To measure your band size, you'll need a soft measuring tape. Here's how:
-
Measure Under Your Bust: Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, directly underneath your breasts, where your bra band typically sits. Ensure the tape is level and pulled taut but not too tight.
-
Take the Measurement: Note the measurement in inches.
-
Add Three Inches: Add 3 inches to the measurement you obtained in step 2.
- Example: If your ribcage measurement is 31 inches, then 31 + 3 = 34 inches. Your band size is 34.
-
Adjust for Odd Numbers: If the result is an odd number, round up to the next even number.
- Example: If the calculation gives you 33 inches, round up to a band size of 34.
In summary, the formula is: (Ribcage Measurement in inches) + 3 = Band Size (round up to the nearest even number if needed)
