Basic rule of thumb, if you need to go up a cup size, you go down a back size. Down a back size, up a cup size.

Different styles always have different sizing eg. a balconet bra usually has smaller sizing than a full cup bra.]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 21:28:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=986250&title=bras#986250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=986217&title=bras#986217 Author: MrsH

Ooh, I went to Bendon today and bought a gorgeous set but yes, for some reason a 14C didn't fit well around the back so she said the next best thing was a 12D...... She said that the back size is relative to the cup size. I think it's always been like that but I only just realised. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 21:03:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=986217&title=bras#986217 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985694&title=bras#985694 Author: clover

I'm kinda glad I don't have big ones, you ladies who do seem to have awful trouble finding bras.

I guess I'll just be happy that I'm now a C cup instead of a B.]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:58:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985694&title=bras#985694 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985646&title=bras#985646 Author: Mucky_Tiger

That sounds like the perfect logic for me! I'm not an A cup, I'm a B and they changed the sizing! ]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:18:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985134&title=bras#985134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985054&title=bras#985054 Author: LouD

Is it the same style of bra? Ive got a few different styles and i range from 12DD to a 14F..........go figure.....but different sizing. Im pretty much a DD or an E while BFing, but if i find one on special thats say a DD and doesnt quite fit then i go up a back size to accomodate the smaller cup size.........sorry i prob just confused you]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:14:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985054&title=bras#985054 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985001&title=bras#985001 Author: clover

Has anyone noticed that the sizing of bras has changed? I just brought a few (bendon stores have 30-50% off btw) and I've gone up a cup size. It just doesn't make sense to me, I've always been a b, all my other bras still fit but today I've had to buy a c cup. I'm a bit puzzled by it.

I'm stil a 10, but I wondered if maybe I was slightly biger around the back measurement and that might somehow affect the cup size.

I know that this is a stupid question but it is really puzzling me....]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:38:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32603&PID=985001&title=bras#985001
