How to Find Your Perfect Bra Size

Wearing the right bra size makes all the difference in comfort and confidence. Studies show over 80% of women wear the wrong size — but finding yours is simpler than you think.

Step 1: Measure Your Band Size

Using a soft measuring tape, measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.

  • Round to the nearest even number (e.g. 74 cm → 75, 76 cm → 75 or 80).

Step 2: Measure Your Cup Size

Measure around the fullest part of your bust (at nipple level). Subtract your band measurement from this number:

  • 0–1 cm difference = AA cup
  • 2–3 cm = A cup
  • 4–5 cm = B cup
  • 6–7 cm = C cup
  • 8–9 cm = D cup
  • 10–12 cm = DD/E cup

Step 3: Do the Fit Test

Put on your bra on the middle hook. A well-fitting bra should:

  • Have a band that sits horizontally across your back
  • Have straps that stay in place without digging in
  • Have cups that fully contain the breast with no spillage or gaps
  • Have a center gore (front panel) that lies flat against your sternum

Common Fit Problems & Fixes

  • Band rides up: Go down a band size, up a cup size
  • Straps digging in: Band is too loose — try a smaller band
  • Cup spillage: Go up a cup size
  • Gaps in cups: Go down a cup size
  • Center gore not flat: Cup size is too small
