Question

How do u measure ur bra size?is der a formula 4 it?

Answer 1

Getting yourself measured at a store will be much better than trying to do it yourself.

Answer 2

I'm sure there are websites online that will tell you, or you can go to Macy's or Victoria's Secret and they will measure you for free! :]

Answer 3

You can either get it professionally done somewhere like Victoria's Secret (free!) or you can do it yourself with a tape measure. Take the tape and wrap it around your chest, basically right where your b***s start turning into flat chest again (lol). Record that number. Next measure around the biggest part of your chest and record that number. The first number is your band size, like 32, 34, 36...the second number minus the first number will give you your cup size, A, B, C, D...etc.

For example, lets say your first number you measure is a 34. Thats your band size. The next number you measure around the biggest part of your chest is a 37. 37 minus 34 = 3. 123...ABC so you are a C cup because C is the 3rd size. If you had done the math and ended up with a 1 youd be an A. 2? B. 4? D. 5? DD.

Answer 4

The most accurate way to measure your bra size is to take your underbust (ribcage) measurement, and round it to the nearest even number to determine the band size. Then, to work out your cup size you will need your bust measurement, measured over the fullest part of your bust. For every inch that your bust is bigger than your band size, go up one cup size. For example, if your underbust measures 32 and your bust measures 34, you will probably need a 32B. If the bra you are wearing at the moment is too small, it might squash your bust down, so bear in mind that you might need to try a bigger cup size.

You will know that you have the right band size when it is a firm but comfortable fit. You should only be able to run your fingers around under the band, if you can fit more than a fist under the back then it's too big. The cups should be filled out fully, but if you are bulging over the top or sides, or if there is any breast tissue not contained within the cups, then you need to try a bigger cup size.

You may well find that the size you get from your measurements is not a perfect fit. It's not possible for any measuring system to be 100% accurate, especially in the cup size because the volume cannot be calculated accurately from just two measurements.

The links I have given will explain bra fitting in more detail, including how to find your bra size without using a tape measure.

Answer 5

you can go to a bra and panties place and they do it for you just ask its free but if your gonna do it wrap the measure around from your back to the front of your bust in the middle like this

Answer 6

Go to any lingerie store such as La Senza or Victoria's Secret (depending on where you're from... any lingerie store will do) and they will take a tape measure and measure you, 100% free of charge.

Answer 7

look up bra measurement and you'll get a lot of links to instruction on measuring your bra size.

Answer 8

There is no standardized (and accurate) formula for measuring bra size, despite what many websites and 'professional' fitters will tell you. There are many different methods that are used, but here's the most reliable one, in my experience:

1. Measure snugly and horizontally beneath your b*****s. Round up to the nearest even number. This is your band size. (Keep in mind: some brands have tighter bands than others. For some brands, I can simply round up to get my band size. For a few, I have to add 3", to the next biggest band size.)

2. Measure loosely around the fullest part of your chest (usually around nipple level), making sure you don't compress any breast tissue. Subtract your band size from this number.

3. A 1" difference = A cup, 2" = B, 3" = C, 4" = D, etc. This is your cup size.

For example, let's say I measure 29" beneath my b*****s and 35" at the fullest part. I would wear a 30 band size (rounding up from 29). 35 - 30 = 5. A 5" difference here is a DD, so I would wear a 30DD. However, it's important to remember that this is an estimate and nothing more. Every woman is shaped differently, so no measuring system will work universally; similarly, every bra brand manufactures their bras slightly differently, so you will not be the same size in every bra style, let alone every bra brand. If you come out as 30DD (as in this case), make sure to try on a range of sizes: perhaps 30D-DDD as well as 32C-DD.

(NB: When going up in the band, you need to go down in the cup to compensate and vice versa. For example, a 30DD holds the same cup volume as a 32D, 34C, and 36B.)
