Calculate Your Bra Size
How to Measure
Wear a non-padded bra. Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
Measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. The tape should be firm but not tight.

👗 Understanding Bra Sizing
Band Size: The number (e.g., 32, 34, 36) represents the measurement around your ribcage directly under your bust. This provides the foundation and most of the support.
Cup Size: The letter (e.g., A, B, C, D) represents the volume difference between your bust measurement and band measurement. Each letter typically represents a 1-inch difference.
Sister sizes have the same cup volume but different band sizes. When you go up a band size, you should go down a cup size, and vice versa. For example: 34C = 36B = 32D (same cup volume).
This is useful if you find a bra with the right cup but the band is too tight or loose.
- Band rides up your back (band too loose)
- Straps dig into shoulders (band too loose, needs to be tighter)
- Cups overflow or create bulges (cup too small)
- Gaps in cups (cup too large)
- Center panel doesn't lie flat (cup too small)
- Underwire digs into breast tissue (cup too small or wrong shape)
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
This usually happens if: 1) You've mixed up inches and centimeters (85 inches would be 216 cm!), 2) You measured in the wrong place, or 3) The measurements were entered incorrectly. Typical band sizes range from 26-50 inches (66-127 cm). Double-check your unit selection and remeasure if needed.
You should remeasure every 6-12 months, or after significant weight changes, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. Your bra size can change throughout your life.
There's no universal standard for bra sizing. Different brands use different fit models and measurements. It's common to wear different sizes in different brands. Always try before you buy when possible.
Measure to the nearest quarter inch or half centimeter. If you're between sizes, try both. Band size should be snug but comfortable - you should be able to fit two fingers under the band.
Band sizes are similar, but cup sizes differ after D. UK uses DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, etc., while US often uses DD, DDD/F, G, H, etc. Always check the brand's size chart.
The band should be snug on the loosest hook when new (bands stretch over time). You should be able to fit two fingers under the band comfortably. 80-90% of support comes from the band, not the straps.
Not necessarily. A well-fitted wireless bra can be very supportive. The key is having the correct band and cup size. Wireless bras can be more comfortable for many people.
