When you measure your bust and under the bust you get an incorrect bra size why?

Women's bodies are not always perfect and bra sizes go by standard sizes. To find the best fitting bra, you would:
- measure the circumference of the chest wall; lift the breasts so the tape measure sits right below the breast tissue, and
- measure the circumference by putting the tape measure at an even level around the back and directly on top of your nipples.
Note: Some women have asymmetrical or lopsided breasts, one slightly bigger in the cup.
You might want to be professionally fitted at a bra shop, then use those measurements to buy Bras at your preferred store.

What size bras for twelve year olds?
Rather than guessing at the size, get a tape measure. You will take two measurements. First measure under the bust over the ribcage. This figure is the band size. Next measure the widest part of the bust. The difference in these two measurements is the cup size. If it is two inches or less, then go buy a stretch bra in the band size. More than two inches becomes cup sizes. For a complete sizing tutorial go to www.OneHanesPlace.com.
