How to Measure Bra Size

How to Measure Your Bra Size

Finding the perfect bra size can be a challenge. It’s important to get the right fit so that you feel comfortable and supported. But how do you know what size is right for you? Here’s a guide on how to calculate your bra size.

Step 1: Measure Your Band Size

The first step in calculating your bra size is to measure your band size. To do this, take a measuring tape and wrap it around your rib cage, just below your bust. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. The measurement should be in inches. If the number is even, add four inches; if it’s odd, add five inches. This will give you your band size.

Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size

The next step is to measure your bust size. To do this, wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, making sure it’s parallel with the floor. Again, make sure the tape isn’t too tight or too loose and take note of the measurement in inches.

Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

Once you have both measurements, you can calculate your cup size by subtracting your band size from your bust size. Each inch difference corresponds to a different cup size as follows:

• 1 inch = A cup

• 2 inches = B cup

• 3 inches = C cup

• 4 inches = D cup

• 5 inches = DD/E cup

• 6 inches = DDD/F cup

• 7 inches = G cup

For example, if you measured a 34-inch band and a 36-inch bust, then subtracting 34 from 36 would give you a 2-inch difference which would make you an B-cup bra size (34B).

Additional Tips for Finding the Right Fit
Now that you know how to calculate your bra size, here are some additional tips for finding the perfect fit:

Try on different sizes – Don’t be afraid to try on multiple sizes until you find one that fits comfortably and provides enough support without being too tight or loose.

Adjustable straps – Look for bras with adjustable straps so that you can customize them for a better fit and more support if needed.

Check for gaps – Make sure there are no gaps between the cups or between the cups and your body when wearing a bra as this could indicate an incorrect fit or sizing issue.

Get professionally fitted – If all else fails or if you’re still unsure about what size is best for you, consider getting professionally fitted at a lingerie store or department store where they can help determine what works best for your body type and shape.

Conclusion
Calculating your bra size doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating! With these steps and tips in mind, finding the perfect fit should be easy and hassle-free!
