How can you tell a girl's breast size?

Published in Bra Sizing 2 mins read

You can tell a girl's breast size using measurements and a bra sizing chart.

Measuring for Bra Size

Determining breast size involves taking two key measurements, as detailed in the YouTube video How to Measure Your Bra Size ft. Jenna Curran:

  • Band Size:

    • Measure around your chest, directly under your breasts.
    • Keep the tape measure snug, but not too tight.
    • Take a deep breath and exhale to ensure accuracy.
    • This measurement is the foundation for the band size.
  • Bust Size:

    • Measure around the fullest part of your chest, usually over the nipples.
    • Keep the tape measure parallel to the ground and snug.

Calculating Cup Size

After obtaining the band and bust measurements, you can calculate the cup size.

  1. Calculate the Difference: Subtract the band size from the bust size.

    • Example: If your bust measures 36 inches and your band measures 34 inches, the difference is 2 inches.
  2. Determine Cup Size: The difference between bust and band size corresponds to a specific cup size. Generally:

    Difference (inches) Cup Size
    1 A
    2 B
    3 C
    4 D
    5 DD or E
    6 DDD or F
    7 G

    The above table is a generalization. Sizing can vary slightly between brands.

  3. Combined Measurement: The final bra size consists of the band size and the calculated cup size.

Important Considerations

  • Professional Fitting: For the most accurate bra size, consider getting a professional bra fitting at a lingerie store.
  • Brand Differences: Bra sizes can vary between different brands and styles, so it's important to try on bras before buying.
  • Comfort: Ultimately, a comfortable fit is most important. Choose a size that feels supportive without being too tight or too loose.
  • Visual Estimation: Visually estimating breast size is not accurate. Precise measurements provide a reliable way to determine size.
