DD CUP BRAS
The cup size ‘DD’ is the same in all brands in theory, however in practical terms one DD cup in one brand could be a different size in another brand, but usually not by much. It’s important to note that not all brands carry a DD. Those brands that do not carry a DD cup are usually European and their E cup is equal to the Australian or UK DD cup.
It’s also important to note that as the back band increases so does the size of the cup. The DD cup of a 16DD is bigger than the DD cup of a 12DD. So in actual fact a 16DD is 2 cup sizes bigger than a 12DD. So, not all DDs are the same size. The size of the back band actually changes the size of the cup.
Over the years DD cups have been portrayed to be huge, associated with busty models and it can be difficult to find a bra in a DD cup, but in our extensive experience if you are a DD cup you are in proportion. In actual fact, a DD cup at Brava is one of the smallest cups we fit. Many women believe they are a DD cup because that’s all that has been offered to them in the past. We estimate that most women who visit Brava for the first time and tell us they are a DD cup, 50% would be closer to an E, F or FF cup. But remember the bra band could be too big, so when we fit a smaller back band on our customers this decreases the cup size too so then the cup size then must go up to compensate.
