How to Use the Bra Size Calculator

This guide will take you step-by-step through the process of using the Bra Size Calculator to determine your recommended bra size and sister sizes. Follow the instructions carefully for accurate results.

Step 1: Measure Your Underbust/Band

Objective: Obtain an accurate measurement of your underbust, which is the band measurement under your bust. This is crucial for determining your band size.

1. Use a soft measuring tape to measure just under your bust, keeping the tape snug and parallel to the floor.
2. Ensure that the tape is not too tight or too loose for an accurate reading.
3. Enter the measurement in inches in the “Underbust/Band Measurement” input field, ensuring it falls between 20 and 60 inches and enters in increments of 0.5 inches (e.g., 32.5).

Step 2: Measure Your Bust

Objective: Obtain an accurate measurement of your bust at its fullest part. This is essential for determining your cup size.

1. Using the same measuring tape, measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape remains parallel to the floor and not slackened.
2. Enter your bust measurement in inches in the “Bust Measurement” input field, making sure it is between 20 and 70 inches, using 0.5 inch increments if necessary.

Step 3: Evaluate Your Current Bra Fit

Objective: Understand how your current bra fits to adjust the band size calculation appropriately.

1. Select an option from the “Current Bra Fit” dropdown menu that best describes the fit of your current bra band: “Band feels too tight,” “Band feels too loose,” or “Band feels perfect”.

Step 4: Determine Your Breast Shape

Objective: Select your breast shape to ensure comprehensive fitting advice.

1. Choose the option that best describes your breast shape from the “Breast Shape” dropdown: “Shallow,” “Projected,” “Wide-set,” or “Close-set”.

Step 5: Analyze Your Recommended Bra Size

Objective: Use your inputs to determine your accurate band size, cup size, and overall bra size.

1. The calculator will compute your Band Size by adjusting your band measurement based on current fit input.
2. It calculates your Cup Size Difference by subtracting the band size from the bust measurement.
3. Based on the cup size difference, it will determine your Cup Size (A, B, C, etc.).
4. Finally, your Recommended Bra Size will be displayed as a combination of the band size and cup size.

Step 6: Explore Sister Sizes

Objective: Consider alternative sizes that may offer better comfort or fit.

1. The calculator will provide a Sister Size, which is an alternative size with a different band and cup that maintains the same volume as your primary size.

Now you know how to work through each step of the Bra Size Calculator, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your needs. Remember, an accurate measurement leads to comfortable wear!
