How do you measure bra size with a tape measure
Answer
First, measure your band size, the part directly under your bust [EX: 26]. Do not add more than 2 or 3 inches to this measurement [EX: 28]. Next, measure at the fullest part of your bust. Usually across the nipples [EX:32]. Take your bust measurement and subtract your band measurement from it [EX: 32-28=4]. The inches difference would be the cup size. Thus, resulting in a bra size of 28D.
A cup=1 inch
B cup=2 inch
C cup=3 inch
D cup=4inch
and so on...

I need help measuring my bra size.?
Annyo
I measured my bust and it's 30 inches, then I measured beneath my bust and it's 28 inches. What is my bra size?
I forgot to mention that I do not fit in any AA cups and I can barely make some of the A cups work. So, I've been having trouble with my size.
I do not fit in a 32 A....
Answer
To best measure your bra size its best to do it with your bra off. Go into the bathroom, and use a soft measuring tape. Like the type tailors use, not the hard type constructors and plumbers use. Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of bust. For me and most other women this is usually right across the nipples. Make sure it is fitting naturally around your bust and not too tight nor too loose. Remember this number. This is the CUP size. Now, measure right underneath your bust. Some people say to do it on top of the bust but I like to do it underneath. Measure underneath your bust and remember this number as well. This is the BAND size. Now, subtract the BAND size from your CUP size. If the difference is:
0 inches--AA cup
1 inch--A cup-
2 inches--B cup
3 inches--C cup
4 inches--D cup.......so on and so forth.
Then you take your band size measurement and apply it towards your band size. For example your bust was 30 and your band was 28 so you seem to be a 28 B. However, 28 is a rather small band size. The smallest band you will probably find in most places is a 32. 32 should work just fine and shouldnt be much of a difference. I would go try on some 32 B size bras and let me know how they fit!
