Are you wearing the right bra size?

Posted: 04 Apr 2013 12:38 PM PDT


A century after the invention of the bra, most women are still wearing the wrong size. Here's how to get the perfect fit.

A bra that doesn't fit well can spoil the look of the most expensive dress in your wardrobe.

3 Simple steps to the perfect fit

1. Throw away your measure tapes
Measuring your bust is not the key to getting a great fit. Stand by the mirror and start by taking a look at how your bra fits you and then consider whether you need to adjust your back size or cup size following steps 2 and 3.

2. Find the right back size (28-40)
The back size relates to how the bra fits around your body. The band around your body provides most of the support, so it should be firm but comfortable. It should be horizontal and not ride up at the back at all. If it is loose, or it rides up at the back, try a smaller back size (but remember to increase your cup size). Your bra will stretch with wash and wear, so we recommend a new bra that fits you when fastened on the loosest (outside) hook.

3. Find the right cup size (D-L)
The cup size relates to the volume of your breasts. The wires at the front should lie flat against your rib cage and should not dig in, rub or poke out at the front. Your breasts should be enclosed in the cups and you should have a smooth line where the fabric at the top of the cup ends and meets your bust. You shouldn't have any ridge or bulging over the top or sides of the cups, even if you are wearing a balconette style or lower cut shape.

Why you should choose a well-fitted bra
When your bra back or cup size are right, you will get great support that will give your upper body a good shape and protect your neck, shoulder and back muscles

7 Classic bra faux pas

The Quadraboob

Q: Are your breasts spilling over the cups?
A: The cup size of your bra is too small. You could try a bigger cup size.

The Superdrooper
Q: Do you feel your breasts aren't getting the support they deserve?

The Ledge
Q: Does your bra give you over
uplift transforming your breasts into something that resembles a shelf?
A: It's likely the bra cups and back size are too small. Try a size bigger.

The side boob
Q: Are the wires in the side of your bra cup sitting on your breast rather than your ribcage?
A: It's likely that the cup size is too small. Try a cup size bigger.

The big stand off
Q: Does the front of your bra not sit flat on your sternum or breastbone?
A: The back size of your bra is too big. Try going down a size.

The high rider
Q: Is the back of the bra riding up?

I am okay with kissing scenes: Ayushmann Khurana

Ayushmann Khurana on his connect with the city and why he doesn't mind doing intimate scenes...

Do you feel your resolve to sing in every film will be good for you?
If someone has the talent then why should he not sing? Yes, there have been actors and playback singers in the past, but I don't go by past experience. If I did then I should not have worked with Shoojit Sircar or Rohan Sippy, because Sircar's films had not found BO success before Vicky Donor and even Rohan (Sippy)'s last film Dum Maaro Dum wasn't a hit. I have won so many awards for my singing and I can sing well, why not? Having said that, it's not mandatory that I will sing in every film. My voice is not only good for Punjabi numbers but other genres too. But I don't mind if other playback singers sing for me.

Apparently you were not happy with the promos of your flick, showing your kissing scene.
I had an issue with the promos because the scene was unnecessarily taking the beauty of the song away from the film. But I am okay with kissing scenes. Which new actor is not kissing on screen today? Films require realistic scenes and if a particular scene requires some kind of intimacy then I am not averse to them.

Meaningful films are doing well of late. Will it be a challenge to do meaningful roles, yet be commercially successful?
There is no challenge in a 90 crore film doing well at the BO and registering a 100 crore collection. The challenge is in doing a small film which has a good run at the BO. Then it means that the script is strong and you didn't require expensive locales and big stars to sell the film. After Vicky Donor, the expectations are high but I will continue to do roles that I can relate to.

It was rumoured that after Vicky Donor, you didn't want to work with small actresses. Now you have a three film contract with a big production house. Many say success has gone to your head.
I am working with two newcomers in my next film. Success can't go to my head because I have had very humble beginnings. I still anchor TV shows. Many say that TV actors don't go far and the kind of roles I do will not take me anywhere, but I don't let such negativity affect me. I am trying my hand at acting and singing and if that doesn't work I can always go back to anchoring, do radio or theater.

You lived in Ahmedabad for two months. Did you enjoy your stay?
Yes, I did a course in MICA. I feel Ahmedabad is a very interesting city with great people. I have been here many times now and enjoy being here.
