Grab a measuring tape; If you don’t have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do. You'll be measuring your band and bust measurements to determine our bra size. Below are simple steps to help you.
Once you have your measurements, head over to our Size Guide to determine which sizes align with your measurements for bras, underwear, and apparel.
BAND MEASUREMENT
- While looking in a mirror, wrap the measuring tape (or string) around your back and under your boobs around your rib cage. (Hint: You may need to lift your boob up to get an accurate measurement) The tape or string should meet in the center front.
- Be sure that the measuring tape or string is totally straight around your body. Take note of this measurement, or make a mark on the string where the end meets the other side, then measure from the end of the string to your mark.
- Once you have your measurement based off of the measuring tape or measured string, you will add 4 if you get an even number or 5 if you measure at an odd number and that will be your band measurement. Ex-if you measure at a 31”, your band will be a 36”.
- Wilde Tip: If your measurement is higher than 42”, round the measurement up to the nearest even number to get your band size.
BUST MEASUREMENT
- While looking in the mirror, wrap the measuring tape (or string) around your back and across the fullest part of your boobs, usually right across the center of the nipple. Be sure that the measuring tape or string is totally straight around your body.
- Subtract your band measurements from your cup measurement. The difference between the two numbers will determine your letter size starting with A as 1.
EXAMPLE - If your band measurement is 36” and your bust measurement is 38”, your recommended size is 36B (because there is a 2” difference between your band measurement and your cup measurement).
