Women everywhere share one common complaint: the quest for that elusive perfect-fit bra will never end.
Keep the faith! We're here to help with three easy steps on how to properly measure bra size, plus helpful solutions to today's most common fit problems.
Measuring for the Perfect-Fit Bra
BAND SIZE (includes measurements such as 34, 36 and 38)
- Wearing a non-padded bra, hold a soft flexible
tape measure across your back at band level
- Bring the tape measure around to the front, just above your bust
- This number is your band size. If the number is odd,
round down to the closest even number
BUST MEASUREMENT
- Wearing a non-padded bra, hold a soft flexible
tape measure across your back at band level
- Bring the tape measure around to the front,
over the fullest part of your bust
- This number is your bust measurement. If it falls
on a half inch, round up to the next whole inch
CUP SIZE (includes measurements such as B, C, and D)
- Subtract the band size from the bust measurement.
For Example, with a bust measurement of 34" and a band size of 32", your cup size would be 34" - 32" = 2" — which is a B
- Use chart at right to find your cup size
