How do you know if your bra size is right for you?

Question

i just measured myself and used the guide on www.victoriassecret.com to work out my bra size and it says i'm a 32B. most of my bras are 34B's, some are 32C's, 32D's and i even have a 30D bra. 32C's are the most comfortable but they all fit ok i guess. how do i figure out my true bra size!! im so confused??

here are the measurements i took..
around my chest just under my arms: 31"
over my boobs at the fullest part: 34"
underbust: 27"

Answer 1

Bra making is not an exact science. Therefore, I always try on every bra before buying them. My measurements are used as a guide. The extra time spent trying on bras are worth it for me.

Answer 2

I used to work at VS. It sounds like 30D or 32C. Have you tried the Body by Victoria bras? A huge seller!!

Answer 3

31 under arms rounds to 32 band
27 under bust + 5" = 32 band (the two measurements simply confirm the band)

34 (full bust) - 32 = 2" = B

You measure to a 32B
34A has the same cup as does a 30C.

With confirmed measurements (if you're accurate) you wear a 32B

Answer 4

I'd go to any bra store close to you. They will tell you. Bras aren't inexpensive so you don't want to buy the wrong size. Good Luck!
P.S. For now, I'd just wear the comfy ones.

Answer 5

you have to measure your boobs so your bra size is 34
but i reccomand if you were looking for sports bras get a size smaller 32 because it gives you better shape for your boobs

Answer 6

that also happens to me all the time. IF you have longer shoulders ( like i do) and sometimes you have to wear bigger bras because alot of the space in the bra is gone because your shoulders take up alot of space. have a good day.

Answer 7

pretty much any bra store will give you a free bra fitting

Answer 8

I'd say 30D or 32B is your best bet.
