Bra Measuring
How to correctly measure for bra size

Step 1. Band Size

Measure around your ribcage, right under the bustline on your bare skin. Don't pull the measuring tape too tightly.

This is your un-stretched band measurement.
Note: Latex needs to stretch about 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches to fit properly

All of our bras are listed as unstretched measurements, therefore this measurement is the one that corresponds with our size charts. Band must stretch to fit properly. Example: You measure 34, band must be smaller.

To determine your cup size you must convert this un-stretched band measurement into a bra band measurement using the conversion chart found below.

To determine your bra band size follow this chart.
(This chart and conversion process is only necessary
to determine cup size and is not necessary
to determine band size for a latex bra)

26" (66 cm) 2 Inches 28
27" (68.6 cm) 1 Inches 28
28" (71.1 cm) 2 Inches 30
29" (73.7 cm) 1 Inches 30
30" (76.2 cm)  2 Inches 32
31" (78.7 cm) 1 Inches 32
32" (81.3 cm) 2 Inches 34
33" (83.8 cm) 1 Inches 34
34" (86.4 cm) 2 Inches 36
35" (88.9 cm) 1 Inches 36
Step 2. Cup Size

For this measurement wear a supportive thin material bra.  Measure over the fullest part of the bust line.

Once you have this measurement subtract your bra band size that you got from the chart above from your overbust measurement.

That difference is the number you will use with the chart below to detemine your cup size.

Example
Cup Sizes:
a) Measure is 36"; 36-34=2 Cup Size is B
b) Measure is 41"; 41-38=3 Cup Size is C

To determine your cup size follow this chart using the difference between the band size and the overbust measurement.
