function calculateBraSize() { var underBust = parseFloat(document.getElementById('underBustMeasurement').value); var fullBust = parseFloat(document.getElementById('fullBustMeasurement').value); var resultDiv = document.getElementById('braSizeResult'); if (isNaN(underBust) || isNaN(fullBust) || underBust <= 0 || fullBust <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter valid positive numbers for both measurements."; resultDiv.style.color = '#d9534f'; return; } if (fullBust < underBust) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Your full bust measurement cannot be less than your under-bust measurement. Please re-check your inputs."; resultDiv.style.color = '#d9534f'; return; } // Calculate Band Size (Victoria's Secret often rounds up to the nearest even number) var calculatedBandSize = Math.ceil(underBust); if (calculatedBandSize % 2 !== 0) { calculatedBandSize += 1; } // Ensure band size is at least 30, as VS typically starts there for most styles if (calculatedBandSize < 30) { calculatedBandSize = 30; } // Calculate Cup Size var cupDifference = fullBust – calculatedBandSize; // Use calculated band size for cup difference var cupSize = ''; if (cupDifference = 0.5 && cupDifference = 1.5 && cupDifference = 2.5 && cupDifference = 3.5 && cupDifference = 4.5 && cupDifference = 5.5 && cupDifference = 6.5 && cupDifference = 7.5 && cupDifference = 8.5 && cupDifference = 9.5 && cupDifference < 10.5) { // 9.5 to 10.49 inches cupSize = 'J'; } else { cupSize = 'K+'; // For very large differences } resultDiv.innerHTML = "Your estimated Victoria's Secret bra size is: " + calculatedBandSize + cupSize + ""; resultDiv.style.color = '#333'; // Reset color in case of previous error }

Find Your Perfect Fit: Victoria's Secret Bra Measurement Guide

Finding the right bra size is crucial for comfort, support, and how your clothes fit. While many brands have their own sizing nuances, Victoria's Secret, a popular choice for many, follows a specific method. Our Victoria's Secret Bra Measurement Calculator helps you determine your estimated size, giving you a great starting point for your next lingerie purchase.

Why Accurate Bra Sizing Matters

An ill-fitting bra can lead to discomfort, poor posture, and even health issues like back and shoulder pain. A well-fitting bra, on the other hand, enhances your silhouette, provides proper support, and boosts your confidence. Victoria's Secret bras are designed with specific measurements in mind, so understanding their sizing system is key to enjoying their styles.

How to Measure Yourself for Victoria's Secret

To get the most accurate results from our calculator, follow these steps carefully. You'll need a soft tape measure.

1. Under-Bust Measurement (Band Size):
   • Stand upright, wearing a lightly lined or unpadded bra (or no bra at all).
   • Wrap the tape measure snugly around your rib cage, directly under your bust. Ensure the tape is level all the way around your back.
   • Breathe out completely to get the smallest measurement.
   • Record this number in inches. This is your under-bust measurement.
2. Full-Bust Measurement (Cup Size):
   • While still standing, wrap the tape measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust (usually across the nipples).
   • Make sure the tape is level and not too tight or too loose.
   • Record this number in inches. This is your full-bust measurement.

Understanding Victoria's Secret Sizing Logic

Victoria's Secret, like many brands, determines your bra size by combining your band and cup measurements. Here's a simplified breakdown of how our calculator estimates your VS size:

• Band Size: Your under-bust measurement is typically rounded up to the nearest even number. For example, if you measure 30.5 inches, your band size would likely be 32. If you measure 32 inches, it remains 32. Victoria's Secret generally starts their band sizes at 30.
• Cup Size: The difference between your full-bust measurement and your calculated band size determines your cup letter. Each inch of difference corresponds to a cup size:
  • ~1 inch difference = A cup
  • ~2 inches difference = B cup
  • ~3 inches difference = C cup
  • ~4 inches difference = D cup
  • ~5 inches difference = DD cup
  • ~6 inches difference = DDD (F) cup
  • And so on…

Using the Calculator

Simply enter your measured under-bust and full-bust measurements into the fields above. Click "Calculate My Bra Size," and the tool will provide an estimated Victoria's Secret bra size based on common fitting guidelines.

Tips for a Perfect Fit

Remember that bra sizing can vary slightly between styles and even within the same brand. Use this calculator as a guide, and consider these tips when trying on bras:

• The Band is Key: The band provides about 80% of the bra's support. It should be snug and level across your back, not riding up. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the band.
• Cups Should Fit Smoothly: There should be no gaping or overflowing. Your breast tissue should be fully enclosed within the cups.
• Straps are for Support, Not Lift: Straps should feel comfortable and not dig into your shoulders. If they're doing all the lifting, your band is likely too loose.
• Try Different Styles: A T-shirt bra might fit differently than a push-up or a bralette. Don't be afraid to try a few different styles in your calculated size.

While our calculator provides a strong estimate, an in-store fitting with a professional can offer personalized advice, especially if you're between sizes or have unique needs. Happy bra shopping!
