Answer 1

try 32 A, but you should measure yourself before you buy a new bra

Answer 2

ask your mom... she is the one that gets it for you so she would know best.  

Answer 3

OK, first of all, if your mom has bought you bras before, and if there's one that fits you comfortably, simply look at the brand and size on it, then go and buy several more of the same brand and size. If you don't have any that fit comfortably, then go to a department store, or Victoria's Secret, or some place like that, and if you ask the salesladies for help they'll measure you (over your shirt) and tell you what size you'll take.

Answer 4

where ever you go, they will measure you, and that's how you will know.  

Answer 5

measure yourself or get measured by a pro. fits also depend on brand.

Answer 6

To find your bra size you will need to know your underbust and bust measurements. Your underbust measurement is taken around your ribcage just under your bust. Round this to the nearest even number to determine your band size. Do not add any more inches to this measurement - it needs to be a snug fit.

To calculate the cup size you need to take your bust measurement (around the fullest part of your bust) and work out the difference between it and your band size. Count one cup size for every inch difference between the two numbers. For example, if your underbust measures 32 inches and your bust measures 35 inches, then you should need a 32C.

When you have the right size, it should fit firmly against your body when you fasten it on the biggest adjustment. This is to allow the bra to be tightened when it starts to wear out. When the cups are the right size they will be filled out fully, but you shouldn't be bulging out anywhere, even if it's a push-up bra.

Answer 7

Zoggi_the_mouse posted a good method (don't 4-5" to find band size, as a lot of guides tell you) and a lot of good links.

I'm just going to add that I realize how annoying/confusing it is to go bra shopping for the first time, especially if you're a tomboy and hate shopping. I was the same way. But it's really important that you don't just grab a size to get it over with. The first time I went bra shopping, I thought, 'Okay, I don't want to do this....  I'm an average size... my b***s are an average size... I think I wear 34Cs.' I bought those and wore them, and as a result had severe shoulder and back pain. It turned out that I was wearing a band three sizes too big with cups one to two sizes too small! It's always worth it to put the effort into finding a properly fitting size.

If you're on the thin side of average or skinny, you'll probably need a 28 or 30 band. These can be hard to find in some shops, but if you have quite small b*****s you might be able to find 28A/B and 30A-C in the teen section.

Answer 8

Height and weight tells us nothing about your bra size. Most department stores or places like Victoria's Secret will measure you for free, that way you know you are getting the right size.

Answer 9

First you need to know that Bra sizes are made up of two parts. first is the chestband size and second is the cup size. The size "34C" denotes a size "34" chestband and a "C" cup size.

    * Use a standard dressmaker's tape measure.

    * For best results, have someone else measure you.

Your Two Measurements

1. Your Bra/Band size

Your band size is a number, which represents your body or diaphragm size - such as 30,32,34,36,38,40, etc. It’s known as the 'underbust measurement' because it is taken from under your bust and shoulder blades, around your rib cage.

2. Your Cup size

Your cup size is a letter, which represents the size of your bust - such as A, B, C, D. It's known as the ‘overbust measurement’ because it is taken around the fullest part of your bust.. getting the proper bust measurements

Getting a Proper Chestband / Underbust Size

Cup size can not be properly obtained if the chestband is not the correct size. So the first step you need ot take is getting the proper chestband size. A properly fitted chestband will allow your bra to provide proper support to your bust while taking the load away from the shoulder straps which are intended to adjust the height of your bosom, not carry it. To get your chestband measurement:

    * Take a snug measurement around your rib cage, under your bust and shoulder blades.

    * Add 5 inches. Example: 30" + 5" = 35"

    * If you get an even number, this is your Band Size.

    * If you get an odd number (like 35), round up one (to 36) to get your Band Size.

    * Example: 30" + 5" = 35" + 1" = 36"

Getting a Proper Cup / Overbust Size

Now that you have your band size you can go on to figure out the right size bra to buy. The next step is to determine what your cup size is and this is pretty easy to do. You can do this by yourself, but it definitely helps if you have someone who can assist you with the measurements. To get your proper bra cup measurement:

    * With bra on and clothes off, place the measuring tape under your arms and over the fullest part of your bust.

Next you need to do a little math to get your proper cup size.

    * Subtract your underbust meas. (Step 1) from your Overbust Meas. (Step 2).

    * Example: 39" overbust measurement - 36" underbust measurement = 3"

    * 3" = C cup

Check the site, it has a diagram. Then tell you mother which size to buy if you don't want to go and try  them on.

Best wishes.
