It's very important for you to wear a comfortable fitting bra for many health reasons. If you are unable to visit a specialist store for an expert fitting (our recommended choice) then please follow the two easy steps below to determine your individual size.
In both the following steps make sure you are wearing your most comfortable bra (but not a padded or minimiser bra), that you are standing erect and that the tape measure is level and straight around your body. A quick check in a mirror will confirm. Take the measurements to the nearest centimetre or inch.
Step 1: Torso size
Measure around the base of your bra. This will give you your bra size.

Step 2: Bust (cup) size
Measure around your bust. Subtract your torso measurement (Step 1) from your bust measurement (Step 2). Use the table below to determine your cup size from the remainder.

Example: For a torso measurement of 92cm and bust measurement of 101cm the bra size would be an 18 and cup size ( 101 minus 92 = 9 ) would be a C.
When ordering a bra you would ask for an 18C size
