Hello, my sissy friends!
You know that a sissy essential in her wardrobe is a good bra, right? Not everyone knows how to measure bra size, so I thought I would share that information here.
About Bra Sizes
Most sissies are going to want to look for bras in the Plus Sizes because of the wider rib cages. Unless you are petite and very thin, buying standard size bras at Victoria’s Secret might be a challenge or out of the question, depending on your size. If you find yourself shopping in the plus size bra section, don’t be discouraged or think there is something wrong with you. Not at all! And you will still be able to find pretty bras, but blessedly, ones that fit. Knowing how to measure your bra size will get you into a comfy and sexy bra!
How to Measure Bra Size Properly
First, of course, you need to know your correct bra size.
Some girls have been able to go into lingerie stores and have their bra size professionally measured
Not everyone feels comfortable doing this and, of course, with the pandemic, more and more people are staying home, so could use an at-home solution to finding the right bra size.
Measuring Bra Size Basics
You’re going to take 2 measurements… one that goes from around your back to under your breast tissue… we are looking for the band size. Then, to get the cup size, you will go from around your back to over your nipples. If you are going to wear breast forms, you can measure their height and add that to the nipple measurement.
(In both inches and centimeters)
After that, you will subtract the smaller number from the larger number to get your cup size.
Quick Math Solution
So if you measured 42 around your back and under your breast tissue and then a 46 over your nipple plus the height of the breast form, you will subtract 42 from 46 and that gives you 4… and a cup sizes are like this: 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, etc. If you’re used to double cup sizes… DD for example… that is really an E, but sounds better as a DD.
How to convert sizes into cup sizes. Note the way US cup sizes are named.
Weird Bra Fits
Bras are really weird sometimes. You think it fits great, but the strap keeps falling down. Or the straps dig into your shoulders. Or gashes your back.
This is a poorly fitted bra.
Notice the bra above, how his side breast tissue squishes out? He has the wrong cup size. And he also has the straps gashing down into his shoulders… the under-bust size is incorrect as well.
You do not need to suffer with those annoyances or pain.
This next bra is also not properly fitted. It’s closer than the above one (these straps fit better), but the cup size needs to be bigger to keep the side boob from squishing out.
No Bra Standardization
There is no standardization between bra companies so one perfect bra in 42D might be another brand’s 44C. The usual rule of thumb is if you go UP in the band size, you are going to go DOWN in the cup size. That is if you have measured and know what size bra you should be wearing. It is the company that is off, not you!
Let’s get that bra fitted correctly!
Next, we will discuss How to Put On a Bra Properly. Yes, there really is a right way!
Love love love wearing bras!!!! Especially when my cabi friend measured/fitted me in her old bras!!!! With breast forms filling them out underneath my dresses/blouses/women’s turtleneck sweaters she’s picked out for me. Your right she’s made me her sissy girl and im sooo glad!!! The only drawback is she doesn’t want me to wear bras to work. You/Ms Erika and her are right in saying I look better as a girl and I am a girl. I sooo wish I could stay this way all the time. I’m going to ask her if she wants to do dress up feminization fun on monthly basis. As being a girl is who I am and become.
I know how much you LOVE wearing bras, dearest paulina! And you look damn fine in them, too. Especially that pretty plum one you have.

You should be wearing bras all the time because yes, you are a girl. You know you are and I love that about you.
Thanks for commenting, love!
Thanks for the helpful tips…..I have had success ordering on Amazon, but it is difficult to get the size right……even with proper measurements. But i must admit, wearing a bra was a huge step in helping me feel like the gurl i was meant to be!
Thank You for this post Mistress, as you can probably tell it is a topic close to my heart 🙂
The differences in measurements between makers was very maddening at first but I found my solution. Woman Within has a wide variety of wireless bras and I find these help counter the problems you describe. Excellent coverage and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I am a size queen and the fact that they sell (maybe even specialize in) extra large sizes solved the problem of seeing a bra I like online only to find that the largest size they carry is like a 42DD.
OMG, sweet girl! Thank you for that information! I love that you found the brand that works for you and the hint of how others might, too.
Thanks, really, for sharing your knowledge.
giant hugs
You truly care. You really do. ❤️
This is the most informative article i have read on this subject .At first i was good but after weight gain i had to acomadate fir larger weight gain . Also you opening statement about about shaeing shame . Will elaborate some other time have a Dr. appointment must run. xxx
This is super helpful thank you! I got measured in store once but forgot what my size was already. So now i can do it myself
I love that I could help!!!
Always fantastic when you can do things yourself, right?
(Although it IS sexy fun to go in and be measured, too!)
I’d love to go for a measurement, but would definitely chicken out at the last minute. I would need a steady hand leading me in and making sure I went through with it ?
That sure is the MOST fun way to do it!
