To find the bra size for 85B, we will need to take two measurements: underbust and bust. For the underbust measurement, I recommend using a soft tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Make sure to keep the tape snug but not too tight. For the bust measurement, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust without squishing or lifting it. Once you have these measurements, subtract your underbust from your bust to determine cup size.
In this case, with a band measurement of 85 cm and a bust measurement of 103 cm, subtracting these two numbers gives us a difference of 18 cm which corresponds to a B cup. Therefore, for an 85B bra size, you would be looking for bras with a band size of 85 and a cup size of B.
Common misconceptions about bra sizes often revolve around thinking that once you know your measurements, you can buy any brand’s bra in that same size. The truth is that different brands may fit differently due to variations in their sizing systems and designs.
A less-known fact about finding the right bra size is that proper fit can vary based on factors such as breast shape and individual preferences for comfort and support. Knowing this can be useful because it means that trying on different styles and sizes within your calculated range is key to finding what works best for you.
