The 3-Step Measuring Guide

Step 1: Find Your Band Size

Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, right under your bust. Make sure the tape is level all the way around your back.

• Take a deep breath out to get a comfortable measurement.

• Note down the number in inches.

• If it's an odd number, round it up to the nearest even number. This is your band size!

• Example: 31 inches becomes a 32 band.

Step 2: Find Your Bust Size

Now, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, (this is why it's good to wear a non-wired bra, as sagging breasts will give you a false cup measurement). Ensure the band is over your nipples and level across your back. The tape should be snug but not tight—don't squish your breasts!

• For the most accuracy, lean forward so your back is parallel to the floor. This ensures all your breast tissue is included in the measurement.

• Note down this number.

Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

This is the magic step! Subtract your band size (the number from Step 1) from your bust size (the number from Step 2).

Example: If your band size is 34 and your bust size is 38, the difference is 4 inches. That means your size is a 34D.

Section 4: Important Fit Notes & Your Brand Plug

It's perfectly normal if your size changes between different brands or even different styles. Breast shape is unique to everyone! The number and letter you get are your perfect starting point for finding bras that feel amazing.

This is especially true for wire-free bras, like ours at Miss Bonney. Since they rely on smart design and the perfect band fit for support (instead of underwires), getting your base size right is the key to comfort.

Pro Tip: If you get stuck between sizes or shapes, the incredibly detailed calculator from A Bra That Fits is a fantastic resource for everyone.

Section 5: Signs of a Perfect Fit

• The Band: It should feel snug and secure and you should be able to fit two fingers underneath it comfortably.

• The Cups: Your breasts should fit smoothly into the cups with no gaping or spillage over the top or sides.

• The Straps: They should stay in place and provide support without digging into your shoulders or falling loose.
