An A, B, and C in bra sizing refers to the cup size of a bra. The letter represents the volume of the breast that the cup can accommodate. For example, an A cup is for smaller breast volumes, while a B cup accommodates a slightly larger volume, and a C cup is for even larger volumes. It’s important to note that the letter alone doesn’t represent the exact size of the breasts; it also depends on the band size.
Common misconception: Many people believe that if they have a smaller band size, they automatically need a smaller cup size. However, this is not always true. The combination of band and cup sizes should be determined based on precise measurements to ensure proper fit.
Less-known fact: One less-known fact about bra sizing is that each letter corresponds to a specific difference in inches between your bust measurement and your underbust measurement. Knowing this fact can help you understand how different brands may vary in their sizing options.
