About Bra Size Calculator & Sister Size Chart

Accurate bra size calculator based on modern snug underbust measurements (no +4 band sizing). Includes sister sizes (same cup volume), international conversions (US, UK, EU, AU, FR), and fit troubleshooting.

Why do over 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size?

Most commercial retail stores still use the obsolete "+4 sizing system" invented in the 1930s when bra fabrics lacked elastane/spandex. This outdated method adds 4 inches to your underbust, forcing women into bands that are too loose (e.g. 36B) and cups that are too small, causing back pain, slipping straps, and riding-up bands.

What are sister sizes and how do they work?

Sister sizes are bra sizes that share the exact same cup volume, but with different band circumferences. If a 34D bra fits in the cup but feels too loose in the ribcage, sister sizing down to a 32DD gives you the identical cup volume with a firmer, more supportive band.

How should a properly fitted bra feel?

80% to 90% of breast support must come from the snug underbust band sitting level across your ribcage, not the shoulder straps. The center underwire (gore) should lay flat against your sternum without resting on breast tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bra Size Calculator & Sister Size Chart

What is the sister size for a 34C?

The tighter sister size is 32D (one band down, one cup up). The looser sister size is 36B (one band up, one cup down). All three hold the exact same volume of breast tissue.

Why does my bra band ride up in the back?

If the band arches up toward your shoulder blades, your band size is too large. You should try going down 1 or 2 band sizes and going up in cup size.
