To measure cup size in the UK, you need two primary measurements: the band size and the bust measurement. First, measure around your ribcage, just under your bust, to get the band size. Then, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band size from the bust measurement to find the cup size, using a standard chart: 1 inch difference is an A cup, 2 inches is a B cup, etc.
