Knowing how to measure bra size is critical for every woman for bra shopping. Therefore we have compiled the following comprehensive guide which is easy to understand for any Pakistani woman who can read.
Measuring your bra size involves following 4 steps:
1. BAND SIZE
Wrap the tape measure round your chest just beneath the breasts. This is your Band Size. For example, if it measures 38 inches then your band size is 38.
2. BUST SIZE
Now wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your breasts. This is your Bust Size. Let’s suppose it is 41 inches.
3. CUP SIZE
Subtract the Band Size from the Bust Size. If the Difference is 1 inch or less the Cup Size will be A Cup and If the difference is more than 1 inch or up to 2 inches, your Cup Size is B Cup, so on and so forth. In our example where Band Size is 38 and Bust Size is 41, the resultant Cup Size will be 41-38 = 3 = C cup.
4. FINAL BRA SIZE
In the example used above, the final Bra Size is 38C. Where 38 is the Band Size and C is the breast or Cup Size which is the Difference of 3 inches between Band Size and Bust size.
