1st... measure whats the size of your chest not including your breast... that's you size no. eg 36 ... then measure your breast size and minus the chest size... that's your alphabet... eg A - 1 inch, b - 2 inch

that's what my friends taught me.. works well

Simple but don't know accurate or not:

A - one whole palm can covered it easily

B - one whole palm "ngam-ngam" can covered it all

C - hardly can covered with your one palm

D - Impossible!

The size of a bra is commonly described by two values. The first is the band size (underband), a number based on the circumference of the chest under the bust, excluding the breasts. The second is the cup size given by a letter of the alphabet, and relating to the volume of the breasts themselves. For example, a 30D bra is for a 30-size band and a D-size cup. Cup sizes start with A, the smallest, and increase through the alphabet.

Band size is usually determined by measuring body circumference either under or above the breasts and then adding a specified amount to account for the fact that the ribcage is generally wider at the height of the breasts than at the point at which one measures. A second measurement is then taken of the chest circumference over the fullest part of the breasts (overbust).

Measurement number 1: Measure under your bust line.

Put on your best-fitting, unpadded, under wire bra. Measure underneath the bust line and make sure to measure tightly. Be sure the tape measure is straight across your back.

The general rule of thumb for all measuring is: less than ½", round DOWN, more than a ½", round UP. So if your measurement is 32 ¼", call it 32. Write this number down. This is measurement number 1.

Band Size: Calculate your band size.

If measurement 1 is UNDER 33 inches, add 5 inches. If this number is odd, round up to the next EVEN number. If measurement 1 is OVER 33 inches, add 3 inches. If this number is odd, round up to the next EVEN number. Write this EVEN number down. This is your band size.

Measurement number 2: Measure over the bust line

Measure over the biggest point of your bust line. This is a looser measurement. Make sure the tape measure is straight. Write this number down. This is measurement number 2.

Cup Size: Calculate your cup size.

maybe still a todler or small kid...

neway... dont spam unnecessary comments... stay to the topic

yeaps.. i guess that chart works well.. however it is best to try it out yourself... it works as a guide only..

neway... dont buy biggers bras to look big.. it wont provide support and you wont know if you are rubbing against ppl...

breast size and palm size varies, therefore rendering all the above pointless.

when u buy bra, try different cup sizes but the band size must be the same (measure ur underbust to determine). the cup that fits ur breasts the best shud be ur right cup size.

try on a few cups then you will know.. as long it supports your breast well then it is the right one... 1st decide on size then on cup... then go for sports bra later...

The above guide from coldfission is the best way to determine your bra size. But due to different bra cuttings and designs it's best to try them on before purchase. The sales assistant will be able to help in taking your measurements as well.

sports bra usually dont have specific sizes.... so they offer the best support... compare the support to the sports bra's ... if it is nearly the same then the size n cup is correct rclxms.gif
CallMeMonkey
search google and enter the keyword 'how to measure cup size'

you'll find it in the first link given. I cant give the link here for as the guide provides real images

Yea...chances are 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra...http://www.oprah.com/tows/slide/200511/200...5_284_101.jhtml

It's best to correct it early.

actually no. a sports bra support is by flattening the breasts a bit so that they won't bounce when u work out. so buying a normal bra according to sports bra is not the correct way.

Just go to the sales assistant... that is the reason they are there for... to measure...

Also, breasts size changes frequently... Sometime we gain or lose weight and the breasts size also changes... Sometimes you might be 34B, when u lose weight you might go down to 34A or 32B... So you need to go measure every six months, I saw this programme about educating women on wearing the right bra... many people are not wearing the right bra, hence, it will gradually affect the shape of your breasts... Some people actually wear the same size for like 20 years shown in the programme!!! Also, different brands' sizes are different too. For e.g.: Triumph 34B might be different from Skiva 34B... So if you wanna get a bra, make sure to try it first, and if not sure, please ask the sales assistant... But I dont really like the sales assistants in Msia, not that pro (attitude/service wise) but what the heck, janji the bra fits...

Also, you might be surprised... To upgrade your bra size, wear the right bra... you will be surprised... maybe you have always thought you were 34A, but after measure, you are actually 34B... isn't that great?

well normally when u purchase the bra, the sales promoter will definitely help u to measure n check. i'll suggest u not to b malu cuz they'll teach u some tips on the correct way to wear ur bra. i got some tips from them too. n my size is from b to c.
a1098113
cup sizes are simple.. just measure your chest diameter.. and then from your nipple to your chest.... the difference you gget from your nipple to your ribcage is what u have as your cup size

1 inch - A
2 inch - B
so on

34/75 coz 34 follows US size i think and euro follows in cm.. which is 75...

Had to learn all this coz my gf is overseas and she wanted lingerie.. sweat.gif//

No, each body has its own length. Like open your arms wide, measure from your hands to another is equal to your height. And 2x round your neck is the size of your waist. nod.gif

And everyone's palms has the ratio to everyone's size. biggrin.gif
