BRA FIT GUIDE

There are two main measurements being considered when fitting bras: (1) the band size and (2) the cup size.

The band size of your bra is based on the circumference of your underbust, which is located under your breasts in the ribcage area.

The cup size of your bra is based on your breast or bust size, which is calculated by getting the difference between your underbust circumference and your chest or bust circumference.

The chest circumference is measured on top of the highest point of your breasts, and just like your underbust circumference, it is usually recorded in inches per U.S. sizing standards. Once the difference between your bust and underbust is determined, the answer is converted to its corresponding alphabetical letter (e.g., A, B, C, D, etc.) in the U.S. cup size chart.

How To Measure Your Bra:

You can get professionally measured or do your own measurements. It's best to measure while standing upright.

Step 1: Band Size Measurements

Wrap the measuring tape (you could also use string or cord) directly under your breasts. Breathe normally, keeping your chest relaxed. Write down the number in inches. If an odd number or half number, round to the next largest even number.

Step 2: Bust Measurement

Using measuring tape (you could also use string or cord), wrap the tape around the upper torso and atop the highest point of your breasts (i.e. nipples). Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor and is at the same height in the back as it is in the front. Write down the measurement in inches.

Step 3: Cup Measurement

Common method of determining a woman's cup size is by subtracting the bust and band size. Make sure they are both in inches. Every inch difference is a cup size correlation. Example: 1 inch=A cup, 2 inches=B cup, 3 inches=C cup, etc.

Tip: If you don't have measuring tape, you can use string or cord. Use the method above, but mark where you measured on the string or cord and use a straight edge or folding ruler to get the measurements.
