Calculate band size
- Wrap the measuring tape snugly under your bust, parallel to the floor.
- Round to the nearest whole number. If even, add 4 inches; if odd, add 5.
- The result is your band size.
Example: 25.6″ rounds to 26. Band size = 26 + 4 = 30
Bra Size Calculator & Guide
Wearing the right size isn't just about comfort—it's about confidence. Our interactive guide helps you discover your true measurements for both bras and panties in just a few simple steps.
Measure under your bust (Band) and across the fullest part of your chest (Bust).
Most women wear the wrong bra size without knowing it. Our step-by-step guide and calculator help you find your true measurements in minutes — so every piece you choose feels as good as it looks.
Example: 25.6″ rounds to 26. Band size = 26 + 4 = 30
Subtract your band size from your bust measurement.
Each inch of difference equals one cup size: 1″ = A, 2″ = B, 3″ = C, and so on.
Example: Bust 37″ − Band 34″ = 3″ difference → 34C
A few simple habits make all the difference when measuring at home.

All measurements in inches.
You've found your size — now make sure it feels right. Check these three areas before you buy.
What should the cups look like?
Breasts are fully contained with no spillage or gaping.
No creases, wrinkles, or empty space at the top.
Spillage over the cup edge
Gaping or empty space
Underwire sitting too low
What should the band feel like?
Snug and level across your back — not digging in, not riding up.
Secure on the loosest hook with room to tighten over time.
Band riding up in the back
Band digging into your sides
What should the straps feel like?
Comfortably in place on your shoulders without slipping.
They should support, not carry the full weight of your bust.
Straps digging into shoulders
Straps constantly slipping off
Use a piece of string around your bust and band, then measure the string flat against a ruler. We still recommend a soft fabric measuring tape for the most accurate results.
