3. Pour legumes from bra cup into measuring cup, record volume, include in ad.
4. Buyer does same with own well-fitting bra to determine whether it's a match.

Voila! An accurate, reproducible, even metric-convertible volume measurement. Circumvents variations in cup-size definitions across manufacturers, bra styles, and international borders. Doesn't tell you a thing about cup shape, of course, but pictures help with that.

So what do you think, ladies? Wanna start a boobie revolution?

Let's do it !!!! - though you'd have to say which legume you did it with. can we all get hold of french lentils ?
