Things change through life, that's a fact and that goes for your bra size as well. To find the perfect bra size right now you can easily measure with a measuring tape just before you're about to buy a new bra.

Measurement 1. Measure around your chest right under the bust.

Measurement 2. Measure the bust right where it is largest.

Do you have a small bust?

The smaller busts don't need as much support. Choose a pretty, soft bra without wire or a push-up if you want to create a nice cleavage. A moulded bra with padding gives you a curvier silhouette and if you want to give your bust a fuller look, use inserts or gel cups.

Do you have a large bust?

Remember that all bra models don't come in all sizes. A large bust needs a good support that relieves the pressure on the shoulders. So choose a well-fitting wire-bra or a balconette. A moulded bra with padding often gives the bust good support while it's very comfortable.

Does the cup not fit? The cup grows with the width. If you grow in width you may have to reduce the cup size.

More practical tips!

• For best results wash your bra by hand in order to preserve both fit and colour. If you machine-wash it on gentle cycle, use a mesh bag and fasten hooks properly to avoid scratching the bra fabric.

• Avoid bleach as it can discolour your bra. This goes for white bras as well.

• Adjust padding and the wire binding before you hang your bra to dry.

• Avoid rinsing agents when washing microfiber as it prevents the fabric from breathing properly.
