Measuring Your Bra Size

There are two stages to measuring your bra size. First of all you measure under your bust to find your bust size and what's called your "bra band" measurement. Then you have to determine your cup size to get the perfectly fitting bra.

To find your bra band measurement

– measuring in centimetres and using a soft tape measure, measure your rib cage immediately under your bust. Make sure you are wearing a non-padded bra when you do this and it might be useful to get someone to help you with the measuring. The tape should be held quite firmly but should not feel uncomfortable. The bra chart below will convert your band measurement into your bra size. Remember that all brands will vary slightly so make sure you try on a variety of bras to ensure you get the best fit.

Now, to find your cup size

– measuring in centimetres, measure around the fullest part of your bust making sure that the tape measure is level at the front and back. The tape should be held quite firmly but should not feel uncomfortable. You can now check your cup size using the bra size chart below as a guide. This will give you an approximate idea of your bra size but it is worth trying on a choice of sizes and styles to ensure you get the best fit.
