How To Measure Your Bra Size

A poor fitting bra can be a very painful experience. VideoJug shows you how to measure your bra size correctly to allow maximum freedom and comfort. Never have the wrong bra measurement again!


Step 1:

Ensure an accurate measurement

Wear your best fitting bra in order to get the most accurate measurement. Make sure the cups are not too small as this will give a smaller cup size than you require.

Step 2:

Measure band size

Run a tape measure all the way around your body just underneath your breasts and take a measurement in inches. If the number is even, add 4 and if it is odd, add 5. This will give you your band size. For instance, if you measured 28 inches, your band size will be 32.

Step 3:

Calculate cup size

To find your cup size, measure around the fullest part of the bust in inches, not too tightly or the measurement will be inaccurate. Then subtract your band size from this measurement. This will help you to determine your cup size. If the bust size is less than the band size, you are an AA cup. If there is no difference between the two measurements, your cup size is A. A 1 inch difference indicates a B cup, 2 inches is a C cup, 3 is a D cup and so on. You can use this chart to find out your cup size.

minus 1 inches AA
0 inches A
1 inches B
2 inches C
3 inches D
4 inches DD
5 inches E
6 inches F

Now that you have a good idea of your true bra size, watch VideoJug's http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-choose-a-well-fitting-bra for more advice on finding the right bra for you.

this looks accurate to me! i have been wearing 38C forever, and after having lost some weight, am now 36C - time to go bra shopping! (of course, bras fit differently, so try them on !)

this method of measuring your band size doesn't work for everyone. It assumes that everyone's rib cage at the level of your breasts is exactly 4 inches bigger than the circumference below your breasts. So to confirm whether that's true for you, you should take an above-breast measurement right under your armpit. For example, if your underbust measurement is 28 (like mine) but your abovebust measurement is 30 (like mine) there's no way that your band size should be 32 since, if anything, the abovebust circumference would be bigger than the circumference of your rib cage below it, not smaller. Your band size should fall in the range of your above bust and under bust measurements.

it is HIGHLY doubtful that you will ever b -1inch on your bust. if there is no difference at all in the size, THEN you are an AA. i have been fitting bras for years now, and i also know that you do not have to add any inches to your underbust. there are many other websites that will tell you how to measure yourself CORRECTLY!

Lol I have the numbers but I don't know what they mean. I've never paid attention to bra sizes :S. I got an E size but I think it could be inaccurate because I don't have that big of a chest. :S
