What's Her Size?

If you found yourself here, props to you. You want to get your lady something sexy from your favorite Lingerie place but need to figure out her size first. You're a good partner. You deserve a high five.

Figuring out your lady's size can be difficult. (It's difficult for women too, so...this'll be fun.) You can't just go through her laundry and read the tags because Lingerie doesn't go by regular sizes, and asking takes the excitement out of the surprise.

So you have two options: 1. Ask her for her measurements but stay sneaky about what she's getting, or 2. Stick around here and let us tell you how to be sneaky.

Step 1. Boob Math

Just like when women have to do ten different equations to get their bra size, you have to do some math to figure out her bust size. Only it's reverse bra size math so it'll be interesting.

Let's break down how to get a bra size real quick:

First she measures under the breasts to get her band size, let's say it's 36 inches. Then she measures across the fullest part of her bust for her bust measurement, we'll call it 38. Finally, it's cup size math. Every extra inch equals one cup size up. (Two inch difference is a B cup, three is a C cup, etc.) So 38 - 36 = 2, so her bra size is 36B.

Now to get your lady's bust measurement, we gotta do it backwards. Check the tag in the bras she wears the most often. If she's a 36B, do the math! Her cup size is a B, so her bust is at least two inches bigger than her band, which is 36. Her bust size is at least 38.

One down, two to go!

Step 2. Don't Waist Time

Check her closet for dresses that have a structured waist or natural waist. The waist can be found a few inches beneath the bust area. Sometimes it's easy and has a sewn in band that's easily identifiable, or you can lay the dress flat and see where the dress curves inward.

Now that you know where the waist is, lay it completely flat on a flat surface. Read that again. A FLAT SURFACE. Not being flat can seriously screw up your measurement.

Get a soft tape measure and measure across the front of the dress. That number will then be doubled to get her waist measurement. So if you get 13.5 inches, you can double that to get at least a 27 inch waist.

You're almost done!

Step 3. Hip Hips Hooray

Similar to measuring for her waist, grab a pair of her jeans. Zip and button them up and lay them on a completely flat surface.

With a soft tape measure, measure across the hip area. This is typically 1.5 inches below the bottom of the zipper, not near the top of the jeans! Double it to get the hip measurement.

You get the math by now, right?

Step 4. Buy the Lingerie

Now that you have all of her measurements you can easily peruse Yandy.com for whatever sexy Lingerie you desire!

ALWAYS check the size charts! We carry a lot of different brands and the measurements can really vary. If you're unsure if your measurements are correct, go up an inch or two. It's much better to gift Lingerie that's a little loose than Lingerie she can't even put on. That's a mood killer.
