Bra Size Guide
Believe it or not, more than 70% of women wear the wrong sized bra. Here's our quick and easy guide to help you find the right size for you.
1. Find your back measurement
- Measure around yourself just under the bust, keeping the tape quite tight and checking in the mirror that it's level all the way around.
- If the figure is an even number add 4 inches. If it’s odd, add 5. This gives you your bra size eg.
38 + 4 = 42 back size
39 + 5 = 44 back size
2. Find your cup size
- Measure around the fullest part of the bust, again using the mirror to check the tape is level.
- The difference between this and the back measurement is your cup size. Simply use the table below to check what it is.
| Difference in measurements | Cup size |
|---|---|
| 1" | B |
| 2" | C |
| 3" | D |
| 4" | DD |
| 5" | E |
| 6" | F |
| 7" | G |
| 8" | H |
Example:
42” back size + 43” fullest bust point measurement = size 42B
42” back size + 50” fullest bust point measurement = size 42H

how to find the perfect bra
Because wearing the right bra can transform how you look and feel, we've put together top 10 tips on finding one that's made for you. Once you've read through them, check out our bra measuring guide with your tape measure at the ready. But remember, it's worth trying on a few bras, as the tape measure is only a guide.
1. keep checking
Check your bra size at least every six months. Everyone's breasts change over time for lots of different reasons, like having children, loosing or gaining weight, or just getting older.
2. try it for size
When trying a bra on, lean forward and fill the cups properly. If they don't seem properly filled, lift and reposition yourself so that you get a smooth line.
3. make sure the cups aren't too loose
If the cups are baggy or creasing, try a cup size down.
4. ... or too small
If you're overflowing a bit, try a cup size up.
5. get the right support
The underband of the bra gives you your main support - if it's too big the straps will take the strain and dig in. So make sure your underband fits snugly, but gives you enough space to fit two fingers under the back.
6. keep it level
Your underband should be level all the way around too. If it's riding up at the back, try a smaller underband size.
7. go for the middle hook
Always fasten a new bra on the middle hook. That way you'll be able to loosen or tighten it if you need to.
8. make yourself comfortable
With underwired bras, the centre front should lie flat against your breastbone - if it doesn't, go up a cup size. The underwiring itself should sit comfortably on your rib cage, without digging in.
9. use your mirror
Check out your silhouette by trying on your new bra under a gently fitted T-shirt. Look at yourself from every angle to make sure you get a smooth line all round.
10. get moving
Don't just stand there, do something! You need to test that your new bra is comfortable when you're in action.
If you'd like some free, friendly and expert advice, just call into any of our stores and ask for the specialist bra advisor.
