Heeeey girly,
I got measured at 5wks po 32D,
Now at 9wks that felt tight and a 32E fit me then so i wore that!
now at 11wks my nips are popping out and dont feel comfy so measured myself as im bit concious bout scars!
I measure 28“ under bust (little under) and 35“ over boooobbbiiieeees
What size does that make me?!
God im a freeeeakkk xx
Btw i wanna say tina2011 ur an absolutely lovely ladie!! What u have done today is total selfless act and u need recognised for that!!
No idea, I am 28 and 32 which is apparently 32a but def don’t look it. Going by that I would say 32d but that doesn’t sound right. x
That’s more like it, thanks Clare x
That measures u as a 32d backsize if u measure an even number u add 4 to get backsize if odd number u add 5 then measure round bust if u measure same as backside ur an A 1 inch is a B 2 inch is C and so on implants measure diff to natural boobs so it’s whatever fits best really xx
Hmmmmm
Clare that says im a 32C lol! Im bursting out me E cup bra hmmmm
This is hard
xx
BOnz that calc makes me a 32C lol, there noway that fits me!!
Sooo confusing!!
Madhead 32D dont fit me either far too small lol xxx
Ignore that calculator then Fairy. It would appear it is Shi*e. I’m 32FF and it doesn’t even seem to register a FF. Sorry Hun!
C xx
CLare is it measuring u wrong too hun?
Or maybe we are a D in real boobs but cos we are plastique lol they are bigger!!
Hmmm looks like im gonna have to bite the bullet and get me chebs oot again lol xx
Madhead has confused the hell out of me lol!!!
Defo not a 32 C hun no way!!! Just go with what feels and looks best hun xx
Right, this seems to explain it quite well. Tape measures poised girls……
Measuring Guide
To check your bra size, you need only take two measurements which are:
1. Underbust Measurement
Measure under your bust and:
add 4ins. if the measurement obtained is an even number of inches or
add 5ins. if the measurement obtained is an odd number of inches.
(For example, if your underbust measurement is 31ins., add 5ins. to obtain bra size 36, or, if your underbust measurement is 30ins. add 4ins. to obtain bra size 34.)
2. Overbust Measurement
Measure round the fullest part of your bust to determine cup size.
If the bust measurement is:
same as your bra size, your Cup size is A.
1in. more gives Cup size B
2in. more gives Cup size C
3in. more gives Cup size D
4in. more gives Cup size DD
5in. more gives Cup size E
and so on through F, FF and G
An example:
Underbust measurement of
29in. + 5in. = bra size 34
Overbust measurement of
34in. = Cup A
So the correct fitting would be 34A
What should a correctly fitted bra look like?
•Cups – breasts should be comfortably encased in the cups with no bulging or gaping at the top or the sides. Wires should lie flat against the rib cage and not dig in.
•Band – this should be level all the way round, not riding up at the back.
•Straps – these should run parallel at the back and not dig in to the shoulders.
What should a correctly fitted bra feel like?
You should not be able to feel the wires when you move around and touch your toes. If you stretch your arms towards the ceiling, the wires should not dig in when you bring your arms back down to your sides.
These notes aim to provide a general indication of your bra size. However, the best guide is a bra you already wear which is comfortable.
Please also bear in mind that sizes do vary between manufacturers and between different styles of bra.
In addition please note that the older you are, the more generous you may need to be when you measure yourself.
Good Luck!

As fakes measure bigger than you look, maybe the calculator is telling you what you look x
RIght i get up to 28“ = 32“ back….
Buuutttt
Is it the diff between 28 & 35 or 32 & 35?
28 & 35 makes me a 32F
32 & 35 makes me a 32C
Hmmmmmm confused.com
Xxx
or maybe it is just crap. After all, surely a measurement is a measurement regardless of how it looks.
It’s all very confusing. I personally would only rely on getting a couple of professional measurements taken.
I was measured at Bravissimo and La Senza and both said 32FF. I’m happy with that!!
C xxx
LOl thanks for trying hun. Im like a thick child, why why why why lol xxx
It’s the diff between 28 & 35 hun.
e.g. I am 28 round the back and another 7 (35) around my bust. Therefore I am 32FF.
Does that make sense?
C xxx
YHe hun, so im the same, im a 28“ under and 35 over….
Im soooo dense i need.things explaied in idiot terms lol.xx
Well, they don’t exactly make it the easiest thing to get yer head around.
Anyway, regardless of my actual size, I’m off to show Mr T his good work tonight. I can’t wait to see him. I think I might end up giving him a big sloppy kiss!! 😆
C xxx
HAnds off my future hubby lol!!
Let me know how ur check goes hun!! Sassivet is there tonight too xx
That way of calculating ya boobie size dosnt work when you have fake ones girls because you are fuller on the top of ya bust.
fairy- If you measure a 28″ under and 35 over you are a 28F!!!! xxxxxx
WEeeeeey my ticky88 is back!!
28f!!!
Noway! I wouldnt think a 28 band would fit me lol!
Xxx
Only back for you girl 😉 If you measure 28″ under ya bust chick thats what you are, If you measure 28″ why would you wear something 4″ bigger than what u are lol. xx

Ah i always thought that u know!! I thought why would u add 4“ lol!
Im gonna go,try some on at wknd! No wonder my bra never fits me right or sit right on me!
Ur a star little ticky!! Come to me rescue again, xxxx
Ticky how did you get to the F from 35 tho? The 28 thing makes sense because it just does but the F?? xx
What would u say bonz, have u worked out diff?? Xx
I don’t understand all this measuring I just alway wear what I think I am X
i jus measured myself n according to the guide on ere im a 32E lol
ooo ive just dun this test at work with string and a ruler (so organised in my office lol) i usually wear a 34b but today im in my super boost bra… and i measure 34.1 inch under my bra, and around the fullest part 37inch which is a d cup….sooo in my padded air boost bra i must look a 34d

bigger boooooooo lol x
Cheers laura lol im daft! Im popping out me 32E n it just dont feel comfy maybe cos i have wrong band on!! Xx
Hey Fairy,
You should not be getting a 28 bra. 28 inches equates to size 32.
For example, I measure 30 inches under my boobs and at a size 12 there is no way I could get in that a 30 bra! I wear 34/36.
I put your measurments into la senza’s online measurement guide and it says your 32D
http://www.lasenza.co.uk/customerservices/CustomerServices.aspx?d=customerservices&cs=sizingguide
xx
LOool claire im even more
cos i dont fit 32E properly it too small 
Think im gonna have to bite bullet and go get measured! Xx
Bonz- there is a difference of 7 between her under bust and over bust, for every 1 difference its a cup size x
Wow have you not even gone to get measured yet? How have you had the willpower lol I’m dying to do it already!! To be honest I think the shops always measure bigger – I remember getting measured a 34 B years ago but doing it online before my op I was coming up at about 34 AA! I would imagine the shops are more accurate as the assistants know what they’re doing xx
I was measured at 5wks as a 32D, but that felt tight as by week 9, so tried a 32DD still too tight, bought an E which was fine, now its too tight!
For som reason now i have developed a shyness bout getting measured!! Sounds daft but i have!
I really should go do it, as im not cumfy at all xxx
Aw you should be proud of getting those bad boys out now!!
If you do go and get measured, once they’ve measured you get a bra to try on and get them to check the fitting on you xxx
l was told by Ann summers that they do not add 4inches as u would not wear ur bra under ur armpit. 4 inches are added as this is the biggest part of ur back. Hope this makes sense.
x
pmsl ok jus put my measurements into la senza n it ses a 32B!! haha a 34C bra gives me mega double boobage so either im measuring wrong or la senzas size guide is wrong lmao 😆
Thanks Ticky now I get it lol, and Fairy just got for it as at least you will get the right fitted bra and be comfy!!!
Vicky, That doesnt make sense to me
sowy xx
