How to Measure Bra Size?
📏 Step 1: Measure Your Band Size
Wrap a measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, just under your bust (where your bra band usually sits).
- Keep the tape level and snug.
- Round the measurement to the nearest even number (e.g., 31 → 32).
📐 Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Do this while wearing a non-padded bra or no bra for accuracy.
- Make sure the tape is not pressing into your bust.
- Round the measurement to the nearest whole number.
🔢 Step 3: Find Your Cup Size
Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference determines your cup size:
Difference (inches) | Cup Size |
---|---|
1 | A |
2 | B |
3 | C |
4 | D |
5 | DD / E |
🧮 Example
Band Size: 34 inches
Bust Size: 36 inches
Difference: 2 inches → Cup Size = B
✅ Your Size: 34B
💡 Fitting Tips
- Measure in front of a mirror for accuracy
- Don’t pull the tape too tight or leave it too loose
- Re-measure every 6 months—your size can change
