A bra size of 36-80 refers to the band size and it is typically considered a larger or plus-size range. Band size 36-80 corresponds to the measurement around your ribcage, just under your bust. It’s important to note that cup sizes vary depending on the band size, so a 36D is not the same as an 80D. When determining your bra size, it’s essential to get professionally fitted and take accurate measurements to ensure the best fit for optimal comfort and support.
Many people mistakenly believe that a larger band size automatically means a larger cup size, but this is not necessarily true. The band and cup sizes are independent of each other – you can have a small cup with a large band or vice versa. Understanding this misconception can prevent frustration when shopping for bras in different sizes.
An interesting fact about bra sizing is that most women wear the wrong bra size without even realizing it. This can lead to discomfort, poor posture, and lack of proper support. Knowing how to accurately measure yourself or seeking professional fittings from lingerie stores like ours can make all the difference in finding the perfect fit for your body type.
