Where can I find an accurate bra size calculator?
I have used just about every bra size calculator I could find on the internet, and they all gave me different answers. Among them were 34A, 34B, 34C, 32D and 32DD. Obviously it is not possible to be all these sizes...so how can I find the right one? Should I just try a bunch on and go by what fits best?

The simplest way to measure for your bra size is measure you under bust, say 30 inches and you over bust in my case 45 inches. So to work out my bra size we take the 30 inches and add nothing to it. A 30 inch bra is made for a 30 inch under-bust. Then we add, I can only do this UK sizing so you will have to check the bra size converter i attached below to get it right if you are from the US
a =1 inch
b=2
c=3
d=4
dd=5
e=6
f=7
ff=8
g=9
gg=10
h=11
hh=12
j=13
jj=14
k=15
kk=16
a KK is about the biggest cup size you will find well anywhere but at custom made stores.
So since there is a 15 inch difference between my under-bust and my bust measurement i take a 30K. let's try another example of a more normal size. say you have an under bust of 33 inches, you can choose between a 32 and a 34. You then look at your bust measurement, say your bust measurement is 39, that is 6 inches of difference. Now if you decide to take the 32 you will be using 7 inches of difference (the 32 is slightly smaller than your frame) this means you need a 32 F. But if you take the 34 you will need more like a 34E or even 34DD. But the measurements are just a guide. Not all bras fit the same. In some bras i am a 32K, and in some i'm a 28KK, but usually i'm a 30K so mine works out well. Good luck and i have attached a bra trouble shooting guide for you to assess your own bra size with which is more correct then using a tape measuring system

You should try getting a second opinion at a place like Victoria's Secret, or a department store in general. They can help fit you without you having to take shots in the dark.

You should go to Victoria's Secret and have them size you. And don't be embarrassed about it at all, if you might be worried about it. That's there job and they do it dozens of times every day.

my sister works at victoria secret. If you go in, you can just ask for a fitting, and they will give you your right bra size.

usually if you go on a website that sells bras they'll have a chart. and basically you have to measure yourself then compare. it's pretty accurate. but your best bet would deffinently be going and trying them on. :)
