How to choose the right bra that enhances the breasts
Hidden or on display, the bra accompanies us every day, on any occasion, in any season of the year. There are many types, but the only certainty we have is that it must be comfortable and comfortable, to avoid turn into our worst enemy. So how do you choose the right bra and not find underwire stuck in your ribs, braces that cut your shoulders and cups that turn out to be too big and empty? By learning to read the vocabulary, or by studying the meaning of the sizes and letters of the cups. Or we can stop only at what reveals about our personality the way we put it
How to choose cup and bra size
In Italy, bra sizes range from the first (smallest breasts) to the tenth (really large breasts). Next to this figure, a letter is often found, which corresponds to the actual size of the cup. In principle, with the size we indicate the width of the underbust band, while with the cup we refer to the size of the actual breast. As we said, in Italy the bra sizes vary from 1st to 10th, which are relatively the smallest size and the largest size. For the cups, however, we can rule as follows:
- the measurements with cup A (small breasts) correspond to a bra size which as regards the underbust is identical to the B, while the cup is the same as that of the lower measurement (for example a third A corresponds exactly to the measurement that is normally provided as third as regards the underbust band, while the cup is as large as that of the second size with cup B);
- the measures characterized by cup B correspond to an average breast, representing "normality" for that measure (for example a third B corresponds exactly to the measure that is normally given as a third, both as regards the underbust band and as regards the cup);
- the measurements with cup C (large breasts) correspond to a bra size that as regards the underbust is identical to the B, while the cup is the same as that of the upper measurement (for example a third C corresponds exactly to the measurement that is normally provided as third as regards the underbust band, while the cup is as large as that of the fourth size with cup B);
- cup D will correspond to that of two higher sizes and so on.

Some tricks to choose the right and comfortable bra
Avoid very elastic materials such as Lycra and elastane: they are comfortable but do not support well. The suspenders must not cut the shoulders. Indeed, if they give you problems, once you have adjusted them, fix them by giving us a point. Underwire should never be a nuisance. If this happens, the bra is probably not of quality.
