If You Don’t Have a Tape Measure

 

If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a piece of string or ribbon and a ruler.

 

The string or ribbon should be about as long as you are tall.

 

STEP ONE:

• While wearing a bra, take string or ribbon and place it under your breasts

• Loop the string around your back until it comes back around and meets the start of the string.

• Pull snugly.

 

STEP TWO:

• Place your thumb at the point where the string ends meet under your breasts.

• Keeping your thumb in place, line the string up with a ruler and measure its length.

• This measurement will represent your band measurement.

 

STEP THREE:

• Place the string, so it lies across the widest part of your bust. 

• Loop it around your back until it meets the start of the tape. 

• DO NOT PULL TOO TIGHT.

 

STEP FOUR:

• Place your thumb at the point where the string ends meet at your bust.

• Keeping your thumb in place, line the string up with a ruler and measure its length.

• This measurement will represent your bust measurement.

 

STEP FIVE: Enter your underbust and bust measurements into the appropriate boxes in the bra calculator.

Caution: The bra size the calculator gives you may not be entirely accurate. It should only be used as a starting point. This is because the calculator doesn’t consider the shape of your breasts or other bra-fitting factors. For best results, consult a bra fit specialist by booking a virtual or in-store consultation.
