How to measure bra size

Did you know that 80% of women wear the wrong bra size? The most common mistake women need to avoid is wearing a band size that's too big or a cup size that's too small. Keep in mind that cup sizes are relative to band sizes, for examples 32C is not the same as 38C. Your bra size has the ability to fluctuate as your weight changes throughout the seasons or years. Intern, many people tend to go sometime wearing the wrong size without noticing the discomfort. If you're looking for a better fit, here are a few solutions to find your true size.

Begin by measuring your bra size. With your bra on run a tape measure around your body underneath your breasts. This is commonly called your "band" measurement. Make sure the tape measure is horizontal and somewhat snug.

Round to the nearest even number measured. For example, if your band size measured 35 inches, your band size should be 36. If you measured 31.4, you band size should be 32.

 

Next measure your bust size. For this you want to measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. If you pull to tight it will give you an inaccurate measurement. If you are wearing a poorly fitting bra or no bra at all, you want to bend forward so that your back is parallel to the floor. Next, measure around your chest and over your nipples. This number should be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Now you're ready to calculate your cup size. For this you need to subtract the band size from your bust measurement.

1. 0 to 1.5 inches = A, 1.5 to 2.5 = B, 2.5 to 3.5 = C, 3.5 to 4.5 = D, 4.5 to 5.5 = DD/E, 5.5 to 6.5 = F, 6.5 to 7.5 = G, 7.5 to 8.5= H,8.5 to 9.5 = I, 9.5 to 10.5 = J,
   10.5 to 11.5 = K
2.  
   Before leaving the store try on the bra and make sure its comfortable.
3.  
   Check the band size. You should be able to run your fingers around the insides of the band.
4.  
   Check the cup size. You should fill out the cup size but not show bulging.
