It is estimated that up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Investing in a correctly fitted bra is essential for comfort, support, breast health, improved appearance, and increased confidence. It is recommended that bra size is checked at least once a year to ensure the right size and fit, as changes in weight, pregnancy, and a range of other factors can impact bra size. It is also important you choose the right bra for your body shape and activity, for more information about our bra styles and functions, please see the Lingerie Buying Guide.
Finding your bra size can be tricky, and what fits perfectly in one brand or style, may not in another. We recommend you get measured in-store by one of our Farmers fitting consultants, however, if you'd prefer to measure yourself, this helpful calculator will give you a good indication of your correct bra size. If you'd like to find out more about our fitting service, please view our In-Store Bra Fitting information.
Wear a non-padded bra and stand in front of a mirror with a measuring tape. Take your measurements (in cms) as shown below and enter them into our helpful calculator, or if you prefer, use the Bra Size Chart below to find your size.
There is no universal system for measuring bra size, a bra that fits in one brand may not fit in another. Before you buy a bra from a brand you've never tried before, please check the brand-specific Size Guide that is included on every product page.

A well-fitting bra ensures comfort and support throughout the day. It should not dig into your skin, create painful pressure points, or cause discomfort. The right bra will provide the necessary support without causing any discomfort or irritation.
Being fitted for a bra can seem like a daunting process for some, but the right bra can dramatically impact your confidence through the way you look and feel. Over time, bodies change so it's important to get correctly fitted by a Farmers Bra Fitting Consultant.
Simply head to the Lingerie department and ask one of our bra fitting consultants for a fitting – it is always a good idea to call ahead to ensure one is available. We recommend wearing a normal bra with no push-up features for a more accurate measuring.
You'll be measured in a private changing room by a trained bra fitting consultant who will measure your chest and around the fullest part and under your bust. This gives you the most accurate starting size possible for you when trying on bras.
If you really can't or don't want to get a fitting, try our Bra Size Calculator above.
After you get your size, your bra fitting consultant will ask you what styles you prefer and suggest a few for you to try. Sizes may differ depending on the bra style and brand so ensure you try the bra first to ensure the perfect fit.
