So what is my REAL bra size?

Question

Hi, I was calculating my bar size on the computer and used two different sites and the size I comfortably fit in. The sizes were all different!

Site one: 8AA

Site two: 30A

Normal size: 14A-14B

So what is my real size?

Thanks!

Ignore bra size calculators! They DON'T work! They use the usual 'add 4/5in to your under bust' and it means you get a band too big and a cup too small.

I'm really sorry, but I don't fully understand AUS bra sizing! I'll try my best.

30 is (I think) a 10 in AUS. Clearly, from the measurements you've entered, a 14 is way too big for you!

The best thing to do is to measure your under bust, and if it's an even number that's your band size. If it's an odd number add one. So, if you measure 28 under then you need a 28 band size... in the UK. For AUS, 28 is a 6, 30 is an 8, 32 is a 12, 34 a 14 etc. So, measure your under bust in inches and convert it.

Next, measure the b*****s. Work out the difference between your under bust and bust. For example, if it's 28 and 34, you'd need a 28E. In AUS, that's 6E.

Check the band fits. If you can pull the band further than 5cm away from your body, it's too big and you need to go down a size. If you need to go down, for example, from a 12 to a 10, remember that you need to go up a cup size. A 10E is the same cup volume as 12DD.

Now the cups. Check for spillage, the underwire digging in etc - all signs it's too small. Look for wrinkling and gaping, too, signifying it's too big.

Remember, using measurements is very basic - it doesn't determine your size and should only be used as a starting point. Try some on, and good luck :)

The best thing to do is to go to an underwear shop and get the people there to measure you! Most women actually wear the wrong bra size!! It's important to wear the right size for comfort, support and also wearing the wrong size can damage your breast tissue! Also, bra models vary in size and therefore you might need to adjust the sizes slightly, so always check with the people working in the shop to make sure it's the right size...
