What's Your Bra Size?












No... I don't really want to know your bra size, that's a little personal! :)  But on a serious note... many of you may have heard that anywhere from 80-90% of women have no clue what their actual bra size is! So that means almost all of you are walking around with an uncomfortable situation under those shirts! Eek! So, I have included the way that the Victoria's Secret ladies measure you. It's fast simple, you just need to know a little addition and subtraction to figure it out. Hopefully this will help all of the brides out there find a little more comfort on your wedding day!

Step One: Band Size: Wear a non-padded bra and use a soft tape measure. Hold the tape measure around your back at band level. Then bring it to the front, just above your bust. The resulting number is your band size. Hint: If the number is odd, round down to the closest even number.





Step Two: Bust Measurement: Measure completely around the fullest part of your bust (at nipple level). This is your bust measurement. If this measurement falls on the 1/2 inch, round up.




Step Three: Cup Size: Subtract the band size (step 1) from the bust measurement (step 2). This number equates to the letter of your cup. Bust Measurement - Band Size = Cup Size. For Example : If your bust measurement is 36" and your band size is 34, you wear a B cup. Hint: Every body is different and results may vary slightly.
