|  Choosing the Correct "Soutien-Gorge" or Bra Size.
Your size is calculated in two stages.
1. Size of your chest
Measure the diameter of your rib cage just under the bust.The measuring ribbon must be well unrolled and pressed against your skin.
Add 12.5cm to this measurement.
| 2. Size of the cup
The depth of the cup is of course fundamental. Too deep and your breast would not be correctly supported. Too tight, your breast will be compressed and cause discomfort.
Measure your breast at the biggest area of your chest. Hold the measuring ribbon straight but without tightening it.
The difference between this measurement and the measurement of your chest will give you your cup size.
If the difference is of 2.5cm, the cup size is A.
If the difference is of 5.0cm, the cup size is B.
If the difference is of 7.5cm, the cup size is C.
If the difference is of 10 cm, the cup size is D.
If the difference is not a rounded number,do try the size under & the one over and adjust with the hooks&eyes.
Choosing the right "Soutien-Gorge" or Bra.
The Bra must be comfortable to wear.
Do not buy a size too small by "Coquetterie" or in hope that it will push up your breast:the result would be unflattering and unnatural.
The correct "Soutien-Gorge" must enhance your breast like a jewel.
