First, you will need a flexible measuring tape. Begin by measuring around the ribcage just underneath the bust, making sure the tape is snug and parallel to the ground. This will give us your band size. Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a non-padded bra, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Take note of this measurement for your cup size. Subtract your band size from your bust measurement to determine your cup size based on our sizing chart: 1 inch difference for an A cup, 2 inches for a B cup, 3 inches for a C cup, 4 inches for a D cup and so on.
It is important to keep in mind that each brand may have slightly different sizing charts and fits, so it’s always best to try on multiple sizes within that range to ensure a perfect fit. Our trained staff can also assist you with fittings as well as providing recommendations based on body shape and style preference.
A common misconception is that all bras labeled with the same size will fit consistently across brands or styles – this is not true. Different styles (such as full coverage vs demi) or materials (such as lace vs satin) can affect how each bra fits individually. It’s important to know that finding the right bra size often involves trying various styles within your determined size range.
An interesting fact about bra sizing is that most women are actually wearing the wrong bra size without even realizing it. This can lead to discomfort and lack of support which affects posture and overall comfort throughout daily activities. Knowing how to measure properly can help alleviate these issues and provide both physical comfort and confidence in one’s appearance.
