The band size refers to the measurement taken just below the bust. This is measured by simply
extending the dress making tape around the torso at the point where the band will sit.
Measurements will need to be converted into Australian sizes – for example, if you measured
70 cm or 32 inches, you are likely to require a size 10 bra. Please see the chart below:
The second measurement that should be taken is done just above the bust. This measurement
gives an indication of whether the woman has broad shoulders or narrow shoulders and upper
torso. Taking this measurement can help to determine the size cup needed. If two women
measure the same size at the mid bust point, but one has a much narrower torso, then this
means that the actual cup size she will need is going to be larger than a woman with a broader
torso.
Cup size
Measuring your bust size requires you to wrap a measuring tape around the centre of your bust,
which is usually the nipples. Subtract your band size from your bust size to determine your cup
size. Cup sizes are described using letters with the smallest size starting at A and working
upward. Considered alongside the band measurement and the measurement above the bust,
this helps to determine the right size cup to fit you correctly. If this is too big or too small, then
the bra will either be loose, or you’ll end up with unflattering silhouette line where the breast is
being squeezed over the top of the bra.
