Definition: This calculator estimates your bra cup size based on your frame measurement (underbust) and bust measurement (fullest part of the bust), providing results for the US, Australia, and UK sizing systems.
Purpose: It helps users find the correct bra cup size by calculating the difference between bust and frame measurements, ensuring a better fit and comfort.
The calculator uses the following formula:
\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Bust Measurement} - \text{Frame Measurement} \] The difference determines the cup size based on the following table:
Difference (in [cm]) | Cup Size (US) | Cup Size (Australia) | Cup Size (UK) |
---|---|---|---|
< 1 [2.5] | AA | AA | AA |
1 [2.5] | A | A | A |
2 [5.1] | B | B | B |
3 [7.6] | C | C | C |
4 [10.2] | D | D | D |
5 [12.7] | DD/E | DD | DD |
6 [15.2] | DDD/F | E | E |
7 [17.8] | DDDD/G | F | F |
8 [20.3] | H | G | FF |
9 [22.9] | I | H | G |
10 [25.4] | J | I | GG |
11 [27.9] | K | J | H |
12 [30.5] | L | K | HH |
13 [33] | M | L | J |
14 [35.6] | N | M | JJ |
15 [38.1] | O | N | K |
16 [40.6] | P | O | KK |
17 [43.2] | Q | P | L |

Calculating your bra size is crucial for:
Examples:
Q: What if my measurements are in between sizes?
A: The calculator rounds the difference to determine the closest cup size. You may need to try bras in adjacent sizes for the best fit.
Q: Why do cup sizes differ between countries?
A: Different countries use varying sizing standards, especially for larger cup sizes, leading to differences in labeling (e.g., US DDD/F is E in Australia).
Q: Can I use this calculator without a measuring tape?
A: Yes, you can use a string to measure, then measure the string with a ruler or compare it to a standard object (e.g., a credit card is 3.5 inches long).
