How to measure a woman's bra and cup size at home?
Measuring for a bra and its cup size involves a few steps. Here’s a quick guide:
Band Size:Â Measure around your ribcage, just under your bust. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add 4 inches; if it’s odd, add 5 inches. This is your band size.
Bust Size:Â Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape level and not too tight. Round to the nearest whole number.
Cup Size: Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference in inches determines your cup size:
   – 1 inch = A cup
   – 2 inches = B cup
   – 3 inches = C cup
   – 4 inches = D cup
   – 5 inches = DD cup, and so on.
Â
For example, if your band size is 34 inches and your bust size is 37 inches, the difference is 3 inches, which means you would be a 34C.
