Bra Size Calculator is a bust, not a bust size determiner. I don’t know how many women have tried to use one of these things to determine the size bra to purchase but I am sure a lot. A woman’s breasts are as individual as her body’s shape. If you know how to measure you don’t need a bra size calculator. Even when you get the correct measurement though it all depends on the particular construction of the bra by the bra manufacturer of course. It’s just like when you are purchasing a pair of sneakers.
Here’s how to measure though and what those measurements mean. If possible have someone else take the measurements for you with a cloth tape and stand up straight wearing your most comfortable bra. Don’t measure over your clothing.
BAND SIZE – Use a cloth measuring tape and measure directly under your breasts and straight around the back. The tape should be straight and snug and parallel to the floor. Record the measurement. This is your underbust measurement. If your underbust measurement is an even number add 4 inches. If it is an odd number add 5 inches. 33 inches and over add only 3 inches for odd numbers.
CUP SIZE – Your cup size is determined by the difference between your overbust measurement and your underbust measurement. Measure around the bust at its fullest point. The measuring tape should be straight but not tight. Each inch of difference between your underbust and overbust is one cup size. Thus:
same as your bra size, your Cup size is A.
1in. more gives Cup size B
2in. more gives Cup size C
3in. more gives Cup size D
4in. more gives Cup size DD
5in. more gives Cup size E
and so on through F, FF and G
Now did you really need a bra size calculator for that? Again though going back to the sneaker analogy, each manufacturer’s bra is sure to fit a slightly bit different so it is a good idea to try one on even if you order just one online and have to return it, or get fitted properly for particular brands in the stores and then be smart and get the best deal for the brands you like online.
Hope this helped a little
