A truly proper fit comes from taking measurements. A one inch difference between the ribcage and breast tissue indicates an ‘A’ cup, add another inch and you get a ‘B’ cup. If you continue going up the alphabet a ‘DD’ is only a five inch difference from your ribcage to your breast tissue! Our most commonly sold sizes tend to run in the 7-10 inch ribcage to breast tissue difference or an ‘F, FF, G, GG’… So why then do so many women think a ‘DD’ is huge? Because many companies only make bras to a ‘DD’ and instead of politely saying ‘sorry we don’t have your size’ they try to accommodate by making the band larger, leading to the rainbow back, quad boob, and/or back pain. While this can sometimes work it usually causes more harm than good! So there you have it, a ‘DD’ is only a 5 inch difference from your ribcage to your breast tissue and don’t forget, your breast tissue usually starts under your armpits!
