To measure your cup size accurately, start by wearing a non-padded bra and having a measuring tape handy. First, measure around your ribcage, right under your bust, to find your band size. Make sure the tape is snug and straight. Round to the nearest whole number. If it's odd, add 5 inches; if it's even, add 4, to get your band size. Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band size from this bust measurement. The difference in inches will determine your cup size, with each inch representing one cup size increase.
