Hello People,

I don't know if this will help you but, in my searches I always find material that refers to measurements in inches which confuses me a lot. However, I managed to find a very helpful page which helps you identify your size in centimetres! :)

Hope it is of use to others as much as it helped me,

hi, interesting site thanks for posting
According to that site im a big 30D or small 30DD, also according to the woman at la senza im a 30D but they feel way to tight for me so i actually wear a 32C, which i think is right unless the band on your bra is supposed to be realllllly tight.

The site is wrong about the metric band sizes. I live in a metric country and the underbust measurement in cm is equal to the band size, you do NOT subtract 5 cm from the underbust measurement to get the band size. They are the same.

Hey Milani, Thanks for responding :) I posted it cos I'd been baffled for awhile! I am only a 10 in dress size but when it comes to bras, I can't squish into even a 12! Yowch! and I'm quite skinny! After reading that, it all made sense.

Lisa, Where on the page does it say to subtract 5cm to find your band size? *wondering*

Where im from i think we take the measurement and then plus 5 to get the band size. e.g im 27inches around (under) so i plus 5inches which makes me a 32 band size.

This is a calculator I found to be quite good.
