How to measure your bra size at home

Most women wearing the wrong size were never actually measured — they guessed, or a shopkeeper did. Getting it right takes a soft tape and about two minutes, and you can do the whole thing at home, alone.

1. Measure your band

Wrap the tape snugly around your ribcage, right under the bust, parallel to the floor. Breathe normally. That number is your band.

2. Measure your bust

Now measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape level and without compressing. The difference between this and your band gives your cup.

Between two sizes? Choose the larger band. Still unsure — a female consultant helps you privately on WhatsApp, no photos needed.
