The Correct Way to Determine Your Bra Sizes
If you want to work out your bra size, it is advisable to start somewhere – and a tape measure is pretty much as good a place as any.
The number in your bra measure represents the size of your chest. There are 2 ways to measure it. You can measure below your bust, round your rib cage, and add four or five inches (whichever will get you up to an even number). Or you may measure around your chest straight underneath your armpits (don’t add any extra to this figure).
At any rate in both cases, hold the tape in a straight line (look in a mirror or get someone to help you) and breathe all the way out, or the band will probably be too loose.
The letter in your bra size represents your breast volume, however it’s uncertain. Ideally, you want to take the measurements while your breasts are supported in a nice rounded, lifted position. When you measure and not using a bra, your breasts will be drooping and the measurement you get may be too small. When you wear a bra that is too small, your boobs will get squashed. In case your breasts are already uplifted and sitting where they should be – what do you need measure them for? Seems like all you need to do is read the label on the bra you’re wearing!
Anyhow, for what it’s worth: measure round your rib cage BELOW your bust again. Don’t breathe in, we want your resting measurement. Now measure around the fullest part of your breast. What’s the difference between the two? Each full inch is a cup size. So one inch difference means you are an A, two inches means you’re a B, and so on.
Armed with this info, you can head to the shop with at least some concept on where to start out!
