Q&A for How to Measure Your Bra Size

Wear a bra that is unpadded and measure above your bust (the tape will be in your armpits), at the fullest part of your bust, and then below your bust.

Yes, that is certainly possible.

Get a ribbon and mark your measurements, then you can measure the ribbon with a yardstick or steel tape measure.

The length of your torso shouldn't matter because you will be measuring around yourself horizontally.

You can design customized bras online according to your size and height. Google "custom bras."

Go to a store that specializes in lingerie. Then you can ask an attendant for help without being embarrassed because they size people every day.

You could try a 30B or a 32A. Try both on and get the one that's most comfortable.

You should just invest in a tape measure. In the meantime, you can go to a store that sells bras and get a professional measurement.

If it hurts or leaves red marks on your skin, it is too small.

Don't be embarrassed. It's a totally normal development. One easy way is to just wait until you are out shopping with your parent and start looking at them. They will probably take the cue and ask you if you want to get one.

To accomplish this, you don't have to measure your breasts separately. Simply follow the instructions in this guide to determine the size of your larger breast, then order a bra in that size and inserts for the smaller breast.

That means you have the wrong size! Find a professional who can actually measure you, and get the right bra size. If you paid to have this measurement done, get your money back.

It's best to try some on. I have a prominent rib cage so that affects measurements. I suggest you try a 36AA in a few different brands. Remember if the band is not quite right, you can fasten it tighter or looser with its hooks. We all get "bloated" days.

Try both sizes and pick whichever one fits better, that way it will be more comfortable on your body.

Do not "think" you are a particular size. Measure your band and breasts to get the right size. You may also need to try different brands to get the correct fit.

It depends on where you are shopping. Some stores don't have bras in the kids' section that measure up to a B. Look in both sections to see what fits you best.

You would be a 32 F approximately, but you could also be a 32 E/DDD, depending on the company. Look around at different bras. You would fit into a 34 DD.

If he was a professional measurer and didn't do or say anything inappropriate, then it should be fine. Most measurers will measure you topless or with a thin shirt on.

If you measured 29 inches in your under bust, you are a 34 band size. If you measured 36 inches at your bust's fullest, going down from the 34 band size, you are a C-cup. So you are a 34C.

It depends on what store you go to. Some stores will measure you while topless, while some will do it with a thin shirt on.

If you want to get a bra, you have to take all of the measurements, but if you just want the bust, measure over the top of your nipples and that is your breast size.

This likely isn't related to the size. You could be over-washing your bra, the material could be wearing thin, or the bra could have a defect.

I have a lot of friends like that, just ignore them. Next time you see them and they make fun of you just say, "So? I don't care about what you think about me." Also, talk about this to an older sister or mom, even a friend.

Your size is 26A. You should probably stick with training bras or bras for tweens/teens.

If you are developed enough to wear one, then yes. Try on some different kinds of bras and see what fits best and what you find most comfortable.

Just ask a salesperson if the store offers bra fittings. If it does, an associate will take you through the process.

You can keep your "waist" (band) size the same and just go up a cup size and see how that fits. Just keep in mind that different brands will sometimes be sized slightly differently.

Check for a return policy, that way you can always return them if they don't fit. If there isn't one, wait until you have determined your size before buying them.

It shouldn't matter. The place right under your breast shouldn't move when you breathe, only your stomach should.

Try 32 E. At a specialist lingerie store, they will give you a professional fitting if you ask for one.
