When it comes to bra sizing, there are numerous different sizing charts used around the world. So to get the right size, it’s important to not only know the conversions between cup sizes, but also the band size measurements to get the perfect fit.
- Check for conversion charts: Many international stores offer size conversion charts for bras on their websites. Utilize these charts to find the equivalent size in your country.
- Consider the brand: Different brands may have different sizing systems, so it’s important to check the specific brand’s size chart before making a purchase.
- Try on if possible: If you have the opportunity to try on the bra before purchasing, take advantage of it. The best way to find the right fit is to physically try on the bra.
- Pay attention to the fit: When trying on bras, pay attention to the fit around the band and the cups. If there is spillage or gaps, it’s a sign that the bra is not the right size.
- Look for adjustable features: Bras with adjustable straps and hooks can help you achieve a customized fit. Consider purchasing bras with these features when shopping from international stores.
- Keep track of brands that fit well: Make a note of the brands and styles that fit you well in the past. When shopping from international stores, look for these brands and styles to find a similar fit.

Tips for finding perfect-fitting bras
When shopping for bras, it’s difficult to get the perfect fit if you do not know your measurements well. Here are a few tips to get the right fit.
- Measure well. It’s important to get an accurate measurement of your bust size in order to find a bra that fits correctly. Not sure where to go? Most lingerie stores offer a complimentary fitting service.
- Pay attention to the band. The band is the most important part of the bra, so make sure it fits snugly but comfortably. If it’s too loose, it won’t provide the necessary support.
- Look for bras with adjustable straps. Adjustable straps are great for getting the perfect fit. They also provide more support and make it easier to find the right size.
- Make sure the center panel lies flat. The center panel of the bra should always lie flat against your chest. If it’s not, it’s likely the wrong size.
- Check the cup size. The cup size of the bra should fit your bust comfortably. If it’s too small or too large, it won’t be supportive or comfortable.
- Test the fabric. The fabric of the bra should be soft and comfortable against the skin. If it’s too rough or too stretchy, it won’t provide the right support.
- Try it on. It’s always important to try on the bra before buying it to make sure it fits and feels right. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
How to use the bra size conversion charts?
Using the above bra size conversion chart is easy. For example, if you’re on an online store that shows EU sizes follow the steps below:
- First, check the US cup size of the bra you already have and are comfortable in.
- Use the above chart to find the cup size under the US column.
- Find the EU cup size in the same row under the Europe column.
This will help you choose the right size for your bra when shopping at international lingerie stores.
How to measure yourself for the perfect fitting bra?
Great, let’s now see how to find the perfect bra size. There are two measurements you’ll need to take: bust and under-bust. These two measurements will help determine your band size and cup size, respectively.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding your American bra size:
- Under-bust measurement: Measure the circumference of your ribcage, just under your bust. Round this measurement to the nearest whole number. For example, if you get a measurement of 33.5 inches, round it up to 34 inches.
- Band size: Measure the under-bust measurement and round up to a whole integer. After rounding, if it’s even, add 4 inches. If it’s odd, add 5 inches to get the US band size. For example, if the measured under-bust is 29 inches, your band size is 34.
- Bust measurement: Measure the fullest part of your bust and round to the nearest whole number.
- Cup size: Measure the bust size and round to the whole number. Then calculate the difference between bust and band size then check the following list.
Bust – Band size – Difference (in inches) | Cup size |
---|---|
0 – 1/2″ | AA |
1/2 – 1″ | A |
1 – 2″ | B |
2 – 3″ | C |
3 – 4″ | D |
4 – 5″ | E (DD) |
5 – 6.5″ | F (DDD) |
6.5 – 8″ | G |
8 – 9.5″ | H |
9.5 – 11″ | I |
11 – 13″ | J |
13 – 15″ | K |
So, if your band size is 31 inches and your bust is 34 inches, the difference is 3 inches, which means your cup size is C.
Remember, some brands use the difference between bust and under-bust measurements instead of bust and band size, so it’s always best to check the specific brand’s size chart before purchasing.
