You know how the saying goes," If you've got it, flaunt it!" So, if you've been blessed with abundance, then don't take the appeal of your breasts for granted by hoisting them in plain Jane bras! They deserve sass! They deserve sexy! They deserve to be treated to fine lace and leopard print.

It's true, the bigger your breasts are, the more difficult it is to find a bra that fits right. Sometimes the underwire pinches, or you spill a bit over the top. But never fear, there is always a solution!

First of all, let's bring out the soft tape measure and do a private fitting. In front of a mirror, measure underneath your breasts. Starting at your cleavage, pass the tape measure behind your back and around to your front. This is your band size.

Next, move the tape up to your armpits and measure above your breast. Write that number down on a piece of paper. Now, measure your breast at nipple level. Subtract the number you wrote down from the nipple-around-and-back measurement, and voila! That's your cup-size!

Also, it's good to note that along with our moods, our breast size fluctuates just a bit. The Menstrual Cycle can cause fluid retention which can enlarge breasts, for example. Regardless, like all clothes, if it doesn't fit right, return it! Several online shops, such as HipsandCurves.com, offer great customer service and return policies.
