In bra sizing, “70a” refers to a specific combination of band size and cup size. The number “70” corresponds to the band size, which represents the measurement around your ribcage just below your bust. The letter “A” denotes the cup size, which is determined by subtracting the ribcage measurement from the bust measurement.
It means that if you have a 70-inch ribcage and a 75-inch bust measurement, you would typically wear a 70A bra. This indicates that you have a smaller band size with a smaller cup size relative to your measurements. It’s important to note that different countries may have their own variations of sizing systems, so it’s always best to refer to the specific brand’s sizing chart for accurate measurements.
One common misconception about bra sizes is that the larger the number and letter combination, the bigger or more significant it is; however this isn’t always true as sizes vary between brands and countries. In reality, each numerical value represents an increment in band size while each alphabetical letter stands for an increase in cup volume.
A less-known fact is that bra sizes are not static and can change due to weight fluctuations, age-related body changes or pregnancy. Understanding this can help in ensuring a proper fit by regularly measuring yourself and getting fitted for new bras when necessary based on these changes.
