confused about band length

Looking at the sizing of bras on here and other sizing guides, the band length does not always match the "fits bust" or underbust measurement. (Like it says band size 34 but fits bust 31) But my reccomendations gives me the exact number I put in as my underbust.

I have bras from a store that I got fitted, then re-fitted when the center gore kept poking me. I was given 36 at first and told you're supposed to go up a band size.

I need to check again but I don't think the bras I got were G which is my reccomended bratabase cup size but maybe the bras had British sizes.

  • I think bratabase recommends brittish sizes. if shops dont have your size they will fit you in something else. being poked by the gore is not always because the band is too small, sometimes its a shape mis-match. some brands having different band sizings, too - the +4 sizing. its confusing!
