I saw the Oprah show today, and she said that 94% of women wear the wrong size bra.
Does anyone know if I can go to any store that sells Bras and get measured?
I want to find out what my real size is.

Actually what you do is measure around your ribcage just below your breasts. Take this number and add 5" to it (if it doesn't work out to an even number, round up to the next even number). This is the measurement of the band that you need. Then measure around the fullest part of your breasts. Take the difference between this number and your band measurement, and that number will correlate to the cup size that you need. For this, 1" difference is an A cup, 2" difference is a B, 3" is a C, etc.

I haven't checked other answers, but I'm sure there are numerous Victoria's Secret suggestions. For the love of all that it sexy and fits right, don't go there. It is inferior quality at best. For all of my undergarment needs, I go to Nordstrom. It is pricey, but they carry the best undergarments. Take it from a 34D, who Victoria's Secret said was a 36C. Nordstrom will fit you well. Remember to bring a couple different shirts to see what bras work best (ie. one oxford, on clingy shirt, low cut, etc.,)

You can go to any major department store. I get my fittings at Victoria's Secret. The ladies in there are really nice and very helpful. Also, Dillard's does fittings.

Victoria Secret does it. So do all the major department stores, such as Nordstrom or Macys.

you can go to victorias secret, they measure you there, or measure yourself.
1. take a measuring tape and measure right under your boobs.
2. if its an even number, add 4. if its an odd number, add 5
3. measure the fullest part your boobs.
4. subtract the under boob measurment from that number...if its
0=AA
1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=DD and so on...
hope i helped

Have you checked at La Senza/ Silk & Satin? I should hope that someone there would be able to help. They have a page on proper fittings at their website.

Just measure directly under for the inches (34-38-44) etc.
Then get one with a cup that fits you (A,B,C,D etc).
