To measure your bra size, you will need a soft measuring tape.
Step 1: Measure your band size.
Wrap the measuring tape around the torso directly under your bust, where the band of your bra would sit. The tape should be snug but not too tight. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add four inches. If it’s odd, add five. Your band size is the sum of this calculation.
Step 2: Measure your bust size.
Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level around your body. Ensure that the tape isn’t too tight or too loose and without any falls or twists. Round off the number to the nearest whole number.
Step 3: Calculate your cup size.
Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference will determine your cup size.
Here is a chart of cup sizes:
| Difference | Cup Size |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | A |
| 2 inches | B |
| 3 inches | C |
| 4 inches | D |
| 5 inches | DD |
| 6 inches | E |
| 7 inches | F |
For example, if your band size is 34 and your bust size is 37, your cup size is a C.
It is important to note that bra sizes can vary from brand to brand. If you are unsure of your size, it is best to try on bras in different sizes to find the best fit. You can also ask a bra fitter for assistance.
Here are some additional tips for measuring your bra size:
- Measure your bra size at the end of the day, when your breasts are at their largest.
- Do not wear a bra when measuring your band size.
- Wear a non-padded bra when measuring your bust size.
- Stand up straight and relax your shoulders when measuring.
- Wrap the measuring tape around your torso snugly but not too tightly.
- Round to the nearest whole number when measuring.
If you are having trouble finding a bra that fits well, try shopping at a specialty bra store or online retailer that offers a variety of sizes and styles.
