Recent research suggests that 80% have never had their bra size measured correctly and are in fact wearing the wrong size for their bust.
In order to calculate your bra size, you’ll need a soft measuring tape – not a metal one!
You need to take 2 measurements to calculate your bra size. These are the bra back size and the bra cup size.
1. To measure your bra back size, take your tape measure and place it underneath your bust and measure right around the back to your ribcage. Make sure that the tape measure is not too loose, but not so tight that you’re unable to breathe. It should feel comfortable yet secure and tape should be straight across your back. Take the measurement in inches and then add +5 to it. For instance if you measured yourself as 29″, then you’ll be a 34″ bra size. If once you’ve added the 5, you end up with an odd number, then you’re usually better off rounding up and going for the larger bra size. So if you’re a 35″ after adding 5, you may find that a 36″ bra will fit you more comfortably than a 34″.
2. Measure from your back around to the fullest part of your breasts, which is normally over the nipples. Again, ensure that the measuring tape is not too loose, nor too tight and is straight and even across your back.
With this measurement, you need to compare it to the calculated (after adding the 5) measurement of your bra back size. The difference between the two numbers if your cup size.
Less than 1 inch – AA Cup
1 Inch – A Cup
2 Inches – B Cup
3 Inches – C Cup
4 Inches – D Cup
5 Inches – DD Cup
6 Inches – E Cup
7 Inches – F Cup
Voila – with these two measurements, you can put them together and browse our sexy bras, knowing that they’ll fit you perfectly this Christmas!
