bra measuring guide

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to take body measurements accurately & easily.

Don't have a fabric tape measure? Use a shoelace or a pant leg to measure. Then, lay it flat & use a ruler or tape measure to get a numerical measurement.

How to measure

• Find your band size

  Wearing your best fitting bra, measure your underbust. Wrap tape measure around chest just under your bust (under bra band), make sure the tape is snug & level across your back.

  • If your underbust measurement is an odd number, add 5 to get your band size.

  • If your underbust measurement is an even number, add 4 to get your band size.

  • Example: Underbust of 29" (odd number)+5 = 34" Band Size

  • Example: Underbust of 30" (even number)+4 = 34" Band Size

• Find your cup size

  Measure your bust by wrapping tape measure around the fullest part of your bust.Be sure the tape is snug & level across your back.

  (Bust measurement)-(Band size) = (Cup size)

  Example:(Bust of 35)-(Band of 32) = 3(C Cup)

Bra sizes (band size + cup size)

Fit issues

Fit tip: 90% of your support should come from your band,which should be snug & level across your back.

• Straps slip

  Tighten straps until they sit smoothly aganist the skin.

  If you tighten the straps fully & don't feel supported, your band may be too loose.

• Straps dig in

  Loosen straps until they sit smoothly against the skin .

  If you loosen the straps & don't feel supported, your band may be too loose.

• Side overflow

  If band fits comfortably, go up a cup size. or try a different bra style.

  Example: If you usually wear a 32B, try a 32C.

• Cup overflow

  If band fits comfortably, go up a cup size,

  Example: If you usually wear a 32B, try a 32C.

• Wire sits on breasts

  Band is too loose. Take your measurements following the directions in this guide. Or, if the cup size is accurate, try a sister size down from your current size.
