Panache Bra Sizing
Note: This measuring methods applies to the Panache brand (UK) only.
Measure yourself while wearing an unpadded, non-minimizing bra.
Panache Band Size:
Pull a tape measure around your torso, right underneath your breasts. Make sure that it lies flat at the back and in a horizontal line all the way around. Pull the measuring tape snug to get an accurate measurement. When you take this measurement, round to the closest whole inch, either up or down (Ex. If your measurement is 28.5", round to 29").
If the rounded measurement is an even number, add 2 inches. If the rounded measurement is an odd number, add 3 inches. Example: 29" + 3" = 32". In this case, 32" is the band size.
Panache Cup Size:
Measure around your torso, across the fullest part of your breast. Again, make sure that the tape measure is at the same level all the way around, but this time take care to not pull the measuring tape too tight. Round up or down to the nearest inch as your did to find your band size.
Subtract your original underbust measurement from this second measurement. The difference is your cup size (see chart below). Example: 37" - 32" (underbust measurement) = 5" = DD cup size
Based on this example, the Panache bra size is 32DD.
