How do I accurately weigh my bra size?
Answers: The standard measuring system that you commonly hear about, which requires you to add 4 or 5 inches to your under-bust breadth, does not work at all. It would put me at 34B or 34C, whereas I actually wear a 30F or 30FF. It is not extraordinary to go for a bra fitting wearing a 36D and come out in a 32F.
The best approach to estimate your bra size from your measurements is to take your under-bust/ribcage measurement, and round it to the nearest even number. This should be your leash size. It's a bit more difficult to accurately calculate your cup size from your measurements. The best way to find out is to try some bras on. For example if you are wearing a 34C at the moment, and your under-bust height is 30 inches, then you'll probably need a 30DD. You inevitability to go up by one cup size for every band size you budge down, because the cups are sized relative to the band.
You might be surprised by the size you get - 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra, and most citizens are wearing a band at least one size too big. If everyone wore correctly fitting bras, the average woman would be within a 34DD.
You will be able to tell if you enjoy the right band size when you can only in recent times fasten it, but it is still comfortable. If you are able to comfortably press together it on the tightest adjustment, it's too big.

I was disappointed to see that zoggi_the_mouse's response had gotten two thumbs-down votes, so I a short time ago wanted to chime in and agree near her:
Adding 4-5" to your under-bust measurement to get nouns size, or measuring above your breasts (as many, abundant fitters and websites will recommend), is outdated and inaccurate. This 'traditional' method puts me in a 32DD or 34C, respectively - a strip two to three sizes too big (I wear a 28). I think a big reason why measure yourself doesn't give you a size that fits is that you're using an inaccurate method to digit your size.
That said, of course measuring yourself (even a more accurate track!) will not always give you a fitted bra. Each bra company manufacture their bras slightly differently, even from style to style. You can use measurements as a starting point and try on sizes within a range. (If your measurements put you surrounded by a 30D, for example, you might want to try on 30C-DD and even 32B-D.).
There are two numbers. The first (32, 34, 36, etc) is how wide your ribcage, back, etc is around. The second portion (A, B, C, D, etc) is the cup size, which is how wide and large your boobs are. You can own someone at the bra section of the store you are shopping at measure you...or you can try the guessing method. First try on a bra size that you contemplate is close to what would fit. Then see how it fits. Is it too tight or loose? Or it fits, but the boobs sorta stick out and are too big for it. Based on how it fits, you will know whether to change from say 32B to 34B or close to 34B to 34C. Once you find a size that seems to work, find a fit you like. http://www.amplebosom.com/acatalog/Measu...
I've never gone wrong using this sizing chart as a guideline. I even use it TODAY and its still right on target.
Just remember bras are not standardized, so you could be a 38C surrounded by one bra, 38D in another, and 38DD in however another bra (personal experience!).
Just find one that fits and is comfortable for you..
not all bra company's cut their bras the same style. so u might be like a 32 C and when you go to try on a bra and you try on a 32 C and its to small. its not that you measured your self wrong its the cut of the bra and how the company cuts the bra.
you did method self wrong its just the cut! The best thing to do if you are not sure is be in motion to a store like Victoria's Secret and have them weigh you. That is about as accurate as it gets.
