Step 1: Measure your band size

First things first, you will need to identify your band size. The bra band is the part of the bra that wraps around your back. All you’ll need to measure this is a measuring tape. To identify your brand size, simply measure around the body, directly below the bust. Take note of the measurement in centimetres. Then move on to step 2.
