A 38 bra size refers to the measurement around your ribcage, just below your bust. The number “38” indicates the band size and represents the circumference of your chest in inches. This means that if you were to wrap a measuring tape around your torso just under your bust and it measures 38 inches, then a 38 bra size would be a good starting point for you. It’s important to note that different brands may have slight variations in their sizing, so trying on different styles within the same brand can help you find the perfect fit.
Some common misconceptions about bra sizing include thinking that cup size is directly related to band size – this is not true. Cup size is actually relative to band size, so a 38D will have larger cups than a 34D. Another misconception is believing that there’s only one correct way for a bra to fit; in reality, finding the right fit depends on personal comfort and preference.
An interesting fact about bra sizing is that many people are wearing the wrong size without even realizing it. Knowing how to properly measure yourself for a bra can make all the difference in finding comfortable and supportive lingerie. My recommendation for you would be to schedule a professional fitting with our expert staff who can accurately measure your band and cup sizes and recommend specific styles based on your unique shape.
