I’m apparently a 36B..? Please. I can’t even fit a C cup bra.

In reply to Hannah. Don't add any inches to your underbust measurement. As a guess, I'd say your measurements are probably about 31 under and 35 over? That would put you in either a 30D or 32C, which are sister sizes of 34B, but you should try them out!

For some reason, this measuring system gave me a 36AA, because I got -1 when I subtracted, however my bra size is a 34B. Which, I think fits WAY nicer. This measuring system is way off.

The difference between my two measurements is 11 inches. What cup is that? I wear a 40 K cup I know I should wear a 38, but there is a little more room in the 40 cup but it is not quite big enough. I do have the problem of falling out the bottom of the bra as there is a gap at the front where it does not touch me at all.

This way of measuring is absolutely incorrect. Bra sizes were measured this way befor bra bands incorporated elastic, therefor making this method out dated. The correct way, that will give you a decent shape and an even semi supportive bra is to take your underbust measurement as your band (odd numbers may go up or down, while down usually fits better; however 27 and under don’t have that option) and then calculate your cups size. I measure 27 under and 34-35 over and wear a 28 E/F UK. it fits MUCH better than the 32 c I measure at Victoria’s Secret and cant fit half my breast into and better even than the 32 DD that I bought from Victoria’s Secret an still spilt out of. Anyone having issues and thinking bras are just uncomfortable should try tho method and visit Figleaves.com. And Invest in your chest’s blog is helpful for problems too

Should one be wearing a bra or not for finding the correct size?

Mary, 32C and 34B are sister sizes…essentially, both sizes will fit the same measurements, although one might fit better or worse depending on the unique body shape of an individual. This way of measuring isn’t perfect, but it gives you a start-off point, and after that you can move up or down a sister size until you find the perfect fit.

I disagree with this style of measuring because it gives me the wrong size. According to the under the bust style, I am a 34B. However, a B cup is too small for me. I prefer the under the armpit measurement, which gives me a 32C, which fits perfectly.
