How To Measure for Your First Bra

29th November 2023

When the time comes for a young girl to pick out her first bra, it can be a milestone laden with emotions – excitement tinged with a dash of confusion. After all, finding the right fit is more than a simple task; it is about comfort, support, and the beginning of a new stage in life. In the meantime, while the measuring tape might seem daunting, the process of finding that perfect first bra should be nothing short of empowering. This is where Bleuet steps in, making the process as smooth and comfortable as their renowned first bras.

The Step-by-Step Guide to Determining the Perfect Fit

The journey to finding that first bra is filled with questions. What size? Which style? How tight should it be?

Firstly, you will need a soft measuring tape. If you do not have one, any flexible material that can wrap around the body, like a part of the string (which you can then measure against a ruler), will do the trick. Start by finding the band size. Stand straight and measure snugly around your ribcage, just under where the chest starts. Make sure the tape is level and not too tight. The number of inches will be your band size. For Bleuet bras, which prioritize comfort, you will want to ensure there is enough give so you can breathe and move freely.

Next in line is the bust measurement. This time, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Again, keep the tape measure straight and level and not too restrictive. For Bleuet’s range, which includes everything from training bras to more structured teen bras, this measurement helps determine the cup size. Their size chart easily translates your measurements into the ideal bra size, ranging from eight to 24, accommodating the unique bodies of tweens and teens.

Remember, the fit of the bra is crucial. It should feel secure without digging in, with the band parallel to the floor and straps that stay in place without slipping or pressing into the shoulders. Bleuet’s bras, with their ultra-soft, dual-layer design, ensure the wearer enjoys supreme comfort without the common issues of itchy fabric or constrictive fits.

Embracing Comfort with Confidence

For those stepping into this new stage, Bleuet stands out with bras designed to tackle the typical pain points. The ultra-soft, seamless, and tag-free designs mean that their bras feel invisible once on, giving them the freedom to move without discomfort. With styles from sports to organic and even reversible bras, Bleuet ensures there is something for every activity and preference.

Moreover, the journey does not end with finding the right size.
