Reader's tip: check your time of the month before remeasuring!

check your time of the month before remeasuring!As ever, we're on the case about getting properly measured for a bra - and there's a whole bunch of tricks and tips you can do to make sure your bra is suitable for your bodyshape.

Heree's another great suggestion from this month's reader's tip winner on how to make sure you get the correct measurement:
During that time of the month, breasts can sometimes swell and alter your true size. If you are bra shopping, try to hold off until later when your size will be more accurate.. Nicole Blondell.

It's also a good idea to consider the effect of hormones, possible pregnancy and weight loss or gain at different times before checking your bra size. Sometimes, it takes one or two measurements to get it right.

Try on a tight t-shirt before trying out your braWe're always going on about getting properly measured for a bra here at Brastop and there's a whole bunch of tricks and tips you can do to make sure your bra is suitable for your bodyshape.

However, here's some advice from this month's reader's tip winner on how to go a little bit further to make sure your bra looks good on you:
Try on a tight fitting t-shirt to see how your new bra looks. Then reach up and bend down to see if the cup holds the breasts adequately.. Irene Geoghegan.

Reader's tip winner for October: correct size = good posture = smile!

Don't forget to smile!Almost every girl I know can testify to the merits of finally trying on a decent, properly-fitting bra.

It makes you feel better all round, you look good - and it gives you something to be happy about.

Our winner of the Tip of the Month advises just that...

Remember that a properly fitted bra will improve your posture and can take pounds off your appearance. A really good bra boosts your confidence so you can flaunt your curves. You'll stand tall, with your shoulders back and down, tummy in, and boobs out! And don't forget to smile. Wendy Kennerley.
