Bra Measuring Instructions and Sizing ...
In order for a bra to fit properly it is essential to choose the right size. Research shows that 70%
of all women have the wrong bra size. A poorly fitting bra is often the reason why many women
have backache and ultimatly sagging. To work out your size you need two dimensions: the
measurement around the bust and under the bust. It is the difference in cm between these two
measurements that determines the cup size. Use a standard dressmaker’s tape measure. For
best results, have someone else measure you. If between sizes, buy the larger size.
- Take a snug measurement around your rib cage, under your bust
and then add 5”. Example: 29”+ 5” = 34” (between size, so go up one) 34”
- With bra on and clothes off, take a loose measurement around the fullest part of your bust and
then add 5”.
Example: 36” + 5” = 41”
- Subtract Band Measurement (from Step 1) from Bust Measurement (from Step 2).
Example: 41 - 34 = 7”
- Use the chart below to determine your Cup Size:
Example: 7” = C Cup
If difference is: 5” 6” 7” 8” 9” 10” 11” 12” 13”
Cup Size is: A B C D DD E F FF G
4. Your bra size: 34 C
