How To Find Your Bust Size With Your Bra Size

Did you know that you can find out your bust size just by knowing your bra size? When trying to find new clothes you might notice that there is a bust measurement listed. It helps to know your bust size when it comes to these important buying decisions. If you don't have a measuring tape handy, you're in luck because we have bra and bust size charts and calculators right here for you!

If you know how to find your proper bra size, you are already a step ahead of some women. Unfortunately, there is still some confusion around how to properly measure for your bra.

Maybe you already know what bra size works best for you. If so, that's perfect! We can find out what your bust size is just by using your bra. Bra sizes consist of two important elements; an even number alongside a letter. The even number denotes the underbust measurement used for the band of the bra, and the letter is the cup size. All cup sizes correlate to the difference between your band measurement and your bust measurement. If you're a 32C, your band is 32" and your bust is 35". We know this because every inch difference between your bust and band measurement means you go up a cup.

So when looking at cup sizes AA=0, A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, and so on. If your band measurement is 34, and your bust is 36, this means your bra size should be 34B since the difference is 2. But instead of doing your own math, you can just use this bust size calculator. To use the calculator, simply enter your bra size. The first field is the number (band) and the second field is the letter (cup size).

Find Your True Bra Size

Now if you've never properly taken measurements for your bra size, you may still want to do this. If you feel that there is room for improvement in your overall bra fit, it's definitely worth the effort to take your measurements. There are still many women dealing with the struggles of wearing a bra that isn't sized correctly. So let's take a deeper dive into taking these measurements.

  1. To find your band size this should be measured standing up without a bra. Firmly wrap the measuring tape around your body and underneath your bust. Measuring in inches, if you happen to land on an odd number you round up to the nearest even number. Do not add any other numbers to this measurement. The antiquated method of adding numbers to the band measurement will result in an improper fit.
  2. To find your bust/cup size take your measurements wearing your current favorite non-padded bra, it also cannot be a sports bra. Then you wrap the tape around your body, keeping it straight and measure at the fullest part of your bust.
  3. It's important to keep in mind that everyone is different, and there are many different brands and styles of bras with their pros and cons. This can lead to variation within what makes the perfect fit for you. These resulting measurements are the best way to get your baseline for the best bra fit.
