The Perfect Guide to Calculating your Bra size
If you are unsure of your bra size please see below our easy tips for finding your correct size….
Step One
Finding your Underband Size
Using a Fabric tape measure, measure around your rib cage underneath the bust line whilst wearing a non-padded bra. After this please see the chart below to calculate your underband measurement.
Underband (cm) | Bra Size |
58 - 62 | 28 |
63 - 67 | 30 |
68 - 72 | 32 |
73 - 77 | 34 |
78 - 82 | 36 |
83 - 87 | 38 |
88 - 92 | 40 |
93 - 97 | 42 |
Step Two
Now you need to discover your cup size.
Simply measure your bust at its fullest part using the fabric tape measure making sure that the tape measure sits evenly across the front and back and that it is not twisted.
Please see the chart below to calculate your cup size.
