How to Calculate Bra Size
Bra size has two parts: band size (around the ribcage) and cup size (difference between bust and band). Getting both right is essential for comfort and support.
Measurement Method
Step 1 — Band size:
Measure snugly under bust (cm or inches)
Round to nearest even number (or add 1 if odd)
US band sizes: 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40...
Step 2 — Cup size:
Bust = measure at fullest point of chest
Difference = Bust - Band size (inches)
0" = AA | 1" = A | 2" = B | 3" = C
4" = D | 5" = DD/E | 6" = DDD/F
International Size Conversion
US 34B = UK 34B = EU 75B = FR/ES 90B
US 34D = UK 34D = EU 75D
Cup letters vary between US and EU:
US DD = UK DD = EU E
US DDD = UK E = EU F
Sister Sizes
Bands +2, cups −1 letter = same volume:
34C = 36B = 32D (all same cup volume)
If band too tight: try same cup, larger band
If band too loose: try same cup, smaller band
