To find out your correct bra size you need a soft measuring tape. Some methods suggest that you wear a good fitting bra when measuring and others suggest that you do not therefore, it is up to you. Make sure that you do stand up straight and that you do not let the tape measure get twisted.

Start by measuring the area underneath your breast around your rib cage. Pull until the tape measure is snug but not tight to get an accurate reading. Take this number and add five inches to it and you will have your band size. For example, if you measure 35 inches, then your band size would be 40.

Next measure the fullest part of your breast but do not pull the tape measure tight, this will give you an inaccurate reading. Don’t let all the letters found in bra sizes confuse you. These stand for your cup size and there is an easy way to determine which size is the right one for you.
