Bra sizes are not measured in odd numbers, so a bra size of 35 is not standard. The band size of a bra typically comes in even numbers and measures the circumference of your ribcage underneath your bust. It’s important to get an accurate measurement because wearing the wrong band size can affect the fit and support of the bra. I recommend coming into our store for a professional fitting to determine your actual bra size. Our expert fitters will take precise measurements using specialized tools and techniques to ensure you get the perfect fit.
There is no universal definition of what constitutes a “big” bra size as it varies from person to person. Bra sizing is made up of both band size and cup size, with larger cup sizes being designated by letters such as D, DD, E, F, etc. A 35-inch measurement may correspond to a certain band size depending on individual body proportions and shape, but without additional information like cup size or other measurements it’s impossible to definitively say if it’s considered “big.”.
A common misconception about bra sizing is that bigger numbers always mean bigger breasts. In reality, while band sizes increase as ribcage measurements increase, they don’t necessarily correlate directly with breast volume. It’s entirely possible for someone who wears a larger band size like 38 or 40 to have smaller cup sizes like B or C.
One less-known fact about bras is that different styles and brands can vary significantly in terms of sizing and fit. This means that just because you wear one particular size in one brand doesn’t guarantee that you’ll wear the same size in another brand’s bras. Knowing this can be useful when shopping for bras online or trying out new styles – it’s always best to consult sizing charts or visit us for a fitting before making any purchases.
Remember: finding the right bra isn’t about conforming to societal ideas of “big” or “small,” but about feeling comfortable and supported in whatever your unique shape may be.
