Bra Size Calculator India: How to measure your bra size using Zivame Fitcode

Calculate your bra size

Most women find it difficult to find the right fitting bra. It’s crucial to find the right bra size because wearing an ill-fitting bra can result in a host of problems. If your bra doesn’t fit well, it can make your body shape look awkward and unflattering. It can also cause bad posture and give you back aches.

It’s very crucial to understand your size before buying a bra of any kind. If you think the bras you wear now are not comfortable, then you’re probably wearing the wrong size.

How to know if a bra fits perfectly?

What the right cup fit looks like:

    problems with bra cup fitting
  • The cups should sit snug on the breasts.
  • If your breasts are spilling out of the cup from the side or from the top, your bra cups are probably too small for your breasts. Consider increasing your bra cup size.
  • If there is a gap between the cup and your breasts or if the fabric of the bra is wrinkling in places, it means that the cup is too loose. In this case, you can consider reducing your cup size.

What the right band fit looks like:

    problems with band fitting
  • The bra band should form a straight line around the body.
  • If the band is arching at the back, the band of your bra is probably too loose. Try wearing the bra on a tighter hook. If that doesn’t work, you have to decrease your band size and increase your cup size letter. For example, if you are currently using 34B, you can try 32C.
  • If your band is digging into your skin and causing redness or marks, then your band is probably too tight. Try wearing the bra on a looser hook. If that doesn’t work, you have to increase your band size and decrease your cup size letter. For example, if you are currently using 34B, you can try 36A.

What the right straps fit looks like:

    problems with strap fitting
  • The straps should sit comfortably on the shoulder, it shouldn't be too tight or slip off the shoulder.
  • If the bra strap is falling off, tighten the straps. If that doesn’t work, try using a bra style where the bra straps are narrow such as multiway bras or full coverage bras.
  • If the bra strap is too tight, loosen the straps. If that doesn't work, chances are that the bra band is too loose and it is not giving your breasts the support it needs. Try using a smaller band size.

Here are some FAQs about bras

  1. How to wear a bra correctly ?
    • When you wear your bra on the loosest hook, the band should fit snug without being too tight or without arching up at the back. The band should rest against your ribcage without any gaps.
    • Adjust your straps so that they sit properly on the shoulders without digging in or falling off.
    • Your breasts should not spill out of the bra cups. Try positioning your breasts so that they fit properly in your bra. If they don’t fit, then you need to increase your cup size.
    • If there are gaps between your breasts and the cups, then your cup is too loose and you need to reduce your cup size.
  2. What is meant by sister bra sizes ?

    3. A sister bra size is a size where the volume of the cup stays the same while the band size may vary. For example, Suppose your bra size is 34B. The sister sizes of 34B are 36A and 32C.

    • If your bra band is tight, then you should opt for a sister size up by increasing the band size and decreasing the cup size letter
      (if your current size is 34B, then go for 36A).
    • If your bra band is loose, then you should opt for a sister size down by decreasing the band size and increasing the cup size letter
      (if your current size is 34B, then go for 32C).
  3. What are the impacts of wearing wrong bra size ?

    4. If you wear the wrong bra size, you might experience problems such as back ache, redness of skin and discomfort. It may also affect your posture. Sometimes, wearing a wrong bra size may affect your look and give your breasts an unflattering shape.

  4. How often should bra size be measured ?

    5. Your bra size can change as your body goes through various changes in your life. Weight loss or weight gain can affect your bra size. Pregnancy can also change a woman’s breast size and shape which may affect their bra size. For teenage girls, their bra size can increase as they grow up. Some women who undergo breast surgeries can also find that their bra sizes have changed.

    Measure your bra size again if you have gone through any of these changes or get a fitting done once a year. If you feel that your bra is not comfortable anymore, you can get a fit consultation at the Zivame stores or find your bra size by yourself using the bra size calculator.

  5. What is the best bra to wear?

    6. The best bra style for a woman depends on her breast shape and the bra size.

    If your breasts have less than 1 finger gap between them, then you should wear bras that have a low wire or wirefree so that the wires don’t poke your breasts. If you have greater than 2 finger gap, then you can wear bras with any kind of wiring.

    If your breasts are full and round shaped, then you should wear bras which have high coverage to prevent the breasts from spilling out of the bra cups.

    If you are on the curvy side with bra sizes bigger than D cup, then you can try minimiser bras or super support bras which are designed to give curvy women the right support. If your breasts are sagging, then you can try our No Sag bras to give your breasts just a little bit of lift.

    You can also take the Zivame Fitcode quiz or walk into any of our stores to get better recommendations on what bra you should be wearing.
