Hey fam! 💖 Finding the right bra is a total game changer for comfort and confidence. Measuring your bra size doesn’t have to be complicated. So, let’s get into how to measure your bra size like a pro. Trust me, it’s easier than it sounds!
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you start, you’ll need:
-
A soft measuring tape (easy to find online or at craft stores)
-
A mirror
-
A notepad and pen to jot down those deets
-
A comfy, non-padded bra
Step 2: Measure Your Band Size
-
Rock a Non-Padded Bra: Wear a non-padded bra before taking the measurement. We want accuracy, fam!
-
Tape It Up: Stand in front of the mirror and wrap the measuring tape around your ribcage, just under your bust. Make sure it’s parallel to the ground and snug but not suffocating.
-
Write It Down: Breathe out to get your true measurement and round to the nearest whole number. This is your band size. If it’s even, add 4 inches; if it’s odd, add 5. For example, if you measure 32 inches, your band size is 36 (32 + 4).
Step 3: Measure Your Bust Size
-
Find the Fullest Part: Now, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape level and snug—no pulling it too tight, though!
-
Note It Down: Stand tall and relaxed. Round this measurement to the nearest whole number.
Step 4: Calculate Your Cup Size
To figure out your cup size, subtract your band size from your bust measurement:
-
Bust Measurement - Band Size = Cup Size
For instance, if your bust is 40 inches and your band is 36 inches, subtract: 40 - 36 = 4.
Step 5: Decode Your Cup Size
The difference tells you your cup size:
-
1 inch = A cup
-
2 inches = B cup
-
3 inches = C cup
-
4 inches = D cup
-
5 inches = DD/E cup
-
6 inches = DDD/F cup
-
And so on…
So, if you’re rocking a band size of 36 and a bust of 40, you’ve got a D cup. Your final bra size? 36D—boom!
Now that you’ve got your size, it’s shopping time! 🎉
