Bra size is determined by taking two measurements, the band size and the bust size. For a measurement of 85 cm, I would recommend starting with a band size of 32 inches or 80 centimeters and then adjusting up or down depending on your individual fit preference. When trying on bras, it’s important to pay attention to how the band feels around your ribcage – it should be snug but not too tight, with only enough room to comfortably fit two fingers underneath.
Common misconceptions about bra sizing include the belief that cup size is static across all band sizes. The truth is that cup size is relative to band size – for example, a D cup on a 32-inch band will have different dimensions than a D cup on a 36-inch band.
A less-known fact about bra sizing is that different brands may have slightly different measurements for their sizes due to variations in manufacturing and materials used. It’s important to always try on bras before purchasing them and take note of any discrepancies in sizing between brands.
Next steps for understanding bra sizing would involve getting professionally fitted at least once per year as body shapes can change over time due to factors such as weight fluctuations and pregnancy. Don’t forget that our bodies are unique so there may be some trial-and-error involved in finding the perfect fit.
Remember: Finding the right bra should be supportive and empowering – just like you.
