Bra Size Calculator for Narrow Breasts
Note: This calculator is optimized for narrow breasts.
Here’s a table summarizing important considerations:
Aspect | What You Need to Know |
---|---|
Breast Shape | Narrow, more projected (forward-facing) with less width across the chest. |
Cup Shape | Deep cups with a narrow underwire, to accommodate forward projection. |
Best Cup Styles | Full-cup, balconette, plunge, and longline bras. Avoid wide-set cups. |
Band Size | Ensure a snug fit; the band provides most of the support. |
Underwire | Narrow underwire, designed to support without extending too far under the arms. |
Cup Volume Distribution | Bras with more volume towards the center or apex are ideal. |
Projection | Choose bras with projection, allowing for more room in the center. |
Strap Position | Bras with straps closer to the center (not too wide apart) to support narrow shoulders. |
Padding | Light padding or molded cups can help with shaping. |
Material | Soft, flexible material that provides structure without digging into skin. |
Suggested Bra Sizes
For narrow breasts, accurate measurement is key. Here’s how to measure:
- Measure Underbust: Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your rib cage just under your bust.
- Measure Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
- Cup Size: Subtract your underbust measurement from the bust measurement to find your cup size:
- 1-inch difference = A cup
- 2-inch difference = B cup
- 3-inch difference = C cup, etc.
Measurement (Inches) | Band Size | Cup Size |
---|---|---|
27-28 | 32 | A, B, C |
29-30 | 34 | A, B, C, D |
31-32 | 36 | A, B, C, D, DD |
33-34 | 38 | A, B, C, D, DD |
Bra Styles for Narrow Breasts:
Bra Type | Benefits for Narrow Breasts |
---|---|
Balconette | Lifts from below, emphasizes forward projection. |
Plunge | Creates a deep V, great for low-cut tops and adding shape. |
Full-cup | Offers full coverage and support for all breast tissue. |
Longline | Adds support from the band below, distributes weight evenly. |
Demi-cup | Shorter cup height, adds shape without overwhelming narrow breasts. |
These considerations help narrow-breasted women find a comfortable and flattering fit that suits their unique shape.
