First, the European bra size is calculated by taking two measurements: the band size and the bust size. To measure the band size, wrap a measuring tape around your ribcage just under your bust. Ensure that it’s snug but not too tight. Round up to the nearest even number to get your band size. For example, if you measure 29 inches, round up to 30 inches.
Next, to calculate the bust size, wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust without flattening or pulling it too tightly. Make sure it’s parallel to the ground for an accurate measurement. Round this measurement to the nearest inch as well.
Once you have these two measurements, subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement and use this difference to find your cup size in centimeters or inches according to our specific sizing chart available at our store or on our website.
Now that you have determined both your band and cup sizes using these precise calculations and measurements, I recommend trying on bras in different styles and brands within this range at our store in order to find what works best for you based on individual fit preferences and body shape.
A common misconception about European bra sizing is that it is very different from other systems like US or UK sizing. The truth is that while there are some variations in lettering between systems due differences in labeling techniques, they all share a similar method of calculating which includes determining both band and cup sizes through specific measurements taken on one’s body – ensuring correct fitting every time.
A less-known fact about European bra sizing is that many people assume their bra size never changes once they have measured themselves once when actually factors such as weight fluctuation or age can affect breast volume over time – meaning adjustments might be necessary occasionally. Knowing about this helps clients realize why regular fittings are important for maintaining optimal support levels.
So now armed with knowledge of how European bra sizes are calculated and understanding how other systems compare as well as being aware of why regular fittings may be necessary makes choosing new lingerie more fun. Good luck finding perfect bras suited perfectly for unique shapes!
