Can someone help me with my bra size?

Question

So right now I am wearing a 34 D. (which is a little big on my rib cage). I decided to use an online calculator to see my size, and my calculations were, 30 for the rib cage, and 35 for the bust. (I first got 29, but decided that was a little tight). All the online calculators either say, my size doesn't exist, or i'm a 36AA. How is this possible? I know i'm not either because, I have never been able to fit in a AA, (I have trouble with a C), and 36, is wwaaayyy to big. But about 5 different ones said that, and 2 said my size isn't real! Help? This is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance. :)

Answer 1

Bra calculators are dreadful as they use measurements without a bra - which will be different from when you have a good fitting bra on, or they use measurements from when you are wearing a poorly fitting bra. Also different manufacturers size up differently. It's also very tricky to get an accurate size off yourself with a tape measure.

The only way to get your true size is to go to a good (and I emphasise good) bra shop and get fitted. The best will not use tape measures but will start from what you are wearing, look at the fit from that and then try various ones to get a perfect fit.  

Answer 2

try going to your nearest lasenza or bra store they will help size you and find the bra made just for  you, sizing can be done while waring a shirt therefore it is not uncomfortable

Answer 3

Playtex has sizes between the normal C and D cup sizes. its called ND for Nearly D (or NC, whichever fits u the best). it should work better :)

Answer 4

if it's only the band that's too big and you're wearing a 34D then try a 32D

the best thing to do would be to just go to a store and try on a bunch of different bras and sizes to see which one fits best  

Answer 5

You should wear a 32 or 34 band size (band size is rib cage + 4).

If the FULLEST part of your bust is a 35 inches, you would wear either a 32C or a 34B.  Unless you mismeasured, a 32C sounds about right.

Keep in mind that the cup of a 34C and the cup of a 32C are not the exact same.

Answer 6

I'd say try a 32D.
