Key Tips for Bra Sizing in Ireland:
- Measure Correctly: Use a measuring tape to get the underbust (band) and bust (cup) size. It's crucial to stand straight and measure snugly without pulling too tight.
- Check the Fit: A well-fitting bra should sit flat against your chest, the straps should not dig in, and the band should feel snug but not too tight.
- Band vs Cup: Band size is the number (28, 30, 32, etc.), and cup size is the letter (A, B, C, etc.). The cup size relates to the difference between bust and underbust measurement.
- Sizing Systems: Ireland follows the UK bra sizing system, so most retailers offer sizes that match UK standards. However, EU and US sizes may differ slightly.
- Conversion Differences: The main difference is in the labeling, where EU sizes use smaller numbers for the same band size (e.g., UK 32 = EU 70).
