Measuring your Bra Size

Measuring your ribspan:

To measure your ribspan, use a soft measuring tape.  Measure from where the breast begins on one side (at the outer portion, toward the arm), all the way across the chest to where the breast tissue of the other breast ends.  The measuring tape should be placed in the "crease" area of the breast, as shown in the picture below.  This is your ribspan measurement.

Measuring your ribcage:

Ribcage measurements are taken in much the same way.  The only difference is that you will measure all the way around your chest.  Again, the measuring tape should be placed in the crease of the breast, as shown in the picture. 

If your ribcage measurement is an odd #, add 5" to get your band width.  Example: 29" ribcage + 5" = 34" band.   

If your ribcage measurement is an even #, add 4" to get your band width.  Example:  28" ribcage + 4" = 32" band.

Measuring cup size:

Using a soft measuring tape, measure from where the breast begins (in the cleavage area) to where it ends, towards the arm.  This is your cup size.  See photo below.

This video, by Dr. Jennifer Walden, show how the breasts are measured prior to breast augmentation in order to determined the correct implant size.
