Bra Brand conversions EU to US/UK (cm to inches); I've honestly never thought about how they shift to the right slightly

I'm aware that there is a shift in cups, EU cups 2cm vs. 1 inch (= 2.54 cm) for UK/US cups.

I always use this chart as visual https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Cupumrechnung.svg

I've never really thought about how there's a slight shift in band sizes, too! Granted I've only been around the 30/32 range, but I was looking at this chart which does show the slight shift in band sizes.

Even though Ewa Michalak does use UK band sizes, some people in the higher band sizes go up 1 or even 2 bands; I'm wondering if it's not just the fabric.

Or if E.M. makes the bands more similar to EU bands, idk just a thought.

  • Ewa is just very inconsistent with her sizing. I wear a 32 in panache, but usually a 75 in Ewa. I've had 75s that i need an extender with. I also have a 70 that i close on the 2nd row because its loose. But MOSTLY Ewas run tight.

    but there are also companies that still use the measurement-minus-5 or whatever, tho I've never used any
