Band Measurement (Underbust for Bras)

The band measurement is taken around the ribcage just beneath the bust. Follow these steps for an accurate band measurement:

• Use a Flexible Measuring Tape: Make sure to use a soft, flexible measuring tape for accuracy.
• Wrap Around the Ribcage: With the tape parallel to the ground, wrap it around the ribcage just beneath the bust. Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight, allowing for a comfortable fit.
• Take a Natural Breath: Inhale naturally and measure while keeping the tape snug. This measurement is your underbust or band size.
