If you have recently experienced a change in weight and need to shop for a new bra size, but you would rather do it own your own without the help of a bra size consultant, we're here to help you out.
Following is a quick guide to get you started. All you need is a flexible measuring tape (if you haven't had your surgery yet, you may want to buy this in advance online, at your local pharmacy, department store or even craft store). Be sure to remove any clothing on your upper body.
Bra Guide - How to Measure on Your Own
Band Size Measurement (inches): With the flexible measuring tape straight around your back, and directly below your breasts on your ribcage, measure in inches without pulling too tight. Be sure to write the number down (round the number up if you are inbetween two sizes). This will be the smaller number of the two measurements.
Cup Size Measurement (inches): Keeping the measuring tape flat on your back, simply move the tape up to the fullest point of your breasts. Measure in inches without pulling too tight and write this number down (round the number up if you are inbetween two sizes).
Final Calculation: Find your Final Bra Size by using both your #1 Band Size Measurement and your #2 Cup Size Measurement on the chart below. Remember, bras vary in sometimes depending on the style, and their all also equivalent sizes, but this will help you start the process confidently. When you are ready to get a proper bra fitting, go to your local lingerie store and ask to speak to a bra fit specialist.
Good luck!
