Why is HP Nina larger?

My 80G - Ewa Michalak » Hp Nina (226) is larger in the cup than 75H - Ewa Michalak » S Fresh and I must admit it confuses me. People say S run large in the cup but I've never heard anyone saying HP does. Since for some reason Nina seems to fit in the cup the way I want a bra to fit I would have wanted more bras like her.

Edit: problem solved. Strap position differs from 6.5 cm from the outer wire tip on Fresh and 9.5 cm from HP Nina.

  • Do you mean it's larger by measurements, or it's effectively larger? Like, my 30J - Cleo » Meg Balconnet (6751) would logically have less volume in it than my 30K - Panache » Ariza Balconnet Bra (5051) , as the cups are roughly the same depth, but the Ariza has wider cups, but I find that the Meg is a better fit than the Ariza, because the volume is where I need it, out at the front and centre. Ariza has its volume at the sides, and a fairly shallow slope, so it's too top-centre shallow for me and I spill out.

    Right now, I'm really wishing I'd managed to wrap my head around integration approximation methods for 3 dimensional objects. That's going to keep me awake thinking about it. I'm sure we should be able to apply trapezoidal rule or midpoint rule to bras to obtain a rough approximation of holding volume. I'm just not super sure of the best way of doing it.

  • HP cups are quite wide and shallow. While S cups are very narrow and very deep/tall, so they need more volume to fill the cup.
