Finding the right bra size makes all the difference. A well-fitted bra supports you comfortably, improves posture and helps your clothes sit better. At Luva Huva, we make sustainably crafted bras that are designed to fit beautifully — but it starts with knowing your size.
What You’ll Need
- A soft measuring tape
- A mirror
- A non-padded bra you already find comfortable
Step 1: Measure Your Band Size
- Stand straight and wrap the tape around your ribcage, just under your bust.
- Keep it snug but not tight.
- Round the measurement to the nearest whole number in centimetres.
- If it’s an even number, that’s your band size. If it’s odd, round up to the next even number.
- Example: 79 cm becomes 80 cm.
Step 2: Measure Your Bust
- Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust.
- Make sure it’s level across your back and not pulled tight.
- Round to the nearest centimetre again.
Step 3: Find Your Cup Size
Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. The difference gives you your cup size:
| Difference (cm) | Cup Size |
|---|---|
| 10–12 | A |
| 13–14 | B |
| 15–17 | C |
| 18–20 | D |
| 21–23 | DD |
| 24–25 | E |
| 26–27 | F |
For example, if your bust is 95 cm and your band is 80 cm, the difference is 15 cm, which means a C cup. Your size is 80C.
Step 4: Check the Fit
Try on your bra and look for these signs of a good fit:
- The band sits flat against your ribcage without riding up.
- The cups fully hold your breasts without gaping or spilling.
- The straps rest comfortably on your shoulders without digging in.
- You can fit two fingers under the band and one under each strap.
If it doesn’t feel right, adjust the straps or try a different size. Every fabric and style fits a little differently, especially with natural materials like bamboo and organic cotton.
