Measuring The Band Size

  • An expert bra designer would first measure your chest (around it)
  • The next step would be to measure under the breasts
  • Finally, the tape would go around the back for measurement sake

While measuring, the tape would sit flat on the surface of the body, and when it goes back, it shall do so in a straight line. They would add a ballpark figure of plus five inches to the actual measurement, or sometimes just three inches too, to find out the real BAND SIZE on you.

Should you end up with an uneven number, calculate to the next number to make it even. This is because the band sizes with Indian bras mostly come in even numbers.

Measuring The Cup Size

This is a tricky concept, and the best thing to do would be to try on various bras to know which one would cup best.

  • Find an expert to help you with the measurement
  • The tape should touch the top of the peak point of the breasts
  • If you want to wear a padded bra, go ahead and do so, keeping in mind under your choli you would be wearing a padded bra on D-Day
  • Make a note of the measurement and notice the difference between the size of the band and the number you get at the peak of the breast
  • This is your cup size
