Finding the right bra size can be a real struggle for many women. An ill-fitting bra not only feels uncomfortable but also impacts posture, appearance, and overall confidence. That’s why we created a Victoria’s Secret Bra Calculator — a simple online tool that helps you determine your accurate bra size by just entering your band size and bust size.

Why Accurate Bra Sizing Matters
Wearing the wrong bra size is more common than you think — studies show that over 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. Some wear a band that’s too loose, while others wear cups that are too small or too big. This leads to:
- Shoulder and back pain
- Poor posture
- Visible bulges or gaps
- Constant need for adjustment
- Reduced bra lifespan
By using a bra size calculator, you can avoid these problems and always shop confidently.
How the Victoria's Secret Bra Calculator Works
The calculator is designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use. It works on the standard bra sizing method used by brands like Victoria’s Secret.
Here’s how it works:
- Enter Band Size (in inches)
- Measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust.
- Round to the nearest whole number.
- Enter Bust Size (in inches)
- Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Keep the measuring tape level and not too tight.
- Click “Calculate”
- The tool will calculate the difference between bust and band measurements.
- Based on that difference, it determines your cup size.
- Get Your Result Instantly
- The calculator will show your band size, cup size, and final bra size (e.g., 34C, 36DD).
Example of Using the Bra Size Calculator
Let’s say your measurements are:
- Band Size: 34 inches
- Bust Size: 37 inches
Step 1: Enter 34 under band size.
Step 2: Enter 37 under bust size.
Step 3: Click "Calculate".
Result:
- Band Size: 34
- Cup Size: C (because the difference is 3 inches)
- Bra Size: 34C
That’s it! Within seconds, you know your exact bra size.
