Why do bra sizes differ by country?

Different countries developed their own sizing systems over time. US and UK use similar band measurements but may have slight cup differences. EU uses a different band numbering system (adding 10-15 to US sizes), while FR and JP have their own unique approaches based on local preferences.

How accurate are international bra conversions?

Our conversions are based on industry standards and are generally accurate for most brands. However, some brands may have slight variations, so it's always recommended to try on bras when possible or check the specific brand's size chart for the most accurate fit.

What's the difference between band and cup size?

The band size is the measurement around your ribcage (in inches or centimeters), while the cup size represents the difference between your bust and band measurements. For example, a 34B means a 34-inch band with a B cup (2-inch difference between bust and band).

Frequently Asked Questions

👙 How to Measure Your Bra Size

Finding the perfect fit starts with accurate measurements. Wear a non-padded bra (or no bra) and use a soft measuring tape. Stand straight and breathe normally.

1. Measure Band Size

How to measure bra band size - measuring tape snug around ribcage under bust

Wear a non-padded bra or go braless.
Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust.
Ensure the tape is level and parallel to the floor.
Round to the nearest whole number (e.g., 34 inches).

2. Bust Measurement

Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
Don't pull too tight – just snug enough to stay in place.

🧮 3. Calculate Cup Size

Subtract Band Size from Bust Size

1 inch

A Cup

2 inches

B Cup

3 inches

C Cup

4 inches

D Cup

Fit Check: Is it the Right Size?

✅ Band

Should sit level on your back and fit 2 fingers underneath.

✅ Cups

No spilling over (quad-boob) or gaping empty space.

✅ Straps

Should stay put without digging into your shoulders.

🛡️ Our Methodology & Sizing Accuracy

Standardized Data: Our browser-based calculator uses the +0" vs +4" logic adaptation to ensure modern fit accuracy. We verify international cross-grade charts against major lingerie manufacturers including Victoria's Secret, Triumph, and Marks & Spencer.

Regional Logic: We explicitly differentiate between EU (centimeters) and FR/ES sizing (which adds a 15cm offset). Australian sizes are mapped to their UK equivalents for cup depth correctness.

Sister Size Algorithm: Our tool understands cup volume continuity. When calculating, we prioritize the "Sister Size" relationship to help you find a comfortable band fit without losing cup volume.

Regular Updates: Sizing standards evolve. We review our conversion logic quarterly to align with changes in global manufacturing tolerances.

How to Convert EU 85D to UK Size

Converting bra sizes from EU to UK can be tricky because sizing systems use different metrics. For example, while US and UK sizes mostly align on band numbers (e.g., 32, 34), they diverge significantly in cup sizing after 'D' cup.

Our calculator automatically handles these differences. For a EU size of 85D, the equivalent UK size will be displayed above. Always remember to check if the brand runs "true to size" or if you might need a sister size (e.g., if the band is too tight, go up a band and down a cup).
