Understanding Your Victoria's Secret Bra Size

Finding the right bra size is crucial for comfort, support, and the overall look of your clothing. Victoria's Secret, like many brands, has its own specific method for calculating bra sizes. This calculator helps you determine your size according to their guidelines, ensuring you get the best fit for their unique styles.

Why a Specific Calculator for Victoria's Secret?

Bra sizing isn't universally standardized. Different brands may use slightly different formulas for calculating band and cup sizes. Victoria's Secret often employs a method that can result in a slightly different size compared to other retailers. This calculator is tailored to their specific approach, helping you navigate their sizing charts with confidence.

How to Measure for Your Victoria's Secret Bra Size

For the most accurate results from this calculator, follow these steps carefully:

1. Underbust Measurement (Band Size):
   • Wear a lightly lined or unpadded bra, or no bra at all.
   • Stand upright and wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your rib cage, directly under your bust. Ensure the tape is level all the way around your back.
   • Breathe out fully to get the smallest measurement.
   • Record this number in inches. This is your "Underbust Measurement."
2. Fullest Bust Measurement (Cup Size):
   • While still wearing your lightly lined bra (or no bra), measure around the fullest part of your bust. This is usually across your nipples.
   • Ensure the tape is level and not too tight or too loose.
   • Record this number in inches. This is your "Fullest Bust Measurement."

Victoria's Secret Sizing Logic Explained

Our calculator applies the following logic, commonly used by Victoria's Secret:

• Band Size: Your underbust measurement is rounded to the nearest whole number. If this rounded number is even, that's your band size. If it's odd, 1 inch is added to make it an even number, which then becomes your band size. (e.g., 31.5 inches underbust rounds to 32, so band is 32. 29.1 inches underbust rounds to 29, so 1 is added to make it 30, band is 30).
• Cup Size: The difference between your fullest bust measurement and your calculated band size determines your cup letter. Each inch of difference corresponds to a specific cup size (e.g., 1 inch difference = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, 5 inches = DD cup, and so on).

Tips for the Perfect Fit

Even with a calculator, the best way to confirm your size is to try on bras. Here are some tips:

• The Band: The band should be snug and level all the way around your back, not riding up. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the band.
• The Cups: Your breasts should fill the cups without spilling over the top or sides, and there should be no gaping or wrinkling in the fabric.
• The Straps: Straps should provide minimal lift; most of the support comes from the band. They should not dig into your shoulders.
• The Center Gore: The center panel between the cups (the gore) should lie flat against your sternum.
• Scoop & Swoop: Always lean forward and scoop all breast tissue from under your arms and into the cups.

Example Calculations:

• Example 1:
  • Underbust Measurement: 30.5 inches
  • Fullest Bust Measurement: 36 inches
  • Calculation: Underbust 30.5 rounds to 31, add 1 for even = 32 (Band Size). Bust (36) – Band (32) = 4 inches difference.
  • Result: 32D
• Example 2:
  • Underbust Measurement: 33 inches
  • Fullest Bust Measurement: 38 inches
  • Calculation: Underbust 33 is odd, add 1 = 34 (Band Size). Bust (38) – Band (34) = 4 inches difference.
  • Result: 34D
• Example 3:
  • Underbust Measurement: 29.8 inches
  • Fullest Bust Measurement: 34 inches
  • Calculation: Underbust 29.8 rounds to 30 (even) = 30 (Band Size). Bust (34) – Band (30) = 4 inches difference.
  • Result: 30D

Remember, bra sizing is an art as much as a science. Use this calculator as a guide, and always try on bras to find your perfect fit!
