What you will need: A bra and a measuring tape

STEP 1: Measure band

Wearing a bra that you are most comfortable in, take a tight measurement around your ribcage in centimeters, directly under your breasts. Note this band measurement.

STEP 2: Measure bust size

Take a full measurement of your bust size over the fullest part of your bosom in centimeters. Note this bust measurement.  

STEP 3: Get difference 

Subtract bust measurement from band measurement and get the difference. Use band measurement to choose your size from 32 to 42 and use the difference to select the right cup.
