You only need a soft measuring tape. Here is exactly where to measure.
Wrap the tape firmly under your bust, directly on your ribcage. The tape should be snug and horizontal — not slanting up at the back. This measurement (in cm or inches) gives you your band size.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust — usually across the nipple line. The tape should be parallel to the floor and comfortably snug. This measurement, combined with your underbust, determines your cup size.

The most common questions about UK bra sizing — answered simply.
To find your UK bra size: wrap a soft measuring tape firmly under your bust (on your ribcage) — that gives your band size. Then measure around the fullest part of your bust. Enter both numbers into our UK bra calculator and it works out your size instantly. You can measure in cm or inches.
Sister sizes are alternative UK bra sizes that have the same cup volume but a different band length. For example, 34D, 36C and 32E are all sister sizes — the cup holds the same amount, only the band length changes. If your exact size is sold out, a sister size will feel similar.
UK bra bands are measured in inches (28, 30, 32...) while EU sizes use centimetres (60, 65, 70...). UK cup letters also differ from European ones — UK DD = EU E, UK E = EU F, and so on. Our calculator shows both your UK and EU equivalent size.
Bra fitting experts recommend remeasuring every 6 to 12 months, or whenever you notice a significant weight change, after pregnancy, or after surgery. Up to 80% of UK women are wearing the wrong size, so it's worth checking regularly.
