Problem with measuring

I am 100% sure we've talked about this before Jj but... do we really have to measure from the tip of the underwire to the tip of the gore when measuring cup width? I am getting a bunch of things saying my cup width is too small on few of my bras but that is because they have such low gores I measured straight across. I don't want to say I'm 110% sure if I am doing it wrong though, and messing up the measurements. =/ I think I have been measuring this way almost the whole time too...

  • I measure between the tips of the two wires, I thought that is what the picture in the guide said, is that what you do?

  • No, I felt that low gores threw off the cup width measurements, making them seem wider than they were. I may have actually measured some the way the pic said, forgotten, then made up my own logical conclusion, then I got a few flagged bras and revisited the pic and realized it conflicted with how I decided to do it.
