How do you measure yourself to choose the perfect underwear?

When asked “how to measure up?” we have one answer: precisely! Precision in measurement is a guarantee of well-fitting clothes, which is, after all, what we expect from our wardrobe. Things can be loose or fitted - in either case, the result must be exquisite. One of the essential parts of our daily wardrobe is underwear - how do we measure ourselves to get the perfect fit? Are size charts helpful in choosing the perfect underwear? How do you choose a bra size and select comfortable briefs? We will try to answer these and other questions in today's post.

Selection of underwear

Imagine that we need new shoes. We want to make the best possible choice for us. First of all, we buy the product with our eyes - this is quite normal, we choose what meets our aesthetic requirements. Once we have the right model, it is time to try on the shoes. Undoubtedly, they should be comfortable, and those that do not meet this aspect will be put back on the shop shelf, and we will return to the search for the right pair. In our opinion, underwear is the most important part of our wardrobe and should be chosen with the same, if not more, care and precision. Each of us is special and unique. We may wear similar sizes, but well-chosen underwear should take into account every millimetre of our body with the greatest care. Size charts often differ from one lingerie shop to another, creating confusion in the minds of female customers. The best way to choose lingerie for yourself is to know your exact measurements.

It is also crucial to get to know your body and its shapes well. Not every lingerie will be a good choice for every body type. We will answer your question in detail, how to choose underwear according to your figure, to accentuate your assets and hide your weaknesses.

How do you measure up so you don't make a mistake?

Let's start with bra: to measure up well it is best to wear soft bra. In the thicker ones, we will not get precise information about our dimensions. Let's prepare tailor's meter, and something to write on. Measuring the right bra size starts with girth under bust line, Then note the centimetres shown by the metre at the centre of our bust. With these parameters in hand, we are already well on our way in choosing the perfect bra. 

The next step is to measure your circuit at the narrowest point waistline - As before, note your measurements. 

There is probably nothing more important in our daily clothing routine than a well-chosen briefs. In order to choose their size perfectly, we should measure the circumference of your hips. To do this, stand up straight and record the value that the metre shows in the widest placesAt our hips. Roughly in the middle of the buttocks. All values should be transferred to paper with millimetre accuracy.

If we need to find the perfect body, we should measure in addition trunk length. To do this, we determine the number of centimetres from the centre edge of the bra to the end of our crotch. Remember: do not wrap the tape measure around the crotch.

Are size charts helpful?

Size tables available in shops are universal. Instead, each of us is different and unique in our own way - a thing that, of course, does not only apply to clothing. Life shows us at every turn that we are different and need personalised solutions. 

Returning to the subject of wardrobe, underwear is the part of it where there should be no room for compromise. It is our second skin and is the part that most determines whether we feel comfortable during the day. Or whether our thoughts will be distracted by the inconvenience of being uncomfortable.

Properly calculating our bra size, precisely measuring our body circumferences - hips, waist, under bust circumference - is half the battle. Once we know our exact measurements, the question arises as to where we can find lingerie that will fit them.
