1. What's Your Band Size?
Put on your favorite bra and have your soft measuring tape handy. Next, take a snug measurement around your ribcage right under your bust.
Make note of the number you get and if the number is odd, round up.
2. What's Your Bust Size?
Measure your bust at the fullest part keeping the tape level. This should not be snug but just right!
Make note of the number you get and if the number is odd, round up.
3. Calculating Your Bra Size
Take your bust number minus your band number. The difference corresponds to your cup size.
EXAMPLE:
If you want to calculate your bra size on your own, here’s an example: Your bust measurement is 38 inches, and your band size is 32 inches: 38 – 32 = 6. Using the chart below, you are a DDD cup, and you will want to shop for the bra size 32DDD.
