Sister sizes are bra sizes with the same cup volume but different band sizes. As the band size goes up, the cup letter goes down, and vice versa. This maintains the same overall volume in the cup.
Example: If your calculated size is 34C, your sister sizes would be 32D and 36B.
➀ Use a soft measuring tape and wear a lightly-lined or unpadded bra that follows the natural shape of your breasts.
➁ Measure around your ribcage directly under your bust in a straight line to get your underbust measurement, which determines your band size.
➂ Ensure the tape is snug around your ribcage. The band provides most of the support, so it needs to be tight.
➃ Keep the tape parallel to the floor by checking yourself in the mirror.
➄ Measure over the fullest part of your bust in a straight line to get your overbust measurement, which determines your cup size.
➅ Hold the tape loosely around the largest part of your breasts.
➆ Keep the tape parallel to the floor. Use a mirror or ask someone to help you.
