THE CORRECT BRA SIZE
With your bra on, measure underneath your bra band, starting from the center of your chest. Measure around and back.
Add 2 to 4 inches to this.
Example: 32" + 4" = 36". This is a size 36 bra.
If there is an uneven measurement, with the added 4", go to the next even size.
Example: 33" + 4" = 37". Go to 38".
Measure over the fullest part of the remaining breast from the center of your chest to the center of your back.
Double this measurement.
Example: 19" x 2 = 38"
If this measurement is:
The same or up to 1" larger than the bra size………A cup
1-2" larger than the bra size…………………………………B cup
2-3" larger than the bra size ……………………………… C cup
3-4" larger than the bra size ……………………………… D cup
4-5" larger than the bra size ……………………………… DD cup
