Best process should be ask boyfriend to measure it by hand and then compare with the bra.
I wish I was that lucky guy to measure all the b.........s.

Finding your Bra Size
Example: first measurement is 29 inches ? that?s an odd number, so you add 5 and the bra measurement is therefore 34 inches. The 2nd (full bust) measurement is 37 inches, therefore the sum is 37-34, which gives a difference of 3 inches. This is a D cup.
3. You must remember however, that all manufacturers do not make their products in the same way, therefore it is advisable to try on the bra before you buy, as you might find your size varies slightly from shop to shop.
Properly Fitting Bras
4. A properly fitting bra should not dig into your body, if this is the case try going down a size eg. 36 inches to 34 inches. Similarly if the bra rides up at the back. If there are any bulges over or at the side of the bra, it is likey that your cup size is too small, so try the next one up.
5. A well fitting bra is firm but does not make red marks on your shoulders or ribcage, and your breasts should not bulge over the cups but be smoothly enclosed.

The size of a bra is commonly described by two values. The first is the band size (underband), a number based on the circumference of the chest under the bust, excluding the breasts. The second is the cup size given by a letter of the alphabet, and relating to the volume of the breasts themselves. For example, a 30D bra is for a 30-size band and a D-size cup. Cup sizes start with AA, the smallest, and increase through the alphabet. While there is some general agreement about the meaning of A-D, which includes the vast majority of women, cup sizes greater than D become increasingly unreliable. A double lettering system may also be used, e.g. DDD for F or AA for a size smaller than A.

I went to victoria's secret to buy a sexy bra for my wife and they were no help it all.... I told the lady that she was either 6 3/4 or
6 7/8... because she was a bit smaller than my 7 1/8 hat size...

I'ts best to get yourself properly fitted, try Debenhams, Frasers or John Lewis. Some makes of bra are sized differently too. I have also found that Marks and Spencer have never got it right.

measure just under your bust.if its an odd number add 5 inches if its an even number add 4. This will give you the number part e.g.34. Then measure round the fullest part of your bust if it is the same you are an A cup, 1 inch bigger a B cup 2inches bigger C cup etc. Hope this helps. BTW, as with everything brand and style make a difference so best to try on if you can

Its best getting it checked by someone that knows what they are doing hun, it can be embarrassing the first time, but these DIY instructions will most likely be wrong.
pop into m&s the next time you are in town.
Good luck

Try them on. If you can get one professionally fitted so that you get an idea of what it should look and feel like.
