but the role of a medium has become her hallmark.
In recent years, Hewitt has worked almost exclusively in television. Officially, the actress is considered the owner of a breast of the third size, but some experts (rather, "seksperty") believe that Hewitt's impressive bust is a fourth size.
12. Angelina Jolie. 3rd size 
Angelina Jolie is in an unusual career position right now. On the one hand, she is still the undisputed superstar, and the amazing commercial success of Maleficent has demonstrated this clearly. Because it was that rare occasion when people flocked to the movies to see a certain actress in a certain role. On the other hand, "Maleficent" came out after Jolie's four-year acting break (we do not consider voicing "Kung Fu Panda 2" for a full-fledged star role), and it seems that now the continuation of her recently launched directorial career is more interesting for the star than appearing in other people's films. . In addition, in recent years, Jolie is more often discussed as a wife, mother and woman than as a Hollywood actress.
But no matter what happens to her, she's still damn attractive. Even though her breasts are now artificial. As you know, doctors recently removed Jolie from her natural "talents" in order to greatly reduce the risk of breast cancer, from which the mother and aunt of the actress died (Jolie's family on the female line is genetically predisposed to this form of cancer).
11 Salma Hayek 3rd size 
Thank God that Mexican-American star Salma Hayek looks the way she does now! Moreover, “thank God” in the previous phrase is not an expression, but an appeal. Because Hayek once admitted in an interview that she was teased at school with a “blackboard” and that one day she came to church and prayed to Jesus to send her breasts. And God helped her! And so well helped that when years later she starred in the vampire film From Dusk Till Dawn, her brief appearance as a stripper was enough to make Hayek unforgettable even for those who had not yet seen her in the main or at least in significant supporting role.
Unfortunately, her Mexican roots and the resulting limited range of possible Hollywood roles prevented her from breaking out into superstardom. But outwardly, Hayek has always been worthy of it. And her Oscar nomination for the title role in Frida was well deserved.
10. Susan Sarandon 4th size 
Surprising fact: although Susan Sarandon's filmography is chock-full of on-screen exposures, she doesn't associate with them at all. That's what dramatic talent means! The actress undresses on the screen, and the audience thinks not about her body, but about the fact that she plays with her face. So Sarandon is not one of those who breastfed his way to glory. She did this by working with brilliant directors and finding brilliant roles in outstanding scripts.
Sarandon was first nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for Louis Malle's romantic-crime film Atlantic City, and to date she has received four nominations and one statuette for her role in her then common-law husband Tim Robbins' drama Dead Man Walking. . Her natural breast size is the third, but thanks to successful plastic surgery, her breasts have increased in size and gained a better shape than could be expected from a beauty that has long been no longer young.
9. Jeri Ryan. 4th size 
If you don't watch American TV series closely and aren't interested in the Star Trek epic, you've probably never heard of the still simmering fan controversy over Jerry Ryan's appearance in Star Trek: Voyager. Introduced to the show in the fourth season, Ryan strutted around in a tight suit that accentuated her charms, and many Star Trek fans were offended by being seen as sexually obsessed teenagers who watch fantasy shows for "big boobs."
However, Ryan's character was by no means limited to her appearance, and the sarcastic cyborg Seven of Nine would have been an excellent addition to Voyager, even if she had been played by a less "gifted" actress. Hence the controversy over this production move that boosted the show's ratings and saved it from being cancelled. Both before and after Voyager, Ryan worked almost exclusively in TV.
8. Patricia Arquette. 4th size 
Good ideas in Hollywood often come in twos. In 2005, the “doubling” happened with a mystical show about a medium woman who communicates with the other world. In September, "Ghost Whisperer" with Jennifer Love Hewitt was released, and in January - "The Medium" with Patricia Arquette. In terms of sex appeal, Hewitt then bypassed her competitor, but Arquette, thanks to plastic surgery, had a slightly larger chest.
Also, Arquette boasts a more impressive cinematic record and a raft of awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe, which she won for her performance as a mother in Richard Linklater's Boyhood.
7. Katherine Heigl 4th size 
Katherine Heigl began acting as a teenager, and she first became famous throughout the world when she played the protagonist's niece in the action movie Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Before this filming, she was teased at school with a “board”, and when Katherine returned from Los Angeles to her native state of Connecticut, her classmates decided that she had plastic surgery in California - her breasts doubled! In fact, it was an ordinary female growing up.
Heigl made plastic surgery only relatively recently, and now her bust is larger than it was while working on her stellar "adult" roles in the series "Grey's Anatomy" and the romantic comedy "Knocked Up". After a series of commercial failures and behind-the-scenes scandals, the actress was forced to move from big cinema to television.
6. Katey Sagal. 5th size 
How different are TV mothers? Katey Sagal's filmography can be used to answer this question. In the 1980s and 1990s, she played a lazy and selfish mother on the sitcom Married with Children. In the early 2000s, Sagal landed the role of a "proper, responsible, middle-class mother" on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules for a Friend to My Teenage Daughter. And in recent years, she's been on fire as the matriarch of a biker gang on Sons of Anarchy. The same actress, and completely different women and mothers!
Also, her recognizable voice is known to fans of the Futurama animated show, in which Sagal voiced the main character, the one-eyed mutant Leela. Unfortunately, she had almost no film roles. But she always had an impressive chest, which is easiest to look at in the TV series Married with Children, where she almost always wore deliberately revealing outfits.
5. Hayley Atwell. 5th size 
It's good to be Captain America! Of course, this superhero has a lot of difficulties and problems. But in a difficult moment, he can always say to himself: “A girl with a fifth breast size loved me!” And this is by no means the only plus of Peggy Carter, which we saw in The First Avenger and in the series Agent Carter. She is a beauty, and an excellent student, and an athlete, and a heroic warrior ... And also a convinced feminist, which is not necessarily a plus for a woman in the 1940s.
But it seems that Steve Rogers never objected to this ... As for the performer of the role of Carter, Hayley Atwell is also a wonderful woman - a young British theater actress who has been regularly acting in films and on TV lately.
4. Kat Dennings. 5th size 
Kat Dennings once said in an interview that she dreams of playing a superhero for an eccentric director like Tim Burton. After that, she actually managed to break into two Thor series, but only as a friend of the main character, as far from superheroism as possible. Well, at least this is the best use of the girl's comedic gift, which would be wasted if Dennings played serious roles.
So she's probably resigned herself to the fact that in the coming years, her career will be built around roles like Max, the brash and witty waitress, which Dennings portrays in the sitcom 2 Broke Girls. Many of the jokes on this show play on the heroine's impressive breasts, and the actress is always ready to show them off, appearing on the red carpet in dresses with a plunging neckline. Keep it up, Kat!
3. Scarlett Johansson. 5th size 
Frankly, we weren't sure if we had the right to put Scarlett Johansson so high on this chart, since in some recent photos the actress appears with smaller breasts than we are used to seeing her. But since Johansson is now a young mother, it can be assumed that her breasts, reduced by sports exercises for action roles, will return to their usual impressive appearance. On the other hand, Johansson deserves the highest positions in the beauty charts, even when her breasts "fluctuate" down.
Because her body is perfect for any size bra. Her acting achievements, admittedly, are not so impressive, but she has a lot of popular paintings and bright characters on her account. Of the latter, of course, this is Natasha Romanoff from the Marvel movie cycle, which we have already seen in Iron Man 2, The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We'll see her again soon in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
2. Sofia Vergara. 6th size 
When Colombian Sofia Vergara grew size five breasts at the age of 13 (since then she has increased even more), the girl was so shocked that she began to dream of plastic surgery. She knew perfectly well that with such breasts they would never be taken seriously. Her mother, however, convinced Sofia that her bust was a gift from God, and since then the actress has not even allowed herself to think about breast reduction. Although, when she moved to the US, her agent advised her to "tweak" herself in order to qualify for more than overtly sexy roles.
As one would expect, Vergara did not immediately break into the stars, but when it did, her success was international. Sophia was invited to the sitcom "Modern Family", which is now considered one of the main hits of American television. And big breasts turned out to be very useful for the role of the eccentric "Latin" beauty, who entangled an elderly American.
1. Christina Hendricks. 7th size 
How to determine the winner in the competition of stars with the most impressive breasts? Very simple. It is enough to know that, according to the Association of British Plastic Surgeons, English women began to enlarge their breasts noticeably more often when the historical drama Mad Men with Christina Hendricks in one of the main roles began to be shown on TV. Moreover, the British woman politician Lynn Featherstone, during her service in the Cabinet of Ministers, said that beauties like Hendrix should be shown more often on television in order to defeat the epidemic of bulimia and other pathological manifestations of women's struggle with being overweight.
The actress herself, however, was very upset that she was being discussed as an inflatable doll, and not as a star playing a difficult dramatic role. But for women with her forms, this is, unfortunately, a common thing. Well, at least Hendrix has won several professional awards and multiple nominations for her work on Mad Men. And her stardom is certainly worth the fact that men sometimes look not in the eyes, but lower ...

Women, like men, who are indifferent to beautiful exquisite bras simply do not exist in nature. But most often, the purchase of underwear becomes a big problem, as many ladies do not know their size. When shopping, they try on bras “by eye” and only then look at whether the chosen model fits them or not.
Everything matters here: the width and fit of the straps, the volume and shape of the cups, the base itself, etc. That is why ladies spend a lot of time in lingerie stores and after that they often leave empty-handed.
Only a few decide to buy bras on the Internet, and the rest, less risky, just sit and sigh heavily, looking at this beauty. But in fact, choosing a “successful” underwear is not difficult, you just need to correctly determine your size, and we will tell you how to do this in this article.

When buying a bra, the size of the cups is also very important. To calculate it, you need to subtract the girth under the bust from the circumference of the chest at the protruding points.

In France and Spain, lingerie manufacturers use the same markings as in Russia.
In the situation with bras (bras) made in Italy, Australia, the USA and England, you will already have to use the size matching table.

When determining your cup (bra) size, be extremely careful. If they are too small, they will squeeze your chest. This is not only inconvenient, unaesthetic and unhealthy, but also highly undesirable, since few ladies will voluntarily agree to visually reduce their bust.
If the cups are too large, then your breasts will simply sink into them, and even under the clothes it will be visible that there are voids inside the bra. It looks just terrible.
That is why it is very important to correctly determine your breast size, otherwise you simply will not be able to wear a new bra. And if you want to reduce the likelihood of error in determining your correct size marking to a minimum, then you need, first of all, to carefully measure yourself, while observing all the rules for this procedure.
Measurements for determining the size of the chest
As we have already said, to determine the size of the chest according to the tables, you need to know your parameters. In this situation, it is very important to make the appropriate measurements correctly.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Wear a bra that fits you perfectly, but does not change the size of the bust up or down;
- Take a measuring tape and wrap it around the space under your bust. The centimeter needs to be pulled tight enough, since the bra should sit on you "like a glove." But be careful, and when measuring, do not pinch your body until “rollers” form. During the procedure, it is necessary to exhale air from the lungs;
- Then measure the volume of the chest at its most protruding points. Here, too, you need to pull the centimeter tight enough. If you do not do this, then the cups of the new bra will be too big for you;
- When taking measurements, place the measuring tape strictly parallel to the floor.
Having measured your parameters, you can easily calculate the desired bra size using the tables published above.
However, when trying on bras in a store, remember that if you liked a certain model, and despite the necessary size markings, it didn’t “sit down” on you, then don’t be too lazy to try on underwear a size smaller and larger. Perhaps this will help you find the right bra for you.
How can a man determine the size of a woman's breasts?
If a representative of the stronger sex wants to please his beloved woman by giving her a set of beautiful underwear, then he can try to figure out the size of her breasts on his own.
The easiest way is to look at the markings on the bra your lady is wearing.
There are also riskier options. You can, having come to the store, point out to the seller a girl with a similar figure and ask him to pick up a set of underwear.
You can also try to determine the size of the chest with your hands, showing the seller the approximate shape of the palm, as if you were holding the girl's breasts in your hand.
Bra selection rules:
- All women know how difficult it is to choose underwear that fits the figure, because it often happens that even cups of the right size do not fit the shape and disfigure the breasts. Therefore, when buying a successful bra, be sure to remember the manufacturer and size markings, and even better, save the label;
- If you are trying on underwear, then do not be too lazy to put on a sweater over the bra and see how it looks under the clothes. Remember that the seams of the bra should be thin and its shape should not be "guessed" under a blouse or turtleneck;
- Slender ladies with small breasts are advised to buy rather elegant bras with thin straps. A bra with massive elements will visually make your breasts even smaller;
- On the contrary, overweight women with a lush bust should give preference to models with a fairly wide “fit” and with massive straps that can hold the chest, or with a large number of beautifully intertwined thin straps. Otherwise, your bra will simply “slide” down;
- Check how well the space for the "bones" is stitched. If the seams in this area are poorly worked out, then the iron base for the cups can come out and rub or injure the skin;
- Please note that the bra should fit snugly on you, but not tighten, and not form "creases" under the armpits and on the sides;
When choosing underwear on the Internet, look not only at the size, but also at the fit of the cups, how close they are to each other. The distance between the mammary glands in women is different and this must also be taken into account.
Bra size is determined by two parameters - bust size and cup size.
Breast volume
Measure the girth just under the bust with a measuring tape. The nearest value in centimeters, a multiple of 5, will be the size of the bra in the Russian sizing system. If the bra has Italian, French or English size markings (depending on the manufacturer's country) - use the correspondence table:
Cup size
Measure around your bust as shown in the picture. Then calculate the difference between the volumes of the breast and under the breast. The difference in centimeters corresponds to the size of the bra cup, which can be viewed in the following table:
| difference, see | 0-9 | 10-12 | 13-15 | 16-18 | 19-22 | 23-25 | 26-28 |
| Cup size | AA | A | B | C | D | E | F |

WHAT IS AN INTERCHANGEABLE SIZE?
An interchangeable size is an equivalent replacement for the usual size. If the size calculated by the calculator does not suit you, then select other sizes from the diagram below that will also suit you.

Labeling of underwear, in particular bra size, is quite complex and sometimes not entirely clear to the fair sex itself - to those for whom this product is intended. But even if you understand it, then saying to someone “my chest is 80C”, you can confuse a person, but if you say “I have a 3rd size”, then absolutely everyone will understand, at least approximately.
But how to determine the correspondence of the numbering used in different countries and the volume of the bust in the generally accepted, so to speak, male understanding?
How to determine the size of a bra - chest?
Going to the lingerie store, you must first of all pay attention to the fact that the bra sits comfortably, does not squeeze the chest and does not hinder movement. The original design of the model is also important, but it’s still worth thinking about your own health. So, how to choose a bra, which will be both beautiful and comfortable?
The first thing to do for this is to take a centimeter tape and take 2 measurements:
- chest circumference: the measuring tape runs along the most convex points of the bust, and the measurement must be made in a well-fitting bra (not push-up);
- girth under bust: measured at the lower points of the bra, without tightening the tape too much.
Having received the results and writing them down so as not to forget, you can begin to calculate the desired value. To do this, subtract the smaller number (girth under the bust) from the larger number (bust girth).
For example, if you measured the bust at the protruding points, you got 99 cm, and the second measurement (fullness) is 85 cm, then you get 14. The range of possible options is from 10 to 23.
