WHAT BRA SIZE ARE YOU?
STEP 1 - BACK MEASUREMENT
Measure around your rib cage, just under the breast using a flexible tape measure. Ensure that the tape is level around the back, and hold it firmly but comfortably. This will give you your band size.
STEP 2 - CUP MEASUREMENT
Now measure around the fullest part of your breast - ensuring tape is level at the back.
STEP 3 - DETERMINE WHAT BRA SIZE YOU ARE
Minus your cup measurement from your back measurement. The difference will determine what cup size you are.
