![]() Women with very little natural tissue and whose breasts are mostly implant will find that these measurements are very close to each other. Comparing the two will give an idea of your soft tissue and how it is placed in the breast. These two measurements tell a few things. A stretchy 28 in one brand may be ideal while a very firm 32 may be perfect in another brand. She will want a firm fit for support, but she needs room for her ribs and lungs to expand. Sounds like a big range – that is 3 sizes. This lady would want to look at band sizes in the range of 28-32. Hypothetical example- firm ribcage measurement of 28in, BTT measurement of 27in, inhaled measurement of 31in. The inhaled measurement can tell how much stretch you need. Soft tissue is compressible, so some women with more soft tissue prefer a tighter or wider band. The BTT measure will tell how much soft tissue there is over your ribs. Your firm ribcage measurement is often used as a starting band size. Different companies size differently, different bodies wear bras differently, and different personal preferences will dictate what each woman wants their bra to feel like. The rib cage measurements tell us about band size. Now, what do these measurements tell us? They tell us a lot! Like before, your fullest point may or may not be your nipple. To take this measurement you will want to measure from the furthest point of your sideboob or the edge of your implant, across the fullest part of your breast, to your cleavage. Like the fullest bust measurement, you may need to use a bra for the standing measurement if you have a lot of natural breast tissue. You may have to do each breast to find which is larger. Our final measurement set will be the perimeter of your largest breast. Some women will have both measurements exactly the same, others have several inches different. Any and all breast tissue that may not be caught by that first measurement will be caught by this one. This is like simulating a really good swoop and scoop. Our second measurement will be the same, but you’ll lean forward so you are bent at the waist, body at a 90 degree angle. Many of us augmented ladies are more self supporting, so you may not need a bra. For breasts with natural hang, in your best fitting bra may be best. Every woman is different, so the fullest portion of the bust can be higher or lower than the nipple. It is important that your tape stays level around your body here, so keep that friend or mirror handy! You’ll take this measurement around the fullest part of your bust, not necessarily at the nipple but wherever is fullest. Our next measurement set will be the fullest bust measurement. All of these are useful! More on that in a bit. Then there are variations of a loose measurement, up to an measurement while completely inhaled. There is a firm measure, which is a firm measurement around your body but no tighter than what you’d want your bra band to be. There is the BTT (break the tape) measurement, which literally has you pulling as tightly around the body as you can after exhaling. The big debate in bra fitting circles is exactly how to take this measurement. This is where your mirror or friend will be helpful. This measurement should be level around your body, no dropping to your waist or up your back. This measurement is taken just under the breasts, around the rib cage where your bra band sits. You are going to take a set of underbust measurements. Your first measurement is where you’ll need your friend or mirror the most. Make sure it is someone you are comfortable with, in most cases these measurements are taken with no bra. ![]() Let’s start with the basic measurements! You’ll need a fabric tape measure, a mirror, and someone to help you if possible. ![]() After years of helping other women with implants find a good fit I have gathered some patterns to help you get started. Measuring is just that, a starting point. Luckily, there are ways that you can try to help get a better idea for a starting point. However, once you have breast implants, the math may not always come close at all. It’s a starting point a best guess on the cup size volume your breasts will fill. ![]() Usually it is based on a simple set of math equations. There are a multitude of ways you can measure for a bra and most companies will provide their own guide.
