BRA MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS

Try measuring in front of a mirror or with help from someone. Measure once with your bra on and once without and use the average. Most women that go to get fitted are wearing an ill-fitting bra which compresses their bust and increases their high bust. So these skewed measurements are used to find a new bra which still does not fit.

AREAS TO MEASURE:

Full Bust - measure around the fullest part of your bust over the bust points (nipples) without pulling the tape too tight.

High Bust - measure above your breasts at the underarm level.

Ribcage - measure directly under the breasts and pull the tape snug.

DETERMINING YOUR SIZE:

Band Size: subtract two inches from your high bust, or take your ribcage and add two. Round to the nearest even size like 38 or 40.

Cup Size: subtract your band size from your full bust. Every inch equals one cup; 0 = AA, 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, 5 = DD/E, 6 = DDD/F, 7 = G, 8 = H, 9 = I, 10 = J, 11 = K, L = 12, M = 13, N = 14, O = 15, etc.
