So grab a tape measure, find your most comfortable fitting bra (and put it on) and follow the steps below.How To Determine Your Correct Bra Size:STEP #1. Measure Your Band Size. With your bra on, measure in inches just under your breasts around your rib cage at your bra line. Ensure the tape measure is lying flat against your body and is parallel to the floor. Round that measurement to the nearest whole number. This number will give you your band size.STEP #2. Measure Your Bust. With your bra on, measure in inches across the fullest part of your bust. Again, ensure that the tape measure is lying flat against your body and is parallel with the floor. Round that measurement to the nearest whole number. STEP #3. Calculate Your Cup Size* Subtract your band size measurement (from step #1) from your bust size measurement (from step #2). This number will give you your cup size. A difference of 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, 3 inches = C cup, and so on.
Now that you know your correct bra size, go find your perfect fitting bra!
