Victoria’s Secret Bra Size Chart & Sizing
The most familiar bra label in America, and historically the most common source of a band-too-loose, cup-too-small size.
Victoria's Secret in numbers
Victoria's Secret defined mainstream American bra shopping for three decades. Its in-store fittings historically used the +4 method (adding inches to the underbust), which is why so many wearers arrive with a size like 36C that measures as 32DD. Since 2021 the brand has widened its range and softened its imagery; the sizing convention still leans mainstream. PINK covers younger styles, many in alpha sizes.
Sub-brands and lines: PINK.
Your measured size in Victoria's Secret
How this is computed: your US size read straight onto the US label, then adjusted for how Victoria's Secret typically grades: soft bands, small cups.
Where Victoria's Secret sits on the size grid
Cups A–DDD (G in select styles). Not every band–cup combination exists; the largest cups usually appear on mid-range bands only.
Best for:
- Mainstream availability and familiar styling
- Push-up and padded silhouettes
- Shoppers who already know their VS size and want to convert it correctly

Does Victoria's Secret run small or big?
Victoria's Secret bands run soft or stretchy across US bands 30–44: many wearers take a band down and a cup up to keep the volume, and the band retires sooner than a firm one.
Victoria's Secret cups grade small from A to DDD: try your measured cup and one up, and read a floating gore as the cup, not the band.
Victoria's Secret wires are average width for the US system. Straps: Standard.

Victoria's Secret sizing: answered
What is my Victoria's Secret bra size?
Measure snugly under the bust for the band and at the fullest point for the cup. VS's own fittings historically added inches to the band. If your VS size is 36C and your snug underbust is 32″, your measured size is 32DD; VS carries it, and the band will finally hold.
