How to Measure Your Bra Size (UK)

You only need two measurements and a soft tape.

1. Underbust (Band)
Wrap the tape snugly around your ribcage, right under your bust. Keep it level and breathe out. This is your band size.

2. Bust (Cup)
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Keep it comfortable — not tight.

Enter both numbers in the calculator above. It uses the modern UK method (no old “add 4 inches” rule) and gives you a reliable starting size plus sister sizes.

Quick tips

  • Measure over a thin non-padded bra or no bra
  • Keep the tape level all the way round
  • Always try the size on — brands fit slightly differently

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this calculator accurate?
It gives a strong starting size using modern fitting methods. Always try the bra on and check the fit (band level, cups full, centre gore flat).

Why is my new size different from what I wear now?
Most women wear a band that is too big and a cup that is too small. A smaller band with a larger cup often feels much more supportive.

Should I measure with a bra on?
Yes — wear a thin, non-padded bra. Padded or push-up bras will make the bust measurement too big.

What are sister sizes?
Sister sizes keep the same cup volume but change the band. If the recommended band feels too tight or too loose, try the sister sizes shown by the calculator.

Do all UK brands fit the same?
No. Marks & Spencer, Bravissimo, Panache and others can fit slightly differently. Use the result as your starting point and adjust if needed.

Hi, I’m Sophie Dixon, the creator of UK Bra Size Calculator. I built this tool because I was tired of seeing women guess their bra size from outdated charts that rarely fit right. I researched UK bra fitting standards and measurement methods in depth so I could offer both the modern and traditional sizing approaches side by side – giving you an honest comparison instead of a single guess. Everything runs privately in your browser, and I’m always refining the calculator to make it more accurate.
