Finding your Montelle size is easy
All you need is a measuring tape and we’ll do the hard work for you, plug the numbers into our calculator to find your bra size! We recommend wearing an unpadded bra while taking your measurements.
Band
Using the measuring tape, measure around your rib cage directly under your bust. Ensure the tape measure is directly on your skin and straight, with a snug fit.
Cup
Measure completely around the fullest part of the bust without flattening your breasts, ensuring that the tape measure is straight.
Based on the Montelle fit chart. Fit is personal — if you’re between sizes, try the size on either side to find your most comfortable fit.

Bra Sister Sizes Explained
Sister sizes are groups of bra sizes that share the exact same cup volume, even though their band sizes and cup letters are different. Understanding your sister sizes is incredibly helpful when your usual size isn’t a perfect fit or isn’t available.
Bra sizes are relative: as a band size increases, the actual volume of the cup letter increases with it. The opposite is true when you decrease band sizes.
The following sizes all share the exact same cup capacity:
