FAQs

How do I find my bra size UK? To find your UK bra size, you’ll need a measuring tape and follow these steps:

1. Measure your band size: Measure around your ribcage, just under your bust, in inches. Round to the nearest whole number. If it’s even, add 4 inches; if it’s odd, add 5 inches to get your band size.
2. Measure your bust size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, in inches.
3. Calculate your cup size: Subtract your band size from your bust measurement. Each inch difference represents a cup size (e.g., 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, etc.).
