Discovering your Bra Size
Not able to make it into our store for a personalized bra fitting appointment?
While our bra specialists are passionate about finding your best fit, we understand you may need to do your own. Remember, you're always one ring away from speaking with a bra specialists.
All you need is a soft tape measure to obtain two measurements in inches to find your bra size.
Step One
Measure Band Size
Measure around the top of the rib cage taking a firm measurement from a side position. If this is an even number this is the back size. If it is an odd number round up to the bigger even size.
For example 37 will become a 38 back.
Step Two
Measure Bust Size
The tape needs to sit flat over the breast, not pulled tightly. Ideally you'd want to be wearing a non padded bra, as padding will create extra volume to the breasts and provide an inaccurate measurement.
In this scenario, the measurement is 43.
Step Three
Calculating cup size
To get the cup size, take the two measurements from the previous steps and calculate the difference between the two numbers.
For example, as per this scenario,
43 minus 38 equals 5.
Now it's time to determine which size chart you'll be using. See below

Fit Tips
- Since bras can stretch over time, your bra should fit firmly on the loosest hook when brand new.
- You should only be able to fit a few fingers between your body and the band.
- Weight gain or loss, pregnancy, menopause, medications, and age can all affect your sizing.
- Exercising may require a slightly different fit and/or more support.
