Post Mastectomy - How to Measure for a Proper Fit
Proper Bra Size:
Place tape measure under breast from center of breastbone in front to center of spine in back. Double the measurement and add 5 inches. This is your bra size. Example: If under breast measurement (center front to center back) is 14 1/2 inches, double it (14 1/2 x 2 = 29 inches). Add 5 inches. Your bra size would be 34 inches. Note: if total is an odd number (35 for example) select the next larger size (for 35, buy 36).

Proper Cup Size:
Measure over fullest part of remaining breast from center breastbone in front to center of spine in back. Double the number. If measurement is the same as the bra size determined above, or up to 1 inch more, order A cup; if 2 to 3 inches more, order B cup; if 3 to 4 inches more, order C cup; if 4 to 5 inches more, order D cup; if 5 to 6 inches more, order DD cup.
Cup Size for Double Mastectomy:
Cup size is the same as that worn prior to surgery. If you want to be larger or smaller, select one size above or below your previous size.
