An 80D bra size refers to a specific measurement of the band and cup size of a bra. The number “80” indicates the band size, which is the measurement around your ribcage just below your bust. This measurement will determine how snugly the bra fits around your body. In this case, an 80 band size typically corresponds to a measurement of approximately 31 inches.
The letter “D” represents the cup size, which measures the volume of breast tissue that the bra can accommodate. A D cup signifies that there is a significant amount of volume in relation to the band size. It’s important to note that cup sizes are not static; they increase or decrease relative to changes in band size. Therefore, an 80D bra may have a different cup volume than a smaller or larger band with the same letter.
Misconception: One common misconception is that all D cups are large, when in reality it depends on proportion to band size.
Less-known fact: A less-known fact about bra sizing is that most people wear bras with incorrect measurements without realizing it, which can lead to discomfort and improper support.
