Easily 75% of women are wearing the wrong bra for their shape. For whatever reason, your bra size will likely change with the passage of time. If your body changes, consult with a professional fitter. These guidelines will ensure a properly fitting bra.
Use these tools to help measure yourself: A cloth or flexible plastic tape measure, a mirror and a conversion chart (available at most bra stores or online).

Take off the bra you are wearing now. It may be that the fit is poor. If your bra doesn't fit well don't use that as a guide for a measurement.
By using a measurement tape you can easily find out your bust size. The tape measure should be wrapped directly under the breasts. The tape must be wrapped around your body at the same even height all the way around. The tape hanging too low, will get too large a band size, also if it is too high or too tight around your body it is possible that you will get the wrong size. Use this measurement when looking for a band size. An example; a 36 inch measurement around, might indicate a 36-inch bra band.
Measure the full part of the breasts as a part of second measuring. Here is the trickiest part, the part that truly separates a professional from an amateur fitting. Mostly there will be some variation because very few women measure exactly the right mark. The proper way to get a good measurement when you are doing it yourself at home is to measure twice and subtract the first number. The way it works it this: if you are measuring 1" then an A would be your cup size and on up, 2" equals a B, 3" would be a C and you get the picture.

Ten years back, bra fitters added four to five inches to the measurement to decide band size. When you're a size 36", they'd let you try on a size 40" or 41" bra. A number like this is very inaccurate for a lot of females. To properly fit a bra correctly having the band fit snugly around your ribcage while set on the widest hook would allow for the best fit and comfort. Along with washing and usage the bra requires tighter hooks. This is a good reason to choose a bra that is tight at the loosest hook, when buying.
Refer to the conversion chart. Sizing of bras differs in other countries. Begin with what you believe is your proper size (this is how Americans measure it). Some places deal in European sizes and so you will need to know how to convert them. The conversion chart will show you the right size. Please make a note that all the manufacturers of bra do not produce the same kind - that doesn't mean all 36B bras will fit. It is important to actually try the bras on.

Have a professional fit you, if possible. Go over to your local lingerie store or an upper class store for the best fitting. Even if the fit is imperfect, a quality merchant of intimate apparel will make the adjustments.
Constantly adjusting straps is no way to spend your day. Proper lift and fit will help you show your body to its advantage. When you've been properly fitted for a bra you should notice two things- your chest has more lift (this can create a slimming effect) plus your posture improves. With this one you need not hunch because of the short bra straps trying to lift your breasts. The key to comfort and confidence is a properly fitting bra.
