Your bra is designed to provide you with support and comfort, which it cannot do effectively if it is the wrong size.  Research suggests that up to 70% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. 

Common signs of incorrect bra size include:

- breasts bulging over the tops of cups, above/below the back straps or under your

  arms;

- shoulder straps digging in, leaving marks or falling down a lot;

- the back of the bra not sitting level with the front, for example riding up;

- a gap between the bra and your breastbone.

Remember, your breasts change size just as your body does, for example when you put on weight.   This means it helps to make sure you are regularly measured correctly, either by a professional (available free from many department stores) or you can follow this do-it-yourself guide.

How To Measure your Bra Size

1. To get your back size:

Measure the area underneath your bust in inches.

If the number is even, add 4 to it.

If the number is odd, add 5 to it.

Eg.

If your under bust measures 30”, your bra size will be 34.

If your under bust measures 31”, your bra size will be 36.

2. To get your cup size:

First you need to have worked out your bra size following the above instructions.

Next you need to measure your bust over the fullest part,

You then take your bra size away from this second figure.

Finally use the following table to work out your cup size, using the remainder.

Eg. 

Your under bust measured 28”, so your bra size is 32”

The measurement over the fullest part of your bust was 36”.

You deduct 32” from 36”, which leaves 4”. 

Using the table below, this gives a cup size of DD.  So your bra size is 32DD.
