Do you know your bra size? Are you sure?

The fact of the matter is that the majority of women really do not know what size bra they should be wearing.

Perhaps there was a time when you were fitted by a corsettier and knew what size bra you should be wearing, but over time , for whatever reason, your size has changed and you have never gotten around to having our bust size rechecked.

Sadly not knowing what bra size you should be wearing means that you could be wearing bras that are uncomfortable, under supportive or frankly just unattractive to your body. So why not take a little time and make sure you know your bra size.

Here’s how to work out your bra size:

You will need a tape measure for this. It is preferable to use a cloth or plastic sewing-type tape measure, as you will be measuring your body and a metal tape really isn’t going to give you the right result.

The first measurement you need to take is the band area around your rib cage just below your breasts. This should be where the base of a normal bra sits.

Then measure the cup size. This is a measurement that is taken around the center of your breasts, literally around your body, coming right across your nipples.

The measurement of the band area number below your breasts is part of your bra size number. If you came up with an even number, add 4 to it. If you came up with an odd number, add 5. This is your bra size number (as in 34C or 38B)

Now you have to do a little more math. You need to subtract the band measurement from the cup measurement. For example, if your bust size was a 40 and your band size was 36, you subtract 36 from 40 and get 4 as your answer. Using the chart below that shows you are a D cup, therefore a 36D.

Less than ½ inch = AA
Up to 1 Inch = A
2 Inch = B
3 Inch = C
4 Inch = D
5 Inch = DD
6 Inch = F
7 Inch = G
8 Inch = H
9 Inch = I

See how easy it is to make sure you are wearing the right size bra.

And what a difference it makes when you are wearing the right bra, you are more comfortable, confident and your clothes hang better.

Thai fisherman pants are worn by many people who aren’t Thai fishermen because they’re unisex, the material they are made with is lightweight and extremely comfortable, and the adjustable waist makes it perfect for women who are pregnant or for anyone who needs a wide range of movement without being confined by a waistband (such as when exercising or backpacking). One size fits all, but figuring out how to tie these pants around your waist can be tricky without instructions.

Thai Fisherman Pants are one size fits all and most suitable for Yoga, Tai chi, Pilates, Maternity, Travel, Workout, Restaurant Uniform, Plays and Productions, Dance, Martial Arts, Sleep or lazing about.

Thai fisherman are nearly identical to the traditional attire of Intha males, who live on Inlay Lake of Myanmar. They are known in Burmese as Shan baun-mi.

PURCHASE the finest quality Thai Fisherman Pants, ethically produced in Ribbed Cotton, Flat Cotton or Silky Rayon from Thai Fisherman Pants “Direct from the Far Est”.

Here’s how to wear thai fisherman pants :

Put on the pants, and don’t be surprised if the waistline is huge. Hold it up so that the pant legs are at desired length.
Loosely hold one side in the middle and pull tightly the other side.
Fold in the tight side towards the center, creating an angled crease along the length of your leg.
Pull on the other side while holding the first fold in the center.
Fold to the center, creating an angled crease along the length of your other leg.
Hold the center with one hand while you use the other hand to locate one of the strings.
Pull the string across your body and hold both the string and centered folds with that same arm.
Locate the second string with your free hand.
Pull the string around the other side so that it meets the first string.
Tie the strings snugly to one side.
Fold down the excess cloth over the string. If you prefer, you can tuck some of the cloth under the knot so that you can adjust the waistline easily.
Enjoy wearing your comfortable pants!
