Bra Size Calculator
This calculator estimates bra size based on bust size, frame size, and common measurement standards. Also converts bra sizes in the US, UK, EU, and Australia.
How to Use the Bra Size Calculator
Enter underbust and bust measurements using a flexible measuring tape. The calculator estimates a starting bra size by combining band size and cup-size difference.
Band and Cup Framework
Bra sizing combines horizontal band support with cup-volume estimation from measurement differences.
Fit Beyond Numbers
True comfort depends on strap tension, wire shape, cup depth, and movement support.
Brand Variability
Equivalent labels can fit differently across brands due to pattern and material differences.
Reassessment Timing
Regular fit checks help maintain comfort and support as body measurements evolve.
Practical Fitting Workflow
Use calculator estimate as baseline, then test nearby sizes and sister sizes for best real fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is bra size estimated?+
It combines estimated band size from ribcage measurement and cup index from bust-to-underbust difference.
Why does size vary by brand?+
Brand grading, shape assumptions, and manufacturing tolerances differ across brands and lines.
What is sister sizing?+
Sister sizes keep similar cup volume while changing band size, such as 34C and 36B.
Should I measure with or without bra?+
Measurement method depends on tool guidance, but consistency and proper tape position are key.
Can body changes affect fit quickly?+
Yes. Weight changes, hormonal cycles, and life stages can alter fit requirements.
Why is the calculated size only a starting point?+
Fit depends on breast shape, strap design, and cup construction beyond numeric size.
How often should I remeasure?+
Periodic remeasurement is helpful, especially after noticeable body or wardrobe changes.
Does this work for sports bras?+
Sports-bra fitting often uses additional support and compression preferences beyond standard sizing.
Can this replace professional fitting?+
No. Professional fitting can refine comfort and support with style-specific adjustments.
What are common measurement mistakes?+
Loose tape, incorrect level placement, and inconsistent breathing posture are frequent errors.
