Determining your American bra size can be very confusing. For starters, most women wear a bra that does not properly fit them. Beyond that, different countries use different sizing systems, adding to the confusion.

Bra Size Chart

I have a bra size calculator you can use to properly size yourself using not more than a measure tape. Once you have the correct measurements, use our US bra size conversion chart to get your breast and band size in inches and centimeters. In essence, this is a bra size calculator in inches and centimeters:

When you know your bra size, it’s relatively simple to convert that to inches. For example, if you are a 32A, that means your band is 32 inches. To determine your breast size, you’d add 1 inch to the band, meaning your breasts are 33 inches.

Each letter in a bra size is associated with an “inch” measurement that you can add to the band size to determine your bust size in inches:

  • A cup: add 1 inch to band size
  • B cup: add 2 inches to band size
  • C cup: add 3 inches to band size
  • D cup: add 4 inches to band size
  • DD / E cup: add 5 inches to band size
  • DDD / F cup: add 6 inches to band size

As you can see, figuring out your cup size in inches is not too hard once you know the formula. With centimeters, it’s a little more complicated, and you can use the chart below to see how bra sizes match up to specific centimeters.
