Dear Brooklyn Fox, Somehow I made it to age 27 with out knowing my bra size! How can find out what my proper size is?

Dear Sizing it up in Sheepshead Bay,
Well first off your bra size will be a combination of your cup size (A, B C, D etc) and your band size (32, 34, 36, 38 etc). You will need a tape measure.
Measure around your rib cage right under your bust. If the measurement is:
27"-29" it suggests a band size of 32
29"-32" suggests band size 34
33"-34" suggests band size 36
35"-39" suggests band size 38
Now measure around the fullest point of the breast while wearing a (non-padded) bra. Subtract the band size (the number you just calculated above) from the cup measurement.
A difference of 1" indicates an A cup
2" indicates an B cup
3" indicates an C cup
4" indicates an D cup
5" indicates an E cup
Simple! Right?
