Catherines Bra Fit Guide

1. Band Size (the numerical part of your bra size) = Body Measurement + 2(or 3) inches
While wearing your bra, measure over the bottom band of your bra, around your chest, just underneath breasts. If the result is an even number, add 2 inches to the number. If the result is an odd number, add 3 inches. (Note: If you are soft and fleshy, your Band Size will usually equal your Body Measurement, and there is no need to add the 2-3 inches.)

2. Bust Measurement = Fullest part of your bust
While wearing your bra, measure around the fullest part of your bust. This is your Bust Measurement.

3. Cup Size (the letter part of your bra size) = Bust Measurement - Band Size
Cup size is determined by subtracting the Band Size from the Bust Measurement.

A difference of :
0-1" is an A cup.
2" is a B cup.
3" is a C cup.
4" is a D cup.
5" is a DD/E cup.
 
6" is a DDD/F cup.
7" is a FF/G cup.
8" is a H cup.
9" is a I cup.
10" is a J cup.

4. Bra size = Band Size + Cup Size
For example, if you have a Bust Measurement of 42" and a Band Size of 38", there is a difference of 4". Your bra size would be 38D (42" - 38" = 4" = D cup). Bear in mind these measuring techniques are a guide only. Depending on the bra style, you may be more comfortable one size up or down from your calculated size
