How To Find Your Bra Size

Worn correctly and in the right size a bra will provide your girls with excellent support and the shape you love. See our upcoming article titled I Know How To Wear a Bra! for tips on correcting those little mistakes you may be making with your bra.

Your bra size includes your band size and your bust size. This may seem simple but some of us just are not buying the correct bras for our body.

We can take a few easy measurements and do some simple math, and then you will be ready to buy that new bra. Measuring yourself accurately may be challenging so try to get some help if you can.

Band Size

The first measurement you need is your band size. Take this measurement while wearing an un-padded bra or without a bra.

Place the tape measure around your back at band level and bring it to the front just below your breasts. This should be a somewhat snug measurement around your rib cage and under your bust and shoulder blades.

Since bras come in even sizes need to add 1 inch to your measurement if it is odd. This will be the measurement for your final bra size.

Bust Size

To find your bust size, measure your torso at the fullest part of your breasts. The tape measure should not be snug like in the Band Measurement. It should be loose enough for natural breathing and movement.

You can take this measurement while wearing a non-padded bra or without any bra.

Cup Size

Your cup size can be found by determining the difference between the bust size and the band size. Each unit in difference equals one cup size.

For example if your bust size is 43" and your band size is 40":

43" - 40" = 3"

Final Step: Calculate Your Bra Size

Next we will use a chart to determine your cup size. Locate the difference in inches in the chart below and that is your cup size. In our example the difference was 3" which would equate to a C cup.

So our final bra size in this example is 40C.

Difference	1	2	3	4	5
Cup Size	A	B	C	D	DD

After completing this short measurement you may find out that you have been wearing the wrong bra size. Purchasing a bra in your new found size is a great idea. I am certain that you will notice a significant change in fit, comfort and flattery!

The Correct Bra Size

A bra can be a woman's best friend or her worst enemy. It is the difference between the perky round shape that we all want and a not so flattering one. Over time, the bras and lingerie that you wear will eventually mold your breasts so it is important to take a few extra steps to ensure you choose the right bra size for you.

The best bra is the one that fits right.

Surprisingly many women choose the wrong size bras and as time passes find they are unhappy with the way their breast appear or are shaped. Ill-fitting bras will eventually lead to an ill-shaped figure or sagging breasts. The wrong bra could even lead to a host of other problems like back pain, muscle tension in your shoulders and even posture trouble. Milana Fashion Gallery wants to help you avoid these negative affects and help find your proper bra size. Our step by step guide, How To Find Your Bra Size, will help you avoid making the mistake that many women make when it comes to choosing the right bra size.


When to Measure for Bra Size

It is a great idea to check your bra size periodically. Many women experience weight fluctuations and this can definitely cause changes in your bra size. Other signs that you may need to double check your size are spillage over bra cups, tight straps or tight bra band, a gap between your bra cups, and pain or discomfort in your back that is relieved when you remove your bra. All of these are signs that you are probably wearing the wrong bra size.
