To measure my own bra size (need to order breast feeding bra online) do I...

Measure under bust in inches.

Measure over fullest part of bust.

The difference is cup size, so 1 inch = A cup, 2 = B and so on.

Thank you :)

and the underbust measurement is your bra size - no adding 4-5 inches, like so many sites tell you to. If you're between sizes, then you should rather try size down and not up, but might need a cup size bigger then as well.

Yes, but if your up near the larger sizes, you need to see how they go - some got ABCDE,EE, F,FF, some go ABCD,DD, E, EE....!

i really wouldn't order a bra online unless its a bra or at least a brand that you have tried on in a shop first

Could anyone recommend a Website to buy quality (non breast feeding) bras from that might have good reductions in the sale?
