The letters in bra size represent the cup size, while the numbers represent the band size. The cup size is determined by taking the difference between your bust measurement and your band measurement. For example, if your bust measures 36 inches and your band measures 32 inches, the difference is 4 inches, which corresponds to a D cup. Band size represents the measurement around your ribcage just below your bust, measured in inches.
Many people believe that a larger cup letter always means a bigger breast size, but this is not necessarily true. Cup sizes are relative to band sizes; for example, a 34C will have smaller cups than a 36C because it has a smaller band but the same cup volume.
An interesting fact about bra sizing is that different brands may fit differently even with the same measurements. It’s important to get fitted each time you go shopping for bras and try on different styles and brands to find what works best for you.
So now that you know how bra sizing works, I recommend getting professionally fitted so we can ensure you’re wearing the correct size.
