How to Determine Bra Size from Measurements?

Measure the band size by wrapping a tape measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust

Round the underbust measurement to the nearest whole number

If using US sizing, add 4 inches to an even measurement or 5 inches to an odd measurement to estimate band size

If using UK sizing, round the underbust measurement to the nearest even number for band size

Measure the bust size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust

Keep the tape level and not too tight

Subtract the band measurement from the bust measurement

Use the difference to determine cup size

1 inch difference = A cup

2 inches difference = B cup

3 inches difference = C cup

4 inches difference = D cup

5 inches difference = DD or E cup

6 inches difference = DDD or F cup

7 inches difference = G cup

Combine the band size and cup size to get your bra size

Example: 34-inch band and 37-inch bust = 34C

Try on nearby sizes if the fit is not comfortable or supportive

Check that the band sits level, the cups fully contain the bust, and the straps do not dig in
