Fit is how a garment flatters your body in unaltered and altered ways, emphasizing good features and hiding others. Avoid garments that protrude, puddle, or sag, as these aren’t flattering on anyone.
Keep up to date with your measurements and refer to a brand’s sizing guide online when shopping.
C-Cup
If your band is a good fit but needs more support and lift in the cup, consider going up a cup size. Just subtract your bust measurement from your band size to find your cup size.
The cups should encase the entire breast without sagging or spilling over. Also, check that the center gore (the fabric between the cups) lays flat against your chest.
D-Cup
You understand how crucial it is to locate an Elomi Bras stockist that fits adequately if you are a D-cup. A snug band, firmly secured cups, and flat straps signify proper fit.
Since band size affects cup size, you should increase the cup size for every inch your length decreases. For instance, you should downsize to a 32D if your 34D band is too loose and you desire a tighter band.
E-Cup
Bra sizing isn’t static when it comes to finding the perfect fit. Cup sizes can vary by band size, meaning a 32E cup has a different volume than a 38E cup.
Larger busts need specific features to flatter and support. Discover E-Cup bras designed for fuller figures and a comfortable fit. From everyday t-shirt bras to lace styles, shop a range of stunning fuller-figure lingerie.
F-Cup
It’s crucial to understand that the cloth should sit flat against your ribcage while looking for a bra. If it rides up, the band may be too small, and you need to order a size larger.
Double letters have a greater cup capacity than single letters, with cup volume increasing alphabetically from A to F.
G-Cup
If your band size is too loose, it can cause sagging and lead to straps digging in. Fortunately, you can remedy this by going up a sister size.
For example, a 34G cup bra is equivalent to a 36F in the US sizing system and a 38E in the UK. These are sister sizes because they have the same cup volume.
H-Cup
Managing bra cup sizes can take time and effort. A C-cup in one lingerie brand might be a D-cup in another, and your measurements can change between washes, too!
To calculate your band size, wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your ribcage at the level of your bust. Then, subtract your band and bust measurements to find your cup size.
I-Cup
If you want a bra that boosts your cleavage but doesn’t leave telltale spillover or feel constricting, look for contour styles. The band should sit level around your ribcage, and the cups should fully encase your breasts without leaving gaps or squashing.
Remember, bra sizing can be inconsistent between brands, so using your measurements as a guide is best.
J-Cup
The band provides 80% of the support for a bra, so it needs to fit firmly on the body. The band size is likely too big if you need help with shoulder straps digging in or moving around throughout the day.
Cup volume is relative to band size, so you should also go up a cup for every band size you go down. Check out our bra sizing chart to help refine your fitting!
K-Cup
K-Cups are single-serving coffee and tea cups with a plastic lid. They are compatible with 2.0 brewers and contain ground coffee in a filter. The brewer punctures the top and bottom of the cup, and water flows into the grounds and out through the filter.
The cup size and shape of a bra can affect its support. Look for a moveable J-hook strap fastening that can be converted into a racerback for extra support and no strap slippage.
