About measurements on the site...

So when you're looking up a bra on this site and it says 0 bras have been entered in the model and size you're looking for and you click on the size anyway... Sometimes there are measurement entries in there, and I'm wondering where they come from?

For example, I looked up the Kris Line Kama non-plunge bra in both a 70H and a 75H. The stretched band listed on the 70H is somehow 2 inches larger than the 75. So what are these numbers on bras that say "0 bras entered" exactly?

  • They come from a sister model (=model with the same cut) or from sister sizes, I guess.

  • ^^ Yes.

    It is explained on this help page as well:
    http://www.bratabase.com/help/calculations/#Interpolated

    Of course, the interpolated measurements are estimates, best way to get real numbers is to pester those who have the bras and to add them here ;)

    The stretched band measurement should not be taken religiously. It can vary based on who stretched it, state of the bra and on plain inconsistency of the manufacturer.
    For me, the best way to consume the stretched band measurement is by looking at all the separate entries, then I get a better sense of how it behaves than just the average because this number can have a lot of variation.
