This difference will determine the bra size for every inch of difference cup size increases. I am now in a 32dd minimiser from ms and its like a glove and i have finally found bra peace. Ive always been a 34bc but have never really found a really comfy bra. The reason for this is an old fitting method where they take your back measurement and add 4 5 inches to get the back size.

I need a new bra so popped my measurements into the bob calculator. Please enter your measurements below to calculate your boob or bust recommended starting size. This results in an unsupportive and often painful bra normally much too big in the back and too small in the cup. Next subtract your band size from this bust measurement.

Then measure around the fullest part of your chest. Subtract the adjusted band measurement you found in step 4 from the cup measurement you measured in step 5. Take the measurement in inches and round it up to the nearest inch. The underwire in your bra can hurt if its sitting on your breast tissue or armpit rather than your ribcage.
