How do you pick the right size of balconette bra?Size is everything when choosing a bra for comfort that will last all day. You will need to take two measurements to account for the band and the cup in front of a mirror with a measuring tape while wearing a bra without any padding. Place the measuring tape evenly and horizontally and hold firmly without pinching or squishing. Follow the steps listed below:
- To find band size: Place measuring tape around your body beneath your armpits and around the front just above the breasts. Round your measurement to the nearest inch. If you have an odd number, go down one to the closest even number. This is your band number.
- To find cup size: Place measuring tape around fullest part of the breasts. Subtract the band number from this to find your cup size using the difference between the two measurements. A difference of 2 inches is a B, 3 inches a C, 4 inches a D, 5 inches a DD, 6 inches a DDD, 7 inches an F, 8 inches a G, and 9 inches an H.
