Measuring- bra size

There are 2 variables we need to  determine to correctly find your bra and cup size.  These variables are your frame size and your chest+breast size

1. Determine Frame & Bra Size
The frame size is the diameter around your chest JUST BELOW your breasts.  Using the tape measure, measure around your ribcage directly under your breasts.   

To determine the bra size, add 5 to this number.  If the number you get is odd, round up to the next even number.  For example, if your frame size is 28 inches, when you add 5 to this you get 33 inches.  You should therefore round up to the even number which is 34 inches (since bras only come in even numbers).  This is your bra size, 34 inches.

2.  Determine Breast Size
The next measurement goes around the chest over your bust (usually at the level of the nipples).  Technically, you should take this measurement while wearing a comfortable bra. This is the diameter of your chest+breast

3.  Calculate Cup Size
Now, from breast size number, subtract your bra size number.  Then use the table below to determine your cup size. If difference is

If bra size is 34, breast size is 38, then size of bra is-34D.
