How to take your measurements
Step 1 - band size
Measure the smallest part of your ribcage (be sure to keep the tape parallel to the floor!) uneven number?
Round up! This is your band size.
Step 2 - bust size
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Step 3 - cup size
Subtract the bust size measure from the band size measure. The difference corresponds to the letter associated
to your cup size as indicated in the chart. Your bra size corresponds to the letter and to your band size
Cross Sizing
If a style does not fit you perfectly, you should consider cross sizing. (Not suitable for every
body, depends on the breast and the shape.)
Cross sizing can differ depending on your body type.
If you have a larger under bust section, size up the band and reduce the cup size. If you have a fuller bust, size up the cup size, but reduce the band size.
Example: If you wear a size 42D, but have a larger under bust section, the best cross-size would be size 44C. If you are fuller in the bust and not so large in the under bust, the best cross-size would be 40DD."
