Arrow down a bit and look under where it says:

"Are you sure you know your bra size?"

And it explains how to measure your bra size.

Answer 3

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.

Many websites and fitters themselves will tell you to add 4-5" to your under-bust to find band size. It's a very popular method, as you can see from websites as well as people's responses here. It's also, unfortunately, inaccurate. It's hard to change people's minds about this: they see everywhere to add 4-5" so they refuse to believe anything else (ever heard of a common misconception?), but you should add 3" at most! I cannot stress this enough; don't add more unless you want shoulder/back pain.

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 30D, make sure to try on a range of sizes: perhaps 30C-DD as well as 32C-DD. (The method I posted works for both U.S. and European bra sizes, though I've found that U.S. bras tend to have smaller bands on average, so if you fit well in a 30D in Chantelle, a French brand, you may need a 32B/C in Wacoal, an American brand.)

(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.)
