Your Size vs. Sister Sizes

The Formula Behind the Fit

Our calculator uses an industry-standard method to determine your bra size. It’s a two-step process that combines your band and bust measurements.

  1. Band Size Calculation: Your underbust measurement is the starting point. In the US/UK system, if your measurement is an odd number, we round it up to the next even number. For example, a 29-inch underbust becomes a 30 band size. If it’s already even, it stays the same. This rounded number is your final band size.
  2. Cup Size Calculation: The cup size is determined by the difference between your bust measurement and your calculated band size (not your raw underbust measurement). Each inch of difference corresponds to a letter in the cup alphabet.
    Formula: Cup Size = Bust Measurement – Band Size
    • 1 inch difference = A cup
    • 2 inches difference = B cup
    • 3 inches difference = C cup
    • 4 inches difference = D cup
    • …and so on.

By combining these two calculated parts, you get your final bra size (e.g., 34C). Our tool then uses comprehensive conversion charts to show you your equivalent size in different international systems.

1. About This Tool

Welcome to our comprehensive Bra Size Calculator, a tool designed to empower you with the knowledge to find a comfortable and supportive bra. We understand that navigating the world of bra sizing can be confusing and frustrating. With inconsistent sizing across brands and countries, finding the right fit often feels like a guessing game. An estimated 80% of women wear the wrong bra size, leading to discomfort, poor posture, and a lack of confidence. This tool was created to solve that problem.

Our calculator utilizes industry-standard measurement techniques, taking your unique underbust and bust measurements to provide a precise and reliable size recommendation. But we don’t stop there. We recognize that a single size doesn’t tell the whole story. That’s why our tool also provides your equivalent sizes in major international systems (US, UK, EU, AU) and introduces the concept of “sister sizes”β€”alternative sizes that may offer an even better fit depending on the bra’s style and brand. Our mission is to demystify bra sizing, providing you with a highly accurate starting point and the educational resources needed to make informed choices. Think of this tool not as a final answer, but as your expert guide on the journey to ultimate comfort and support.

2. How to Use

Using our calculator is simple. Follow these steps for the most accurate results:

  1. Prepare for Measurement: For best results, wear a lightly lined, non-padded bra. This ensures your breasts are held in a natural shape. Have a flexible measuring tape ready.
  2. Select Your Unit: Use the dropdown at the top of the calculator to choose whether you’ll be measuring in Inches (in) or Centimeters (cm).
  3. Measure Your Band (Underbust): Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, directly underneath your bust. The tape should be parallel to the floor and level all the way around. Exhale to get the smallest possible measurement. Select this number in the “Underbust (Band) Measurement” dropdown.
  4. Measure Your Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, usually at the nipple level. The tape should be comfortably loose, not digging into your breast tissue, and parallel to the floor. Select this number in the “Bust Measurement” dropdown.
  5. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button. Your results will instantly appear below, including your primary size, international conversions, and sister sizes. The charts at the top of the page will also update to reflect your data, providing a visual guide to how your size compares globally.
  6. Reset: To start over or enter new measurements, simply click the “Reset” button.

5. FAQs

How often should I measure my bra size?

It’s a good idea to measure yourself at least once a year. Your bra size can change due to factors like weight fluctuations, pregnancy, exercise, and hormonal changes. If your bras start to feel uncomfortable, it’s a clear sign that it’s time to measure again.

What are sister sizes and why are they important?

Sister sizes are a group of bra sizes with the same cup volume. For example, a 32D, 34C, and 36B are sister sizes. They are important because if a bra’s band feels too tight or too loose, you can try a sister size to get a better fit while keeping the same cup capacity. The rule is: if you go up a band size, go down a cup size (e.g., from 34C to 36B), and if you go down a band size, go up a cup size (e.g., from 34C to 32D).

Why do my bra sizes vary so much between different brands?

This is a common and frustrating issue caused by a lack of universal sizing standards in the lingerie industry. Each brand uses its own models and patterns, leading to variations in fit even for the same labeled size. This is why our tool’s international conversion chart is so valuable, as it gives you a baseline for navigating these differences.

My calculated size seems wrong. What should I do?

First, double-check your measurements to ensure they were taken correctly (snugly for the underbust, loosely for the bust, with the tape measure level). If the measurements are correct, remember that this calculator provides a highly accurate starting point. Bra fit is also affected by breast shape (e.g., shallow, projected, full on top/bottom) and the style of the bra. Use the calculated size as your guide, and don’t be afraid to try the recommended sister sizes to fine-tune your fit.

Can I use this calculator for sports bras or bralettes?

This calculator is primarily designed for standard, underwired bras. Sports bras and bralettes often use more general sizing like Small, Medium, and Large. While your calculated bra size can help you find the right range in those charts (e.g., a 34C is often a Medium), you should always refer to the specific brand’s sizing chart for those types of garments, as their fit is very different.
