proper bra measurement question
I just noticed that the bras I put up might have the wrong cup separation measurement.
I saw the picture in the how to measure it, it was from the outside. I figured it would be more accurate if it was from the inside of the bra. Since this is where your breasts are actually sitting and the side of the cups can't be obscured by a bit of fabric. My thought could be completely wrong, don't know.
I looked through two dozen bras of different brands and sizes and they were measured between 2 and 2.5 cm by people. Most of the ones I measured myself are over 2.5 cm. I had a look and measured the same bras both as pictured (outside) and also my inside measurement, some of the bras were different by as much as 1cm.
Thanks for your help and if you feel up to it, possibly check my other measurements to see if they seem reasonable or not. Feel free to PM if you want.

The photo in the cup separation section of the measuring guide shows the inside of the bra, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. The gore should be measured from the inside of the bra, at the narrowest point (which should be at the top), including the wire channels.
Oh gosh kohakuriver , you are right. For some reason I thought that was the outside of the bra. Maybe the nude colors or something. But still I'm not completely sure if my measurements are within reason since the two dozen bras I looked at were all 2cm to 2.5cm while I'm getting 4cm, 3.8cm, 3.2cm.... Thanks for your reply
