Sizing Your Girls Up: How to Find Your Bra Size

Grab a tape measure because you'll need it! Finding your bra size is extra fun because you get to figure out two components...

Your band size and your cup size!

Fitting Your Band Size

• In front of a mirror, wrap your tape measure snugly around your chest. Make sure its under the crease, beneath your breasts
• Check in the mirror to make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and flat across your back. You may need a friend to help
• Write down your measurements
• Some basic math is needed to find your band size. If the number is even, add 4 to get your band size. If the number is odd, add 5 to get your band size. For example: If you wrote down 32, add 4 and your band size will be 36

Fitting Your Cup Size

• In front of the mirror, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your breasts (at the nipple)
• The tape measure should be straight, parallel to the floor and flat across your back
• Write down the measurement
• Take this number and subtract your band size measurement from it. The difference will tell you your cup size. For example: If your band size measurement is 38, and your new measurement, from the fullest part of your breast is 35, the difference is 3, and your cup size is “C”
