Measuring epiphanies

Measuring bras is a pain in the ass so I admit to procrastinating. (Sorry, JJ; hope this post will serve as my penance.)
However, I always learn something that explains a fit issue when I do measure a bra. For instance, when I measured the 2 Avocado bras I just got from ginganinja, I realized why they don't fit.
When I wrote my reviews right after receiving them, I noted that the overall height/tallness would preclude sizing up in the cup. Having measured them, I know why they seemed to be so full coverage: it's the length of the wires.
I guess it makes sense that a longer wire would dictate a taller cup, but having this "aha" moment will help guide my future purchases.

  • The measurements have become my best friends. Cup separation is my indicator of fit now, but like you, I didn't know until I started measuring ;-) Thanks for all the measurements you've added: you help so many of us. :-)
