Q. I currently wear 36B size bras (UK size) but depending on the brand, some seem tighter than others. I have one bra that's quite tight and uncomfortable, but another one is the same size that's perfect. I measured myself again, and according to the measurements, I'm a 38B, but they're much too big! Am I doing something wrong? If my straps dig into my shoulders and it feels tight under my breast, what does this mean?
Answer
Bra sizes, at least here in America, vary between brands. I wouldn't worry too much about it. You'll just have to try on EVERY single bra you buy. I mean, I tried on this black bra, it fit so I got the exact same size and brand, just in the nude color. However, the nude-colored bra was too big! Even being the exact same brand!
The lesson here is to always always try on your bras before you them to make sure they fit. And follow the washing care recommended on your bra's tags, because you can subtly change the size if not washed/dried correctly. And your breasts will change size when you grow/gain/lose weight, so don't really be concerned if you outgrow/shrink out of your current bras.

What is my bra size?? Smaller or bigger?
Q. I am 28 inches under my bust and 33 over my nipples and around my back... What is my bra size? I'm wearing a 34B but I don't really know. My friend is also a 34B but her breasts are much larger than mine... Also, when I look down my shirt, there is a large gap between my breasts in the bra. I don't if its maybe the cut of it because it does not have underwire. Any ideas what my bra size is?
Oh gosh... Me too.. The one I am currently wearing looks like this.

Answer
A bra size is made up of two components: the number that denotes the band size and the letter that indicates the cup size. Determining the bra size that fits you is not as complicated as you may think. In fact, all you need are a tape measure, someone to assist if you need them. Keep in mind, however, that this method doesn't always work well for women with larger cup sizes, particularly those over a D. Which you are not. To prevent any inaccuracies, get someone else to take your bra size measurements. It is best to take the measurements on your bare skin rather than over your clothing. Stand upright with your arms at your sides and assume a relaxed posture by breathing normally. Your band size is also known as your chest size. It is the circumference of your chest either above or below your breasts. Both measurements are commonly used and are accurate in determining your correct bra size:Upper chest band size. Place the tape measure around your back and upper chest by going above your breasts and under your armpits. Make sure the tape measure lies taut against your skin. If you get an odd number or a fraction, round up to the nearest even number. For instance, 31.6 inches (80.3 cm) will become 32 inches (81.3 cm). This measurement in inches is your band size. Under bust band size. Place the tape measure tightly around your back, going under your breasts and across your ribcage. Add four inches (10.2 cm) if you get an even number and five inches (12.7 cm) if you get an odd number. For example, 28 inches (71.1 cm) will become 32 inches (81.3 cm). This is your band size.Following this example, your band size is 32 inches (81.3 cm). Keep this number in mind, as you will need it to calculate your cup size.Measure your cup size. Measure the circumference of your chest, including your breasts at their fullest part. This part is usually at the nipple level. To determine your cup size, subtract your band size from your chest plus breast measurement. Hence, if your chest and breast measurement is 34 inches (86.4 cm), and your band size is 32 inches (81.3 cm), you will get a difference of two inches (5.1 cm). Difference: Cup Size 1 inch (2.5 cm): A ,2 inches (5.1 cm): B ,3 inches (7.6 cm): C ,4 inches (10.2 cm): D ,5 inches (12.7 cm): DD or E ,6 inches (15.2 cm): F ,7 inches (17.8 cm): G . Since you have a difference of 2 inches (5.1 cm) in this example, your cup size is B. From steps 2 and 3, you already know your bra size, which is 32B. Now that you know how it is done, you can measure your bra size from the privacy of your own home. Even though the method above is accurate, you may sometimes try on a bra in your size that does not fit you. This is common, given the varying bra designs from one manufacturer to the next. Additionally, your bra size alters according to changes in your body due to factors such as exercise, diet, the natural aging process and water retention. If a bra in your size does not fit you, first try to adjust the bra straps or band hooks before opting for a bra in another size. If, after proper adjustments are made, the bra still does not fit well, then follow what your body is telling you. Above all else, it is very important to choose comfort and a good fit rather than restricting yourself to your bra size. I hope that will give you the best way to determine your Bra size since different material and Manufacturer's are to be taken into consideration but if you follow all this you will have your bra size that you will be comfortable with and not tight Good luck best wishes if you need more help please give me all your sizes I will give you the one you need. DIFFERENT MATERIALS DIFFERENT SIZES DEAR BUT IF YOU FELLOW ALL THESE YOU WILL ALMOST HAVE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.. good luck best wishes..
