How to Measure Your Bra Size.
Almost 80% of woman wear the wrong bra size and it’s probably because most woman don’t know how to measure themself correctly. This bra sizing technique is mostly a guide on where to start finding your perfect bra, at the end of the day it all comes down to what is most comfortable for you!
Step 1: Finding Your Band Size
With a measuring tape, measure around your ribcage directly below the wire of your bra. (it is best to measure yourself with a lightly lined bra to avoid getting incorrect measurements)
Ensure the tape is at the same level on your back, sides and front.
Ribcage Measurement- 24-26 27-29″ 29-32″ 33-34″ 35-38″
Band Size Equivalent- 30 32 34 36 38
Step 2: Finding Your Cup Size
Loop the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, then up around the fullest part of your bust
Keep the tape level from end to end.
Subtract your ribcage measurement from your cup size measurement. If there is a 1″ difference, then you are measuring at an A cup.
Difference- .5″ or less 1″ 2″ 3″ 4″ 5″ 6″ 7″
Cup Size- AA A B C D DD/E DDD/F DDDD/G
Hot Tip*
Consider what row you are hooking your bra on when you first buy it. Ideally you want it to fit best on the loosest hook, so as your bra ages and stretches, you move tighter and tighter on your hooks. This keeps your bra lasting longer! *If you find you need to size down your band in order to be on the loosest hook, go up in cup size and the cup fit will be the same*
Example: 34D and 32DD are sister sizes, they have the same cup volume!
