how to measure your bra size correctly

There are several excellent lingerie suppliers, who will professionally measure your bra size. We recommend the following :
    Simply Gorgeous Lingerie
    The Corsetiere
    Liza Clifford Professional Bra Fitting Studio

However, you may want to measure yourself, below is a guide to assist you. You will need a soft tape measure, a well fitting soft unpadded bra and someone to assist you.

Please note, this is only a guide and that your size may differ based on bra brand and style. It is always best to be measured by a professional bra fitting studio.

• Stand straight and relax. Don't inhale...just relax and breathe normally.
• First measure around your rib-cage directly under your breasts (A), this will give you your under-bust measurement. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.  (e.g. : 34 inches = band size 34). Refer to the Band Size Chart below, to determine your correct band size.
• Next, measure the fullest part of your chest, without pulling the tape tight, the tape should be around the fullest part of your breasts (B) - this will give you your over-bust measurement (e.g. :  38 inches)

• Calculate the difference between you over-bust and under-bust measurement (e.g. : difference between 34 and 38 = 4 inches.  This would make the bra size 34C). Refer to Cup Size Chart below.
