The Sisterhood of the Bras. It’s Time to Know Yours. Finding a well-fitting bra can sometimes seem like a tough task, the struggle is real - whether you're trying a new style, experimenting with something risky or just getting yourself some new bras. While knowing your correct size is essential for the perfect fit, understanding your breasts and what makes you feel comfortable is important too. Understanding Sister Sizes is something every girl should know, because you never know when it comes handy, like - a pretty design ran out of your cup size, your current bra just doesn't sit right, or a slight variation in your cup size isn't getting you the perfect fit. What is a Sister Size Bra? A sister size bra refers to a bra that has the same cup volume as another bra, but with a different band size. This means that if you find your perfect bra size, but the band feels too tight or too loose, you can try a sister size to get a better fit. For example, if your regular bra size is 34C, you can try a sister size of 36B or 32D, as they both have the same cup volume but different band sizes. You have a basic understanding of bra sizes by now, they are basically ratios - band: bust. The easiest way to understand is - as cup size goes up, the band’s width must come down to maintain the ratio of the cup size. As the band size increases around the rib cage, the cup size should decrease. How do you Calculate your Bra Sister Size? Now, here’s the fun part. Sister sizing takes a 32C and makes it equivalent to a 34B and a 30D too! This gives you so much more scope to explore the world of lingerie styles, sizes and more. Sister Sizes usually run in opposite directions with one-size shifts. Confused? Don’t worry, we’re here to help.
