class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After almost three months of restrictions, shoppers in England will be finally able to try on jeans, bras, suits and other items of clothing requiring the perfect fit from April 12. Under government guidance, fitting rooms will require regular cleaning when they return to public use.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Ann_Summers_do_bra_fittings\"><\/span>Do Ann Summers do bra fittings?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>* Confidence that you are in the hands of a credible certified expert. Myself and my team of Ambassadors are all fully trained &#038; certified Bra-Fit experts and alongside our original Ann Summers parties that you all know and love we now offer exclusive Bra-Fit parties.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_balcony_bra\"><\/span>What is a balcony bra?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A balcony bra is a popular everyday style with a low cut that still provides good coverage and is also known as balconette bra. The wires form a half circle and enclose the lower part of your chest, resulting in a modest cleavage. The balcony bra works for every type of breast and works with every type of clothing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_add_4_inches_to_your_band_size\"><\/span>Why do you add 4 inches to your band size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Bra band size When bra sizes were first conceived in the 1930s, the materials used for bras were a lot stiffer and less flexible \u2013 women were only just out of corsets \u2013 so manufacturers used to recommend adding 4 inches to your actual size to get the correct band size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_measure_your_bra_cup_size_at_home\"><\/span>How do you measure your bra cup size at home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Easy, right? To measure your cup size, wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, and write down the measurement to the nearest whole number. We hope you like maths! Now subtract your calculated band size from step one (e.g. 34) from the bust measurement you&#8217;ve just done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_American_bra_sizes_work\"><\/span>How do American bra sizes work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Bra sizes are based on your band size (the number) and your cup size (the letter). These measurements are usually determined by using a tape measure around your rib cage and bust. The number\/letter is your bra size. &#8230; So, whether you&#8217;re a 32AA, a 58K or somewhere in between, you&#8217;ll find the right bra size at Macy&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_my_bra_leave_marks\"><\/span>Should my bra leave marks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Red marks from your bra are quite normal when you have just bought a new bra. If your bra fits properly it should be quite snug and supportive so of course your body needs time to adjust. For the first few wears you may notice some markings from the band or under the cup but it&#8217;s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_should_you_check_your_bra_size\"><\/span>How often should you check your bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>How often should you measure bra size? As a general rule, aim to have an in-store bra fitting or to measure your bust at home every six months. If you have lost or gained weight, or your bras have become uncomfortable, you can always do this more regularly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_important_to_wear_the_right_bra_size\"><\/span>Why is it important to wear the right bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Proper-fitting bras can help women feel more confident, reduce premature breast sagging, reduce the deep creases and bulges around the chest, and prevent issues in the future. Research has shown that the majority of women are wearing the wrong bra size, which can lead to a variety of problems.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_cup_size_is_bigger_A_or_B\"><\/span>Which cup size is bigger A or B?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a chart of standard size differences and how they equate to cup sizes: If your bust size is less than 1 inch bigger than your band size, you&#8217;re a cup size AA. 1-inch difference = A. 2-inch difference = B.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_bra_straps_keep_slipping_off_shoulders\"><\/span>Why do bra straps keep slipping off shoulders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>This could just mean that your bra straps need adjusting or you are wearing the wrong size bra. If your bra straps slip off your shoulders then the straps could be too loose, the cup size could be too small and the back size too big.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_undress_at_bra_fitting\"><\/span>Do I need to undress at bra fitting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can keep your clothes on. Most bra fitters can accurately measure your size on top of your clothes. Some stores may ask you to only wear a bra while they measure you, but few will ask you to completely undress above the waist.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_bra_sizes_changing\"><\/span>Are bra sizes changing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Adding to consumer confusion is that fact that bra companies have evolved toward vanity sizing over time, and individual woman&#8217;s breast and band sizes tend to vary through life as they gain or lose weight, become pregnant, or age.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Zara_fitting_rooms_open_UK\"><\/span>Are Zara fitting rooms open UK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The high street chain said: \u201cOur store fitting rooms across the UK are open again. \u201cWe have clear guidance for all our staff members in all locations to maintain COVID-19 safety to the highest standard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_Ann_Summers_measure_bra_size_UK\"><\/span>How do Ann Summers measure bra size UK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Begin by measuring from your sternum around your ribcage, where your band normally sits. Remember UK bra measurements are in inches. 2. The next stage is to measure from the nipple round to the centre back, round the two measurements to the nearest whole number.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The contact-free offering will be run by M&#038;S&#8217;s team of lingerie experts and the consultations will include the following: Contact-free measurement (colleagues will show customers how to take their own underband measurements accurately with a sterilised tape measure and will assess cup size \u2013 all from a social distance) Additionally, can I try bra on &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
