Panty size chart
Here’s a clear guide to Indian bra and panty sizing, complete with images and a DIY calculator approach for both:
🎀 How to Measure & Calculate Your Size
1. Bra Size (Indian System)
a. Measure Band (Underbust)
- Wrap a measuring tape snugly just below your bust.
- Note the measurement in cm or inches.
- Round it to the nearest standard size:
- Even number? Add 4 inches (≈10 cm)
- Odd? Add 5 inches (≈12 cm)
(E.g., if underbust is 73 cm → round to 75 → band size ≈ 34″)
b. Measure Bust (Overbust)
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
c. Calculate Cup Size
- Subtract band size from bust measurement.
- Use the difference to find your cup:
- 0–1″: AA
- 1–2″: A
- 2–3″: B
- 3–4″: C
- 4–5″: D, etc.
Example:
Underbust = 76 cm (≈34″), Overbust = 86 cm (≈34″).
Difference = ~2″ → 34B
2. Panty Size (Waist & Hip)
a. Measure Hips
- Take measurement at fullest part of hips.
- Keep tape snug and level.
b. Measure Waist
- At the narrowest point above the navel.
c. Use Size Chart
Refer to standard charts:
- S: Waist 60–72 cm, Hips 84–91 cm
- M: Waist 72–80 cm, Hips 91–99 cm
- L: Waist 80–88 cm, Hips 99–107 cm
- XL/XXL: Higher ranges accordingly
Or follow brand-specific charts like Lovable, Naidu Hall, Clovia.
📏 Quick Size Reference Table
| Type | Measurement | Fit Size Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Bra | Underbust + Overbust | 32A, 34B, 36C, 38D… |
| Panty | Waist / Hips (cm) | S:60–72/84–91, M:72–80/91–99, L:80–88/99–107 |
(If your measurements fall between sizes, opt for the larger size for comfort.)
✅ Tips for Best Fit
- Use a soft tape, don’t add clothing layers.
- Round measurements to even numbers, then calculate bands/cups.
- Re-check periodically, especially after weight changes.
- Try various brands — sizing differs across manufacturers.
- Check fit indicators: band should sit flat; no spillage or pinching.
🔧 DIY DIY Size Calculator
- Band (inches) = underbust measurement (rounded).
- Cup = overbust − band.
- Panty size = match waist & hip to chart.
- For in-betweens, choose the larger size.
📌 Summary
Measure your underbust and overbust for the bra size, and waist + hips for panties. Then match to the size charts (AA–H cups, S–XXXL panties). If in doubt, go slightly bigger—comfort is key! 😊
