It is important to measure yourself each time you consider purchasing a new bra. Remember, your bra size can change due to age, diet or exercise. To determine your bra size follow the instructions shown below:

First measure from the middle of your chest, underneath the remaining breast where the bra band sits, to the center of your spine (diagram A).
