Neither system is right or wrong but as a customer it is key to know what system the company you are buying from is using so that you get a bra that physically fits you.

We use the traditional plus four or five inches system.

This is really a matter of preference of the company making the product as the actual physical size of the bra will be the same just the size it is called will vary.

However the actual bras would be similarly proportioned and it is not that you are truly one size or the other.

Sister size is a size where the cup volume stays the same despite the band and cup number changing — this is why if for example your bra size is 34C but it is out of stock you could try a 32D or 36B as the cup is made from the same size patterns pieces and uses the same size bra wires — it is just the band which is a different length.

We recommend you don't go up or down more than one either side though as then the band would be to tight or loose 30A 30B 32A 30C 32B 34A 30D 32C 34B 36A 30DD 32D 34C 36B 38A 30E 32DD 34D 36C 38B 40A 30F 32E 34DD 36D 38C 40B 42A 30FF 32F 34E 36DD 38D 40C 42B 44A 30G 32FF 34F 36E 38DD 40D 42C 44B 30GG 32G 34FF 36F 38E 40DD 42D 44C 30H 32GG 34G 36FF 38F 40E 42DD 44D 32H 34GG 36G 38FF 40F 42E 44DD 34H 36GG 38G 40FF 42F 44E 36H 38GG 40G 42FF 44F 38H 40GG 42G 44FF 40H 42GG 44G 42H 44GG 44H.

So for example someone who is a 30H in a brand that uses the newer system would be a 34F in our system.

As the bra will have 3 rows of hooks and eyes on the end of the band it can often work on the tightest if you size up or on the loosest or with a bra extender if you size down.

A lot of fuller bust companies add no inches or 2 inches only rather than the plus four or five.
