Based on your measurement of 88 cm, I would recommend trying a bra size of 34B. This is calculated by taking the underbust measurement (the band size) and adding it to the bust measurement, then subtracting any difference to find the cup size. In this case, with an underbust measurement of 88 cm, you would typically be looking for a band size around 34 inches or 86-89 cm. The cup size is determined by the difference between the two measurements – in this case, a difference of about 2 inches or 5 cm would typically indicate a B cup.
It’s important to remember that bra sizing can vary between brands and styles, so it’s always best to try on several sizes within that range to ensure the best fit. Factors such as breast shape and placement can also affect how different bras fit, so it may be helpful to consult with a professional fitter or store associate for personalized recommendations.
One common misconception about bra sizing is that once you find your “correct” size, it will work for every style and brand of bra. However, due to differences in design and construction among brands and styles, it’s not uncommon for someone’s ideal bra size to vary from one style or brand to another. It’s important to keep an open mind when trying on bras and be willing to experiment with different sizes within your general range.
A less-known fact about finding the right bra size is that weight fluctuations can greatly impact how our bras fit. With every significant change in weight – whether gaining or losing – we should reassess our current sizing needs because our bodies will have changed too. Understanding this can help us stay mindful of regular fittings rather than simply assuming we are still wearing the same correct size year after year.
Remember: Finding the perfect fitting bra takes time but makes all the difference in both comfort and confidence.
