Question about bands!
I've noticed a phenomenon that seems strange to my very math-oriented brain. I can have two bras with bands that stretch to the same length, yet one feels tight and one does not. Specifically, it's my Cleo bras vs the Ewa bras I've tried. Both will have a stretched length of about 31.5 inches, but the Cleo bands feel quite tight, and the Ewa bands feel like I could serve to go down a size. Does the unstretched length of the band cause this difference? or is it because of the materials they're made from? any insight?

Another girl with math-oriented brain and with interest in bras. Nice. (I have Master degree from maths :-) )
Anyway how long are these bands? I mean unstretched. I think it would be the reason why one is tight but the second isn't.
AbracaBra I'll go with my beige Cleo Marcie vs. my Ewa SM Ty Weisz:
the Marcie is 25.5 unstretched / 32 stretched. When wearing, it feels the tightest of all my bras.
the Ty Weisz is 25.8 unstretched / 31.8 stretched. When wearing, it feels the loosest of all my bras.
x_X so I guess it's not about how much the bra is stretching, since those are so similar by the numbers and they feel so different... my one other guess could be the surface area of the band, because the band of the Ty Weisz is wider than that of the Marcie.
