MEASUREMENTS FOR BRA SIZING

STEP 1. Measure Underbust

Measure around your rib cage.
Use this measurement to measure your body size eg. 78 cm size 14.

STEP 2. Measure Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Use this measurement from the table for your body size
to select your cup size eg. 96 cm = C-cup.

MEASURING TIPS

Take measurements whilst wearing a suitable bra but without outer garments.
Measure yourself holding the tape measure firmly around you.
Make no extra allowances.
If you are in between sizes we suggest you order the larger size

Myer change rooms have a very helpful chart.

Remember the basics - boob should not be spilling over cup to give that double boob look & back band should not be slipping up or cutting in as a lot of them do.

 Bras and things measure under the boobs (ribcage) and then around the boobs - they did this - as best they could with an embarressed 11 year old daughter - and then made me feel faint as she was an 8D!!!

hahaha @ chloe lucky daughter!!
I really do think the cup sizes have gone smaller though if it makes you feel any better.  I am a C but without a bra on feel flat as a tack lol.

Don't ya hate it when they discontinue your fave everyday bra.  I wore these really comfy Bendon Body Basics for years then they discontinued.  The other ones i would wear Elle Macpherson Intimates got discontinued.  I ended up finding a cheapy brand Kayser one that was almost identical and so comfy.  Pretty good for only 25 bucks.
