Step 1: Find your band size
Standing in front of a mirror, wrap the tape measure snugly around your chest, just under or at the crease beneath your breasts and flush against your back. Check in the mirror to make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and flat across your back. You may need a friend or partner to help. Record this measurement in inches and write it down. Now you'll need to do some basic math to find your proper band size.
If the number is even, add 4 to get your band size If the number is odd, add 5 to get your band size
Example: If you wrote down 32, add 4 and your band size will be 36.
Step 2: Find your cup size
Now, standing in front of the mirror as before, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your breasts (at the nipple). The tape measure should be straight, parallel to the floor and flat across your back. Record this measurement in inches and write it down. Take this number and subtract your band size measurement from it. The difference will tell you what your cup size is, based on the following chart.
Example: If your Band measurement is 35, and your new measurement, from the fullest part of your breast is 38, the difference is 3, and your cup size is "C".
That's it! Your band size, along with the cup size determined from the chart is your new bra size. Based on the example above, if your band measurement was 38 and your cup measurement was 35 - you would be a 38 C.
Panties
Avoid panty lines and uncomfortable "riding up" by finding your proper panty size! It only takes a couple of minutes and the results will ensure ultimate comfort. Remember, your panty size may differ from your pant size due to manufacturer differences.
You'll need to take 2 simple measurements: your waist and hips. You'll need a soft tape measure and a mirror to ensure the accuracy.
Step 1: Measure your waist
Wrap the tape measure snugly, but without cinching, around the natural indentation or break at your waist. If you can'¢t find this curve, bend to the side and the crease will show you where to measure. This is your waist measurement. Write it down, you'll need it in a moment.
Step 2: Measure your hips
Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips. Use the mirror to make sure the tape measure is straight completely around. The tape measure should be snug and parallel to the floor. Write this down as well.
Match your numbers to the chart to see your proper panty size.
Example: If your waist measured 28, and your hips measured 37, your panty size will be wither Medium or Size 6.
Shapewear
To measure properly for Shapewear, you'll need 3 basic measurements: waist, hips and panty size. Shapewear varies in control levels, all the way from "light control" to "extra firm control". Regardless of your control preference, you'll need to find your proper size to get just the right fit. Shapewear that is properly sized, creates smooth lines and a more toned appearance under clothes of all types, so get a pencil and your soft measure to find the right size for you. You may want to stand in front of a mirror to make sure the tape measure stays straight.
Step 1: Measuring your waist
Wrap the tape measure snugly, but without cinching, around the natural indentation or break at your waist. If you can't find this curve, bend to the side and the crease will show you where to measure. This is your waist measurement. Write it down, you'll need it in a moment.
Step 2: Measure your hips
Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips. Use the mirror to make sure the tape measure is straight completely around. The tape measure should be snug and parallel to the floor. Write this down as well.
Use the above chart for Panty Sizes.
Now that you have your waist, hip, and panty size, simply reference the chart below to determine the right Shapewear size for you.
Example: If your waist measured 28", and your hips 37", and your panty size is 6, your Shapwear size will be Medium.
