It goes without saying that a perfectly fitted bra gives you maximum comfort and helps you look stylish best. But how to find what you really need when you have to choose between so many sizes, shapes and colors? Good news,ladies! Here are some quick tips to help you in your quest:

First thing you need to do is measure yourself with your bra on tightly
around the top of the rib cage just beneath the bust. If it’s an odd number
of inches, add 5 to find your bra size; if it’s even, add 4 (so if you measure
31, your bra size is 36).

To figure out your cup size, measure around yourself again, but this time
place the tape measure loosely over the fullest part of the breast. Subtract
the first measurement from the second. A 1-inch difference is an A cup; 2-inch
difference = B cup; 3 = C; 4 = D; 5 = DD; and 6 = DDD or E.

Cups should hug your breasts and be full while hugging the outer edges
of the breast. If your breasts spill out from the sides or over the top of
the cups, you may need a larger cup size or a cup with more coverage on the
sides or top.
The straps should not fall down nor cut into your skin. If they fall down,
your breasts may not be filling out the top of the cups and you should go
down a cup size. If they leave a mark, you certainly need a more supportive bra.
And now some style tips:

Smooth, silky bras look best under all fabrics.
Match bras to your skin tone, not to the color of the shirt you’re wearing.
And even if your weight doesn’t change, get fitted every year. [source:www.amplepleasure.com]
