To accurately measure your bra size, you will need a measuring tape and a mirror. Here are the steps:

  1. Measure around your ribs or chest, just under your breasts and across your back. Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor.
  2. Record this measurement in inches. This is your band size.
  3. While standing up straight, measure around the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure the measuring tape is level across your breasts and parallel to the floor.
  4. Record this measurement in inches. This is your cup size.
  5. Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. The difference will correspond to your cup size:
    • 0-1 inch difference = A cup
    • 1-2 inch difference = B cup
    • 2-3 inch difference = C cup
    • 3-4 inch difference = D cup
    • 4+ inch difference = DD/DDD/etc.

For example, if your underbust measures 32 inches and your bust measures 35 inches, the difference is 3 inches. So your bra size would be 32C.

Try on bras in your measured size for the best fit. Adjust the cup or band size as needed for comfort.
