I normally get my boyfriend to help me measure, if I've noticed a big change in size.

I use the sizing instructions that are on the inside of a sears catelogue, which say nothing about adding 4.Health Question & Answer

Okay, you really need to go to a fitter to get the perfect sizing for you.

I can tell you that bra sizes for example 36B, the 36 means the measurement of your chest (putting a soft measuring tape the whole way around your chest over your nipples). The Letters define the amount of inches in which your nipple is away from your body. A would be one inch, B would be 2 inches and so on.Health Question & Answer

The band size is the measurement around your chest, just under your breasts. The cup size is the difference between that number and the measurement around your breasts level with the nipples.
Less than 1 inch = AA cup
1 inch = A cup
2 inches = B cup
3 inches = C cup
4 inches = D cup
5 inches = DD cup
6 inches = E cup (US DDD)
7 inches = F cup (US DDDD)
8 inches = FF cup
9 inches = G cup

Or just go to a lingerie store and get measured for free. Health Question & Answer
