How To Measure Bra Size

Introduction



Every woman desires to have the perfect fit in their bras. Yet, most women struggle to find the right-sized bra. The issue may be in finding the best bra, but it also lies in measuring the correct size. Wearing the wrong size bra can cause discomfort and even pain, affecting posture and causing back pain. To find the right size bra, you need to take careful measurements of your bust. Measuring bra size is an easy process, and it only requires a few steps. In this guide, we will look into how to measure bra size.


Step 1: Wear a non-padded bra



Before measuring your bra size, make sure you wear a non-padded bra. Wearing a padded bra will affect the measurements, and you may end up with the wrong size. It's essential to get accurate measurements for the right bra fit.


Step 2: Measure your band size



To measure your band size, wrap a tape measure around your body, creating a line under your bust. The tape measure should be snug and even on all sides. Round the measurement to the nearest whole number. If the measurement is an odd number, round it off to the nearest even number.


Step 3: Measure your bust size



Measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape measure is straight and not tight. Round up the measurement to the nearest whole number.


Step 4: Calculate your cup size



To calculate your cup size, find the difference between your bust size and your band size. Use the following size chart to determine your cup size:


Difference (inches) | Cup Size

--- | ---

0-½ | AA

½-1 | A

1-2 | B

2-3 | C

3-4 | D

4-5 | DD

5-6 | DDD/F

6-7 | DDDD/G

7-8 | H

8-9 | I


For instance, if your band size measurement is 34 inches, and your bust size measurement is 38 inches, the difference is 4 inches. According to the chart, a difference of 4 inches means that your cup size is DD.


Step 5: Try on bras in your calculated size



Now that you have your bra size measurements, it's time to try on bras in that size. Remember, different bra brands and styles can vary in fit, so it's essential to try on different bras to find the perfect fit. If the bra's band is too tight, move up in band size. If the cup is too small, move up in cup size. If the cup is too large, move down in cup size. You should also check if the bra fits correctly by sliding two fingers underneath the band. If you can't do so, the band may be too tight.


Conclusion



Measuring your bra size is crucial to finding the perfect bra fit. Make sure you wear a non-padded bra when taking measurements, and use the size chart to calculate your cup size. Remember that finding the right-sized bra requires trying out different styles and brands. So, don't be afraid to try on multiple bras before finding the perfect fit.
