3 Step Bra Size Calculator
The first and recommended choice is to have a professional bra fitter from a lingerie boutique or department store measure you. The second is to measure yourself (or get a friend to help). If, you've decided on this option you've come to the right place. In 3 quick steps, take 2 simple measurements, subtract them for a third measurement and voila you have a good approximation of your bra size. Where to start? We'll take you through it step by step and show you exactly what to do.
Step One You'll need a soft measuring tape, a pen and paper, and the bra size calculator below... Once you change into your most comfortable bra (no padding please!) you're ready to start. Starting from the back, hold the measuring tape taut and take the measurement around your ribcage, directly under your bust...snugly but not too tight. 
Next, round this measurement to the nearest inch. So, for example if you measured 33 1/4", round up to 33"...if you measured 32 1/2", round down to 32". Write this down. Now, to get your band measurement, take the number you wrote down and add 5" to it if it's and odd number...if it's even number then you add 4". Here's how it works...
Step Two To determine your cup size, start from the middle of your back, hold the measuring tape and measure lightly all the way around the fullest part of your bust. Again, keep the tape in a straight line parallel to the floor, so you'll get the correct measurement. Round this number to the nearest inch. So, for example if you measured 33 1/4", round down to 33"...if you measured anything above 32 1/2", round up to 33". Write this number down.
Keep in mind that this method of determining bra sizes is used only as a guideline. Bra styles, sizes and fabrics do vary from one bra manufacturer to another. For example your favorite Bali bras may not have the same bra fit as a Chantelle bra in the same size.
So, it is important to be flexible with the size tag since it can differ.
