The steps involved in learning how to determine your bra size include making measurements of the areas that will be used in this formula to determine bra size. The first part you should measure is the area under your breasts, or your ribcage. The next area you should measure is the area around your breasts. The third measurement should come from above the breasts but under the armpits. These three measurements will be used to determine the bra size you will need when you purchase a bra next time.

To get the band size, you will need to add the measurements you took of your ribcage and the area underneath your armpits, and then divide that number into two. After that, to determine bra cup size, take the resulting band size number and subtract it from the second measurement you took, which is the actual breast measurement. The resulting number will give you the cup size. Example would be the cup size for a subtraction resulting in 1 will be a cup A, 2 will be a cup B and so on. When your resulting number and size is found, choose a bra that is one band higher for comfort and a good fit.
