BRA SIZES     

To find your proper bra size, take three measurements.  This will give you the most accurate fit.

Step 1.   First, measure around your body under your armpits (A).  Make sure you put your elbows at your side and relax your shoulders.  Round up to the next even number.  This is your band size; ie, 36, 38, etc.  (A= Band Size)   

Step 2.  Measure the fullness of your bust (B).    

Step 3.  Finally, measure around your rib cage just under your bust (C).  Now subtract the rib measurement (C) from the fullness of the bust (B).  The difference is your cup size.   Fullest Part of the Bust - Rib Size = Cup Size as determined by the chart below.

A= Band Size

B - C = Cup Size

1"=A

7" = DDD/F

1 1/2" - 2" = B

8" = G

3" - 4" = C

9" = H

5" = D

10" = I

6" = DD/E

11" = J

For cup sizes 32-36 G-J or 38-52 I & J, Sleep Bra Style # 110FGH will fit better.  Just choose the next size up.  For example, if you are a 38I, choose a 40FGH.

Size Equivalents:

You've taken your measurements, but the size just doesn't seem to add up?  Some women carry more of their size in their back or other areas which may make your cup size somewhat skewed.  For your convenience, we have given you some examples to help you determine other sizes that may fit you better in the band, but which are the equivalent cup size. 

Calculated Size Smaller Band -

Equivalent Cup Size

Larger Band -

Equivalent Cup Size

34B 32C 36A
36D 34DD(E) 38C
38C 36D 40B
40DD(E) 38DDD(F) 42D
42F 40G 44DD(E)

As you can see from the examples above, when you go smaller in the band, you need to go up in the cup size.  If you go larger in the band, you need to go down in the cup size. You should only do this if the calculated size does not fit.  If you change to a larger band and don't need to, the back will ride up because it is too loose.   Do not buy a D just because the manufacturer does not make a larger cup.  Look for manufacturers that have a wider range of cup sizes as necessary.  Nursing bra manufacturers that make an F cup are Bravado and Leading Lady and Fancee Free manufactures bras in sizes up to L cup.  If you need further assistance in ordering a bra, please give us a call at 800-216-8151.
