Find Your Correct Bra Size

Here is how you can find your correct bra size.

While wearing a bra, wrap a tape measure


snugly around your rib cage, directly under

the bottom bra edge (see top picture at right).

The tape should be snug, but not tight.

■ Now, add 5 (for example, if you measure

29", add 5 = size 34).

■ If you measure over 33", add 3 = size 36.

If the total adds up to an odd number,

such as 37, try the next size up (size 38).

This is your bra number (32, 34, 36, etc.).

To get your cup size, measure over the fullest

part of the bust.  The difference between this

measurement and the bra number is your

cup size (see chart below):

If the difference is: Your cup size is:

Up to 1⁄2" = Nearly A Cup (NA)*

1" = A Cup

1-11⁄2" = Nearly B Cup (NB)*

2" = B Cup

2-21⁄2" = Nearly C Cup (NC)*

3" = C Cup

4" = D Cup

5" = DD Cup

6" = DDD Cup

Example: Your bra number is 36 and your bust measurement is 38.

Subtract 36 from 38 and you get a 2" difference. 2" = B cup.

Therefore, your correct bra size is 36B.
