How to Find the Right Size Bra?

Anyone who has ever worn an uncomfortable bra or the incorrect bra size understands how it can sabotage an otherwise perfect outfit, or worse, an entire day. (The backaches and breast soreness that often accompany enormous breasts are not to be taken lightly.) Finding and purchasing a set of undergarments with the proper cut, fit, and size is the solution, but it is not an easy one.

A C-cup at one retailer may easily be a D-cup at another, and certain bra sizes can expand and contract during the course of the day or in between washes (particularly in terms of band size).


First check if you’re wearing the right sized-bra.

Following are some warning indications that you might not be wearing the correct bra size.

According to experts at Luscious Goddess lingerie, one of the finest lingerie companies in Calgary, Canada, signs of a bad bra include:

  • cup wrinkles

  • underwire protruding into the sides of your breasts

  • a band that rides up, cup leakage

  • slipping straps, or 

  • a bra that raises when you move your arms


If you have any of the fit problems listed above, visit a professional bra fitter. Alternatively, get out the measuring tape and use these instructions to determine your bra size at home.

So what steps are needed to be followed?

Let’s discuss briefly:


Step 1: Determine Your Band Size

Use a measuring tape to wrap around your torso beneath your bust, where a bra band would typically rest, whether you're wearing a bra or not. The tape needs to be tight and level. To the nearest full number, round. Add four inches if the number is even. Add five if it's strange. The total of these calculations is your band size. (For example, if your measurement was 32 inches, your band size is 36. Your band size is 38 if your circumference is 33 inches.)


Step 2: Measure The Size Of Your Bust

Wrap the measuring tape lightly around the area of your chest that is the fullest (at nipple level). To the nearest full number, round.


Step 3: Calculate The Size Of Your Cup

In the opinion of lingerie companies in Calgary, then subtract your determined band size from your bust measurement. Your cup size and band size together make up your bra size. Example: 34-inch bar and a bust of 37 inches.


Step 4: Understand How To Appropriately Size Up Or Down

Go up one band size if you need to go down a cup size for fit, and vice versa. Move up to a 36B, for instance, if a 34C is too large for you in the cups. To be sure you are going up or down a bra size appropriately, use the size chart provided here. Keep in mind that your bra size may vary somewhat based on the brand or style of bra you are wearing. Finding the ideal fit could require some trial and error.


Step 5: How To Make Sure The Size Of The Bra Is Correct

  • Put on the bra and hook it while bending forward at the waist. Your breasts will be fully encased in the cups thanks to this.

  • Resize the band. The bra's back need to be parallel to its front.

  • Don't let the bra get too loose. One finger should be the only thing that can be slipped beneath the band.

  • Affix sagging straps. Shorten the straps after tightening the band.

  • Over the bra, put on a fitted shirt. You are not wearing the proper bra size if the cups pucker or your breasts protrude.

  • In the mirror, see yourself from the side. Between your shoulders and elbows, your breasts should be in the middle. If not, you require a bra that is more supportive and properly sized.

  • Pick a bra that is snug enough to stay on the outermost hook. Make the band taut by sliding toward the tightest hook as the bra gradually becomes looser.
