How to determine bra size

Determining bra size is an important first step since it’s essential for undergarments to fit comfortably and not bind. After spending hard earned cash on a nice suit or dress you want to look as good as possible with underwear that is made to fit a real woman’s body properly.

Learn how to find your bra size.

Stand in front of a mirror and wrap a tape measure snugly around your chest, just under the breasts. Make certain that the tape measure is parallel to the floor and flat across your back.

Now some math: if the number is even add 4 inches, if it's odd, add 5. For example, if the measurement is 36 inches, add 4 for a band size of 40. Now wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your breasts.

For full sized bras subtract the band measurement from this number - the difference will be the cup size. For example if the band is 38, the difference is 3.

Understanding bra size measurement

Cup sizes do depend on the brand. The following is a guideline:
- less than a 1/2" difference is 'AA'
- 1/2-1" is A
- 2" is B
- 3" is C
- 4" is D
- 5" is DD or E
- 6" is DDD, F
- 7" is FF and G
- 8" is H
- 9" is I
- 10" GG and J
- 11" is K
- 12" is HH, L
- 13" is JJ

How bras work

Bras for big beautiful women are an arrangement of fabric and sometimes metal and plastic to help give support and shape. The basics are: frame (chestband), cups and shoulder straps. The frame anchors the bra to the body and provides attachments for the cups and shoulder straps.

The cups encase and shape the breasts and provide support by transferring the weight to the bra frame. Under wires are often used to stiffen the frame which improves support and shaping. Shoulder straps raise and adjust breast height and allow only a small portion of the weight on the shoulders.
