How do I determine a Bra Band size?

[liawrig.nq8rdwqa3]

Bad me.  I bought a Champion bra and the tags were cut out.  I don't know what the band (or cup) size is.  I measured the band length and it's 30", which I know is wrong.

Does anybody know how to determine what the band size is for a bra?

Google it

I wouldn't even try.  It would be an easy set up for a fit problem.

Most of my efforts were spent trying to get the bra off of the girl I was with, not on. 😁  Nor was I worried about a proper fit.  So I have no clue.

Is this for the purpose of a listing?

If so, I would say the smallest measurement is 30" unstretched to ??" fully stretched (altho I would not overly stretch it out) Just to where it would seem comfortable.

Also, do you have other sport bras you can measure it against?

If there are no tags on the garment how is one going to sell it as new?  Not new underwear can't be sold on eBay.

As OP stated, trying to "figure out" a size is going to be a problem that likely will lead to a return and dissatisfied customer.   Why create that kind of headache for your self?   Just eat the loss and do a nice thing and see if you can donate it?

Measure under your bust to get "band size" 38, 40, etc..      Measure your bust (projection)  to get "cup size".     The difference between the "band size" and "cup measurement" determines cup size A, B, C.

My advice:  Don't try to resell this.   You're begging for an INAD.   There is no way you can determine its size as the original maker would have sized it,  especially the cup size.

OK, I stand corrected!  My bad.

I still contend that trying to sell something with no visible manufacturers sizing info attached is a bad idea - a recipe for a NAD case in waiting.

No I don't have bras to compare.  Thanks.

[liawrig.nq8rdwqa3]

Okay, the consensus seems to be to donate it.
