To measure for a Wonderbra bra size, you will need to start by measuring your band size. To do this, use a soft measuring tape and wrap it snugly around your ribcage just below your bust. Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and take note of the measurement in inches. Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a non-padded bra, ensuring that the measuring tape is also parallel to the floor. Take note of this measurement as well.
Once you have these measurements, subtract your band size from your bust measurement to find your cup size. For example, if your band measurement is 32 inches and your bust measurement is 36 inches, the difference would be 4 inches which correlates to a D cup size. Keep in mind that each inch difference corresponds with a different cup size (A=1 inch, B=2 inches, C=3 inches etc.).
One common misconception when measuring for a Wonderbra bra size is thinking that all bras are sized equally across different brands or styles. In reality, sizes can vary greatly depending on factors such as fabric type and style of bra (i.e. push-up vs full coverage). It’s important to always measure yourself for each specific style and brand of bra.
A less-known fact about finding the right Wonderbra bra size is that our bodies are constantly changing due to factors such as weight fluctuations or hormonal changes. This means that getting measured regularly – at least once every six months – will ensure you always have the perfect fit and support from your Wonderbra.

Measurement | Step | Recommendation |
---|---|---|
Band Size | Measure around your ribcage, just below your bust | Round to the nearest even number, add 4 inches if the measurement is even or 5 inches if it’s odd |
Bust Size | Measure around the fullest part of your bust, with your bra on | Round to the nearest inch and subtract your band size measurement, this gives your cup size |
Cup Size | Calculate the difference between your band and bust measurements | Every inch of difference represents a cup size (1 inch=A, 2 inches=B, and so on) |
Wire Placement | Measure from the center of your chest to the outside edge of your bust | Make sure the wire of the bra sits flat against your ribcage for a comfortable fit |
Strap Length | Measure from the top of your shoulder to the top of your bust | Adjust straps to ensure they are comfortable and provide adequate support |
Underbust Width | Measure the width of your ribcage under your bust | Choose a bra with a band width that matches your underbust measurement for a snug fit |
Center Front Length | Measure from the top center of your chest to the bottom of your bust | Choose a bra with a center front length that accommodates your bust size comfortably |
Side Seam Length | Measure from the armpit to the bottom of your bust | Choose a bra with a side seam length that provides adequate coverage and support |
Cup Depth | Measure from the top of your bust to the bottom | Choose a bra with a cup depth that fully encapsulates your bust without spillage |
Overall Fit | Try on the bra and assess the overall comfort and support | Make sure the bra fits snugly without digging in or causing discomfort |
