Bra size chart for Pakistan
Bras in Pakistan are still mostly sold as small, medium and large — which is why so many don't fit. Real sizes have two parts, a number and a letter. This chart shows how to read yours.
Band size (the number)
Measure snugly around your ribcage, just under your bust. Find your measurement below.
| Band | Underbust (inches) | Underbust (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | 27–28.9" | 69–73 cm |
| 30 | 29–30.9" | 74–78 cm |
| 32 | 31–32.9" | 79–83 cm |
| 34 | 33–34.9" | 84–88 cm |
| 36 | 35–36.9" | 89–93 cm |
| 38 | 37–38.9" | 94–98 cm |
| 40 | 39–40.9" | 99–103 cm |
| 42 | 41–42.9" | 104–108 cm |
| 44 | 43–44.9" | 109–113 cm |
Cup size (the letter)
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust, then subtract your band number. Every inch of difference is one cup.
| Difference | Cup (PK/US) | UK | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0" | AA | AA | AA |
| 1" | A | A | A |
| 2" | B | B | B |
| 3" | C | C | C |
| 4" | D | D | D |
| 5" | DD | DD | E |
| 6" | DDD | E | F |
Putting it together
Underbust 33" gives a 34 band. Bust 36" minus 34 is 2" — a B cup. Size: 34B.
The cup letter isn't a fixed size on its own: a 32D and a 36D are very different. That's why the number and the letter always travel together — and why sister sizes exist.
Nighties are simpler
Nighties come in S to XL and are cut loose. See the nightie size chart, or read our guide to nighties for Pakistani summers.
