How to know your bra size
Choose bra size according to your measurements
One of the most frequent doubts when we want to choose women's underwear is how to know the bra size, since it usually makes doubts about the cup size. The most important thing to get the perfect bra is to know how to calculate the bra size so that it fits better to your body. If you want to find out how to know the bra size you can not miss this post, although we also recommend that you use our bra size calculator The standard bra sizes consist of a number and a letter, the first being the one that marks the contour of the bust, while the second refers to the size of the bra cups. Knowing this, it will be much easier to know how to find the perfect bra size.
Bra sizes according to cups
How to know the bra size that best suits your chest?
In Spain we use French sizing, measured in centimeters (80cm, 85cm, 90cm...), which you can find on the labels of the garments as ESP or FRA. On the other hand, the bra cups use the letters of the alphabet, with the A cup being the smallest, followed by the B cup, the C cup ..... Cups range from A cup to E cup (sometimes reaching F cup). So having a 90B breast size means that your girth is 90cm and you would use a B cup. This way you will be able to know what size is a, b, c, d, e and f cup.
Bra sizes according to contour
To find out which bra size best suits your figure, you only have to measure the contour of your torso, below the chest, with the help of a tape measure (it can go from 75cm to 120cm approx). Keep in mind that the sizes go from 5cm to 5cm, so you should choose the closest to your result. From these measurements, you can choose the bra size that best suits your body.
