STEP 1 – GETTING THE BRA SIZE (PREFERABLY STANDING WITH BRA ON)
Measure your body circumference directly underneath the breast snugly.
If the measurement obtained is an even number, add 4 inches.
e.g. 28” + 4” = 32” => Your Bra Size will be 32.
If the measurement obtained is an odd number, add 5 inches.
e.g. 29” + 5” = 34” => Your bra size will be 34.
If your body’s circumference measures 40 inches or more, add just 1 - 2 inches to get an even number. If measurement is taken while seated, no need to add.
STEP 2 – DETERMINE THE CUP SIZE
Measure your natural breast from the center of your sternum (chest bone), directly across the nipple area and under the axilla (armpit) to the centre of your back (spine).
Multiply this measurement by 2. E.g. 18” X 2 = 36”
The difference between the 1st measurement (step 1) and the 2nd measurement (step 2) will help determine the cup of your bra.
E.g. Bra Size = 34” (step 1) and difference = 2” (step 2) => You are a 34B!
