Many women actually do not know their proper bra size which results in a bad fit and an uncomfortable one at that. Before you go out to buy a bra, you should know your correct size. A bra that is perfectly fitted not only gives you the maximum comfort but helps you look stylish as well.
To know your correct size, you must measure yourself with your bra on tightly around the band which is below your bust and above your rib cage. Get the measurement in inches and if it is an even number add 4 but if it's an odd number add 5. For instance, if the measurement of your band is 32 then your bra size is 36 (32+4).
Your cup size is represented by a letter. To obtain your cup size you again measure yourself but this time on the bust at the fullest point. The difference between your bust measurement and your band measurement in inches will represent your cup size with a one inch difference being an A cup, 2 inches differences a B cup, 3 inches difference a C cup, 4 inches difference a D cup, 5 inches difference a DD cup and 6 inches difference a DDD or E cup.
The bra's band should not be tight but instead feels snug. The shoulder straps should not dig into your skin or fall off but instead should be comfortable on the shoulders. The straps are meant to hold up the bra. The bra's cup size is meant to support the breasts. The breasts should be held comfortably without spilling over the sides. If the breasts tend to spill over the sides or over the top, you may need a cup size larger or one with more top coverage. On the other hand, if you find that your breasts are not filling in the top of the cups, then it would be wise to go a cup size lower.
For plus size women, a plus size bra would give the best fit, comfort and support.
In addition to the size, the fabric or material of the bra should be breathable for added comfort. Silky bras though would look best under all types of fabrics. It is important that you get yourself fitted every year even if may not have gained any weight.

Before you start get everyone there to jot down their phone, email and address on a little card which you then collect in. Don't panic about selling anything at your bra party because I have never heard of a lingerie or bra party where no body has bought anything. In fact people that go to party plan events seem to feel obliged to buy. If Mrs. B buys something then Mrs. and D will feel left out or outdone if they don't pick something up too.
A few days after your bra party or even when the ordered bras arrive for delivery contact everyone on those little cards that you collected. Ask if they enjoyed the bra party and say that you are looking for some critical feed back from them. Then ask how if they would like some money for doing nothing! Who is going to refuse? But, if they do that's O.K. just move onto the next person that came to your bra party. Offer them 10% of whatever you take if they invite some friends over to their place and you will do a party there too. Then repeat the whole process at their bra party and you will have a never ending supply of bra party venues.
A bra and pantie party could also be the perfect way to meet loads of new people and make some real money along the way too. If you are outgoing and like meeting people it could develop into a full blown home lingerie business if you follow a few simple tips. So if you like the idea of a bra and pantie party read on.
There are right ways and wrong ways to build any home business. A bra and pantie party business is just that a business so it should be approached as such. By running your bra and pantie party in this way you are more likely to turn a real profit whilst having some fun at the same time.
The ingredients for a successful bra and pantie party are wine, snack food but most of all the people. Just invite the girls over to your place for a girls evening and you are set for a great bra and pantie party. Everyone will want to buy something they always do but the immediate sales are only a small part of the picture.
Before very long some of those people will realize that they can also earn from a regular bra and pantie party and join under you. This is great news because your associate network will keep expanding along with the size of your commission check. More importantly your bra and pantie party business will grow beyond your wildest expectations.
Be sure to get everyone that comes along to write their details on those pretty cards and collect them all in before you make a start. Those details are going to be the main asset in your bra and pantie party business so treat them like gold. Some time after the party contact everyone that came along then ask them if they would allow you to host another bra and panty party for friends at their own house. As sweetener offer them a percentage of whatever you take and then after distributing the cards at the next event you will have even more prospects for another party.
