Nope. I worked for that American company you are refering to and we were taught to measure underband and bust. Never a third measurement. That is very strange and I have never seen that done any where. That's NOT the "American" way.

I disagree. Your bra is not only to keep up the sisters, it's also tightened in to a moving area. If you get too tight bras they will constrain your ability to breathe normally. 🫁

I had a shop ask me once where my nipples were as that’s how to measure for size properly.

M&S always told me I was a 40DD and as a result I had a double bust and no support. I was actually a 36FF

I stopped trusting M&S when they tried putting me in a 34 back, but I had already measured my back size and got 30 (I only wanted to get a fit for the cup size as I didnt know how to calculate it) that was enough for me to question everything about their accuracy.

Glyn.2009 :
Question please, when you measure the back size, is this the size you would use for the band ? It is normal for the bra supplied to be 4-5 inches smaller ? As an example, if it measures 48 around would you expect the bra to be a 42 that’s so tight it digs in ? Thanks for any help

When did the +4 method go away? It still seems so common!

I went to an independent bra shop and they measured me completely wrong. My band size was way bigger than I needed and all that money down the drain because I can’t wear the bra

They measured me at a 34DD but the bra cup is too big & the straps tend to fall down a bit, what size would you recommend me trying out? The band size is perfect, just the cups are a size too big.

I’ve never been measured the “American” way (from south eastern USA) but I have never actually been measured accurately by anyone anywhere anyway. I have found a few ladies (especially on TikTok) that showed and taught me how to measure myself and I now have bras that fit well and comfortably.

the +4 puts me in a band size bigger than the overbust measurement which is why I've never gone for a fitting

I went to one shop in NYC, taken into a fitting room, and with one look the fitter came back with the most perfect bras. It was an amazing experience.

How do you know what style of bra you should wear? I’ve just changed from a full cup bra to a padded T-shirt bra and it made such a difference.
