How do I measure my band size?
Measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your breasts.
Add 3 inches to this measurement. For example, if your ribcage is 31 inches, your band size is 34.
What to do with bras that are too small?
Depending on your specific issues, there are several methods for loosening a too-tight bra (or replacing it altogether).
Move up a notch.
Adjust your straps. Here’s a little-known fact about bra construction: The majority of a bra’s support comes from the band, not the straps or cups.
Wear different sizes.
How long is a bra extender?
The bra extender is used to add more rooms to your bra while the bra band is too tight.
It can extend your band length to about 2 inches.
How can I extend my bra yourself?
If you need to add more length than just adding the bra fastener pieces, you can sew a scrap of fabric or elastic in between the hook and eye pieces to make a longer extender.
You can add up to about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of extra room to your bra band this way, without altering the fit of the rest of the bra very much.
