Measuring yourself
Step 1: Measure Yourself
Start by wearing a non-padded bra and, using a soft measuring tape, measure around your ribcage, just below your bust. This measurement is your band size. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
Step 2: Measure Your Bust
Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Ensure the tape is parallel to the ground and not too tight. The difference between this measurement and your band size determines your cup size. Each inch of difference represents a cup size (e.g., 1 inch difference is an A cup, 2 inches is a B cup, and so on).
Step 3: Utilize a Bra Size Calculator
Several online bra size calculators can simplify the process. Enter your measurements into a reliable calculator to get a suggested bra size. Keep in mind that sizing may vary between brands, so use the result as a starting point. This is a really popular calculator in the UK: https://www.booborbust.com/#calculator_top
Understand UK Bra Sizing
Bra sizing can vary globally, and understanding the UK sizing system is crucial, especially when shopping for bras from British brands. In the UK, band sizes are measured in inches, while cup sizes use letters (e.g., 34C). Familiarize yourself with the UK sizing chart to make accurate selections.
