To calculate your bra size in inches, you will need to take two measurements: the band size and the cup size. First, measure around your ribcage just under your bust using a flexible measuring tape. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight and round to the nearest whole number in inches. This measurement will give you your band size. Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust at nipple level and round to the nearest whole number in inches. Then, subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement to find your cup size. For every inch of difference, you increase by one cup size (i.e. 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, 3 inches = C cup, and so on).
Common misconception is that bra sizes are consistent across all brands and styles. The actual truth is that different brands may have variations in sizing due to differences in their design and materials used. It’s important to always try on bras before purchasing them or refer to each brand’s specific sizing chart for accuracy.
A less-known fact is that our bodies can change over time due to weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or aging which can result in a change of bra size. Knowing this can be useful because it’s essential to regularly reassessing our measurements and updating our bra wardrobe accordingly as needed.
