We offer a wide range of cup sizes here in our shop, starting from an A cup and going all the way up to a K cup. The letter associated with each size represents the volume of the breast, while the number refers to the band size which is measured around your ribcage just below your bust. It’s important to ensure that you’re wearing the correct band size when trying on different cup sizes, as this can affect how well the cups fit.

It’s essential for you to get a proper fitting with one of our experienced bra fitters who will take precise measurements to determine your ideal cup size. Once we’ve established your correct sizing, we can then assist you in finding styles that are both comfortable and flattering for your unique shape.

A common misconception is that once you find your perfect bra size, it will stay consistent across all brands and styles. However, different manufacturers may have slight variations in their sizing charts so it’s crucial to be open-minded and try on various options within or around your estimated cup size until you find what works best for you.

In addition to standard cup sizes like A through K, many people don’t realize that there are also half-cup sizes available. This can be especially helpful if you find yourself between two traditional sizes or if one particular style fits better with a slightly larger or smaller cup than usual. Knowing about these additional options can make it easier for us to find bras that feel custom-made just for you based on subtle differences in fit.

After learning more about the wide range of bra sizes available and some lesser-known options such as half-cup sizes, I recommend scheduling a professional fitting appointment where we can dive deeper into finding exactly what suits your unique needs best. With so many factors at play when choosing bras – from body shape and personal preferences – expert assistance from someone like me will help streamline this process for you.
