We want to make sure you're not one of them. It's not as hard as you think to determine your bra size. There are two elements to your bra size; the band size (ie. 32, 34, 36) and cup size (ie. A, B, C). You will need a measuring tape to determine your bra size. 1. Band size: Using a soft tape-measure, measure around the ribcage directly under the bust. Be sure the tape is smooth across the back and level with the front. Add 5 to this measurement to obtain your band size. For example: If your ribcage measurement is 29" + (5) = 34" band size. If the resulting band size is an odd number like 33", you can usually go to the next even band size (34"). 2. Cup size: Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust, holding the tape measure straight but not tight. Subtract your band size from this measurement. The result would be YOUR REGULAR BRA SIZE. If the difference is less than 1 inch to 1 inch = A cup; 2 inches = B cup; 3 inches = C cup; 4 inches = D cup; 5 inches = DD cup For example: If your band size is 34" and your bust measurement is 35", you wear an "A" cup. While this method is generally reliable, every woman's figure is different and results may vary slightly. We recommend that you try several sizes and styles to find the fit that works best for you. Tips: You should take your measurements while you are wearing a non-padded underwire bra or a tight-fitting seamless T. Because standard band sizes are even numbers only, if you have an odd-numbered band size, you may need to go up or down a size depending on how you like your bra to fit. |
