Last week I asked you to guess my bra cup size, and many of you were right or close! But lots were way off and I think we have to ask ourselves why that is.
For years, media has portrayed DDs as this mythical massive b**b size and apart from the fact that cup size actually means very little without the band size, it’s also just not true! The letters are simply a representation of the difference in measurement between your band size and cup size, so if your band is 32 and your overbust is 36 then you would be a D cup. This represents a 4” difference between your underbust and overbust and cup sizes will change in volume with the increase in band size.
My size – 32G – gets shocked looks when I mention it and it’s tricky to find on the high street, but it isn’t necessarily what many would consider big b***s.
So why does this matter? Well, until we get rid of this myth that DD = big b***s many people will be cursed to wear the wrong size bra and will never understand why they are uncomfortable and unsupported (unless you shop at Molke of course!)
