To find your bra size, you need to use a tape measure to determine your band size and your cup size. With these measurements, you be able to select the right bra size.

First, measure your band size by placing the tape measure underneath your arms and around the top of your chest. If the measurement is an even number, like 40, that is your band size and if the number is odd, add one inch to make it even. For your cup size, this is the largest amount you can full up the bra without any space in the cups or bulges. With most bras, the cup size is relevant to the band size.

Step2: TYPES OF BRAS

There are many different types of bras available to meet your specific needs. For example, if you are wearing a low neck sweater, you may want to consider a seamless-plunge style bra. If you are going jogging, you will want a sports bra. If you are full-figured, you will want a full-support bra. You can go online jcpenney.com, for instance, and look at a full collection of bra styles for every occasion.

Push-Up: These bras help to lift and fill-out your bust, creating cleavage.

Plus-Size: These bras now come in more styles and colors than ever before and offer support and comfort for full-figured women.

Sports-bras: These protective bras help guard the delicate breast tissue from too much movement during vigorous exercise.

Sexy-bras: These lacy bras are for those special occasions. This style is from Victoria's Secret. Where else?!

Shades: Bras now come in a variety of colors, thanks to places like Victoria's Secret and Fredericks of Hollywood. Black or White bras make it easier to find matching panties. Nude or Flesh-tone bras and panties are "invisible" underneath white, pastel or sheer clothing. Thanks to microfiber, some bra styles are "seamless" under fitted tops.

Remember, the most important thing about any bra, is that it fits you comfortably and it does what it's supposed to do. You may need to try on several styles before you find one you really like (and then they'll discontinue it!) But nothing beats a great fitting and looking bra to boost your ego and your bust, so have fun!
