To calculate your bra size in the US, you will need to start by taking two measurements: one around your ribcage just under your bust and another around the fullest part of your bust. Use a soft measuring tape for the most accurate results. Once you have these measurements, subtract the ribcage measurement from the bust measurement. The difference between these two numbers will help determine your cup size. For example, if the difference is 1 inch, you would wear an A cup; a 2-inch difference indicates a B cup; 3 inches for a C cup and so on.
Next, use a bra size calculator or consult with a fitting expert to find your exact band and cup size based on these measurements. Keep in mind that different brands may have slightly different sizing guidelines, so it’s important to try on bras within this range to ensure the best fit. Consider factors such as breast shape and personal preference when choosing styles.
A common misconception about bra sizing is that once you know your band and cup size, all bras in that size will fit perfectly. The truth is that not all bras are made equal – even within the same brand or style – so it’s crucial to try on multiple sizes and styles to find what works best for you.
A less-known fact about bra sizing is that weight fluctuations can affect your bra size over time. Factors such as pregnancy, hormonal changes, or simply gaining or losing weight can impact your measurements and require reassessing your bra size periodically.
