Cup height measurements
What is our measurement methodology? For instance, are we measuring cup height from the wire center bottom to the top cup edge? Cup height at the strap? Do we measure by running a flexible tape along the inside of the cup or do we measure from wire to top cup edge without following the curve of the cup? Thanks for helping us identify our measurement method

This is what I also wondered, when everybody talked about cup height, were they all imagining the same thing?
When I tried to measure cup height for a few bras it was definitely not an easy measurement and it was very hard to determine on taller cups and bigger cup sizes. Specially since the center of the cup is very closely aligned with the strap attachment which causes a greater measurement than expected.
Will this help?

1) I really like the guide on how to measure the cup height.
2) Personally, I would sort of scoot the measuring tape across the cup to find the tallest point, and use that as my measurement. Stuff like Comexim or the Freya Deco would have radically different cup heights depending on *where* you measure.
3) For those who really dig measuring, they could measure the tallest and shortest points of the cup, but that adds a lot of work for people who don't like to measure.
