Band size (also called frame size) is a number that indicates the circumference around the women`s torso, under or over her bust. If your bra size is 36D, 36 is your band size.

Band size can be measured both over and under the bust. We recommend that you measure under the bust. That is the easiest way to measure.

How to Measure Band Size?

Simply measure all the way around your torso with a measuring tape, just below your bust. You will get the best result if you keep your arms down and close to the body while measuring (get help from somebody else, if possible).

Use a measuring tape showing inches if you want to find your US or UK bra size, or use a measuring tape showing centimeters if you need your French (FR) or European (EU) bra size.

Your band size is...

Inches: If you get an even number (i.e. 30 inches), add 4 to this number, and you will get your band size (34 in our example).

If you got an odd number (i.e. 31), add 3 to this number, and you will get your band size (34 in our example).

Centimeters: Round up or down to closest 5 (if you got 73 cm, round up to 75 cm, if you got 72, round down to 70). Then add 10 cm, and this will be your band size (85 and 80 in our examples).
