What’s your Bra Size?

Find a tape measure, a trusted friend, and use our chart below!
1.  While wearing your best fitting unpadded bra, measure your rib cage by pulling the tape measure snug, but not tight, around your rib cage just under the breasts. [ Example: 36 inches] The reason we say to wear a bra is that your measurement will differ when you are lifted in a bra.
2.    Next, measure around the fullest part of your breasts (over the nipples; at the apex). [Example: 40 inches]
3.   Use the chart below and find where those two measurements intersect. [36C]
•    If you measure an odd number under the ribcage (31, 33, etc), we would recommend that for comfort purposes, you follow the sizes shown in the chart. You may be in between band sizes, so your size may also depend on the fit of the bra.
•    Also, if the chart list 2 cup sizes, we would again recommend that for comfort purposes that you go up and use the larger cup size.
•    We go in half-inch increments in the smaller sizes because those half-inches make a difference in the sizing of smaller cups.
•    Once you find your size, choose your size bra type and bra from the Prima Donna Collection. See Bra Brands by Cup Size and Type. 

We came up with this size chart using the guidelines below.

Using a tape measure, while wearing your best fitting unpadded bra, measure your rib cage by pulling the tape measure snug, but not tight, around your rib cage just under the breasts. If you are an odd number, add 1. That number is your band or bra size. Use the chart below.

While wearing your bra, measure around the fullest part of your bust. The difference in inches between your rib cage measurement and full bust measurement indicates the cup size.
