Easy Tips To Measure Bust Line

If you have been following my previous blog, you will notice that 80% of women are unaware that they are wearing the wrong size bra. One of the main reasons is that they have no idea or even understand how to measure their breasts size correctly.

Once you know your accurate bra size, you'll find that bras fit much more comfortably and provide more support.

In order to measure your success with natural breast enlargement, you need to measure your breasts correctly.

Measuring Your Bust Line

Method - 1

    * Make use of a tape measure to know the measurement of the bust line.
    * Take the measurement directly on your skin. Place the inch tape on the fullest area of your area and nowhere else.
    * Flatten the tape measure by holding it tightly against your skin. Do not leave extra space to measure your bust line.
    * Make sure that you are holding the measuring tape appropriately, neither too tight nor too loose in your bust line.
    * Measure it carefully, so that you get the right size for your bra.

Method - 2

    * To determine your band size, the first step would be to put on your best fitting unpadded bra.
    * With the help of a measuring tape, gauge your size. For this, you need to put the tape around your rib cage, directly under the bust. Ensure that the tape is flat and straight against your back. Measure tightly.
    * In case the measurement has a fraction, round down if it is less than half and up if it is more than half. For instance, if your measurement is 30 and 1/4 inches, round down to 30. However, if your measurement is 30 and 1/2, round up to 31.
    * Now, add 5 inches to your rib cage measurement. If you come up with an odd number, round up to the next even number, as bras are available only in even number sizes. For instance, in case your rib cage measurement is 30 inches, adding 5 inches equals 35. You would then have to round it up to the next even number, i.e. 36. This would be your band size.
    * Now, again take the measuring tape and measure around your chest at the fullest part of the bust line. It is usually across the nipples.
    * At the time of measurement, make sure that the tape is horizontal, straight and flat all the way around your body. Round up or down to the nearest whole number. This would be the bust line measurement.
    * To determine the cup size, subtract your band size from your bust line measurement. The difference would be the cup size.

Note:
For a difference of ½ ", the cup size is AA.
For a difference of 1", the cup size is A.
For a difference of 2", the cup size is B.
For a difference of 3", the cup size is C.
For a difference of 4", the cup size is D.
For a difference of 5", the cup size is DD.
For a difference of 6", the cup size is F.
For a difference of 7", the cup size is G.
For a difference of 8", the cup size is H.

When anyone goes to the beach they usually observe several different types of swimwear girls walking around. Some have one pieces, while others have bikinis and others might wear tankinis, which are like bikinis, but instead the tops more like a tank top. Whatever the different types of swimwear girls are wearing there will always be a new style or fashion that will be chasing after. For now though there are only a few main choices.

Types Of Swimwear For Women

String Bikini
String bikini is the perfect fit for curvy hips. If you have a pear shaped body, you will be able to carry off this bathing suit effortlessly. Bikini bottoms with ties will accentuate your body shape and make you look gorgeous. The deep plunging neckline will look the best if you are blessed with a great cleavage.

Padded Bikini
Upset with your boyish figure? Do not worry, because wearing padded bikinis will give the illusion of curves. If you have small breasts or are flat on top, wearing a padded bikini with bright and cheerful patterns will give the illusion of curves and make the upper body look more feminine.

Under-wire Support
An under-wire support in the swimwear is needed for women with a heavy bust. Go for a top that is in your bra size. You can also opt for one-piece swimsuits with under-wire support, to perk you up and provide better support for your heavy bust.

The Miracle Suit
The miracle suit works great for plus-size figures. It virtually takes 10 pounds off your body, the moment you wear it. The stretchable suit accommodates your fat by compressing it. As a result, the waistline looks slimmer. This adds curve to your body shape.

Halter-Top Bikinis
Halter-top bikinis can be a good choice, if you want to flaunt a sexy cleavage. Go for the swimsuits whose top is banded around the midriff and tied in back and around the neck. Not only will this give some lift to your bust line, it will allow you to make adjustments according to your fitting as well.

NEW ORLEANS – Most of the roughly 50 abandoned dogs parading under the oaks at New Orleans City Park on Monday were bound for a pet adoption program in Virginia, but two were headed for California with their new owner, actress Pamela Anderson.

"My son was hoping we could take all 50," Anderson said before latching on to her two new charges — two small brown dogs tentatively identified by shelter officials as Chihuahua mixes. Anderson named them in honor of fellow actresses Gina Lollobrigida and Brigitte Bardot.

Anderson helped walk the dogs as part of a news conference calling attention to a program aimed at helping deal with an overflow of abandoned pets since the BP oil spill.

"We couldn't find homes for all the dogs that were being surrendered before the spill," said Bridgette Verdin of the Humane Society of Louisiana, which is working with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and several New Orleans area shelters to find homes for the dogs. Verdin said the spill, which has caused people to lose jobs and income in southeastern Louisiana, only made the existing animal adoption problems worse.

Anderson is the honorary director of PETA. The organization, based in Norfolk, Va., said in a news release that it is working with the Virginia Beach SPCA on an emergency "adopt-a-thon" to find homes for the animals, some of which were given up by people affected by the spill.

Several southeastern Louisiana animal shelters have reported a spike in the number of animals brought in since the April 20 drilling rig explosion that sent millions of gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf. In coastal St. Bernard Parish, for instance, an official reported that 117 animals were given up in June, up by 100 from the 17 reported in June 2009.

Organizers of Monday's event said shelters from the coastal parish of Plaquemines and from other parishes farther inland were represented.

NEW YORK – Don't expect to see photos of Hilarie Burton and her baby on magazine covers.

The former "One Tree Hill" star took a break from Hollywood leading up to the birth of her son with boyfriend Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

She and Morgan went public with their relationship last April at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Losers," which Morgan starred in.

Of Morgan, she says: "We're really happy, and we're a very good team. And we got very lucky that our family is what it is."

In keeping with her private ways, Burton wouldn't confirm their son's name or birth date.

She says: "I want to protect them like a mama wolf should."

Burton is in New York to film an episode arc for the USA network show, "White Collar." Her first episode airs Aug. 10 at 9 p.m. ET.

It was supposed to be one of the biggest, most mediated events in showbiz but, it seems, Lindsay Lohan was not at all warming up to the idea of having an entire world do the “walk of shame” as she was being released from Lynwood. The star was just now sprung free from prison, ushered into a van and taken to the UCLA Medical Center, where she’s to remain 3 months as per court orders, E! Online informs.

Just the other day, rumors were saying that Lindsay had already gotten together an entire team of stylists to have at hand for her release, to make sure she looked her best for the cameras. At the same time, fans and friends rallied outside Lynwood to show their support for the troubled star – and perhaps have a look at her too before being whisked away to rehab. In what is perhaps Lindsay’s most discrete act in a long time, the actress has been let go from prison and is now already in rehab – and no one even knew it.

“Lohan (and her hair extensions) managed to make it through a sojourn at Lynwood’s Century Regional Detention Facility, serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence for a probation violation in a DUI case. Lohan was sprung at 1:35 a.m. Monday, although she managed to elude dozens of camera crews outside. Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told the assembled masses that Lohan was ushered to rehab in an unmarked van. Not that she had time for teary reunions or fab photo ops...” E! writes.

“Los Angeles Superior Court Marsha Revel had ordered that Lohan report to a treatment facility within 24 hours rather than allow her time to unwind before fulfilling the part of her sentence that’s actually going to last for 90 days. ‘Per court order she has been sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center,’ Whitmore said. ‘She is now under the supervision of the L.A. County Probation Department. This concludes her custody. We are done. Thank you all for behaving. We can all go home now’,” the e-zine further says.

As we were also telling you earlier today, though initially destined for Morningside Recovery in Orange County, Lindsay’s court-ordered rehab facility turned out to be the UCLA Medical Center. There, she will receive intense counseling for a reported meth addiction and psychiatric problems, like emotional issues and bi polar disorder.

Only a few days ago, Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr was saying she could no longer honor her commitment to Australian department store David Jones because she wanted to take some time off to enjoy her honeymoon to longtime beau now turned husband Orlando Bloom. The moment this transpired into the media, speculation began about whether that was not a shotgun wedding – and it turns out that it was, the Huffington Post says.

Granted, confirmation of this is still pending, but rumors are starting to pick up that Miranda is pregnant, which explains why she and Orlando were in such a hurry to get married only one month after becoming engaged, the tabs are saying. Apparently, that the two are in love and may have wanted to tie the knot without the media knowing their every move is mysteriously out of the question. Moreover, tabs already have half-confirmation of the happy news from friends of the two stars.

“Us Weekly reports that Victoria's Secret bombshell Miranda Kerr is pregnant! Kerr, who just got married to actor Orlando Bloom in a secret ceremony last week, fueled rumors about being with child after refusing to comment on the topic. But now, a source close to Kerr told Us, ‘She’s definitely pregnant... Miranda’s thrilled,’ adding, ‘She’s telling all her friends, mostly other models, about it’,” the Post writes citing sources speaking to Us Weekly.

“Kerr did tell a Sydney newspaper, ‘I have always been very open about wanting to be a mother one day. And I’ve always thought Orlando would be a great dad. I’ve always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen.’ Maybe sooner than later! Kerr and Bloom have yet to make an official announcement,” the same media outlet further reports.

To add more fuel to the fire that is already burning bright, since returning from her honeymoon, Miranda has been photographed only in loose-fitting clothes, with items placed strategically over her tummy, like the large scarf she has in the photo attached to this article. Nevertheless, if the above is accurate and she and Orlando are, indeed, expecting their first child, confirmation should come soon, before she begins to show.
