Bra Size Calculator — Free, From a Professional Fitter

Two measurements. Your starting size.

Grab a soft tape and about 2 minutes. Measure snug around your ribcage directly under your bust, then level around the fullest part — no padding, tape parallel to the floor. Enter both numbers and the calculator returns a starting bra size using the method Linette has used across 20 years of professional fitting.

Snug around your ribcage, directly under your bust.

Around the fullest part, tape level and not pulled tight.

This calculator is intended as a starting point. Fit may vary depending on the style. Please refer to each product page for style-specific fit recommendations.

How do you measure your bra size at home?

The same way a fitter starts in the fitting room: with two careful tape measurements taken standing straight, breathing normally, in an unpadded bra or none. The tape should be snug but never digging, and level all the way around — a tape that rides up in back is the single most common reason home measurements miss. Done carefully, both measurements take about 2 minutes end to end.

  • 1 · Underbust

    Wrap the tape around your ribcage directly under your bust, snug against the skin. This number anchors your band — the part of the suit that does the holding.

  • 2 · Bust

    Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, level and relaxed — not pulled tight. The difference between your two numbers becomes your cup letter.

What do the band number and cup letter actually mean?

The band number is your suit’s foundation — the firm anchor around the ribcage that carries most of the weight. The cup letter is volume relative to that band, which is why a letter alone says so little: a G on a 30 band is a smaller cup than a G on a 38. Band and cup only mean something together, and that pair is exactly what the calculator returns.

The band does most of the carrying, too — about 80% of a bra’s support comes from it, which is why the method starts under the bust.

What happens after you get your number?

Join the waitlist with your size attached — the button on your result carries it over, and aggregate size counts decide which sizes are cut first. If your result falls outside bands 30–40 or cups DD–H, telling us matters double: the launch range grows in exactly the direction the waitlist points it, one declared size at a time.
