For 50% of the world’s population, there is one piece of garment that defines power like no other \u2013 the bra. You wear it to feel comfortable and powerful. A good bra is enough to transform a woman from a meek girl next door to the ultimate boss lady! But, as much as women love it, getting the right fit is a challenge in itself.<\/p>\n

So, if you are wearing one right now (unless you are at home and haven’t seen them in ages!), there is a good chance that the fit is not correct. Almost 80% of women do not always get the right size or even know what the right sister sizing<\/strong> for them is!<\/p>\n

But, let’s be clear on one thing, whether to wear a bra or not is up to you and it’s perfectly fine to go either way (much love to bralessness<\/em>!) but wearing the wrong size and fit is NOT OK. Wrong sizes and incorrect fits can cause more drama in your life than you probably want from a pair of bras.<\/p>\n

So, to save you from the horrors of haggling with the fitting lady at your bra store, here\u2019s everything you need to know about bra sizing, sister sizing<\/strong> and why you should get the right fit. Happy reading!<\/p>\n

Sister sizing<\/strong> for a bra is a group of bra sizes that fall within the same group based on the cup volume! Confused? Well, read on to understand this better. If you know anything about buying bras, you probably already know about two parameters (a number and a letter) that make a bra size – the band size and the cup size. The band size is pretty straightforward, the size of the band that goes around your chest. The cup size denotes the volume of the cup and is the measure of how much breast tissue it holds. This cup volume changes with band sizes.<\/p>\n
