DD+ Bra Sizes Have Several Names

Gigi's Closet's famous DD+ department continues to help full-chested women find bras that fit just right. However, you need to know that while American cup size ranges are A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, there are several brands that measure a bit differently. For example, Elle MacPherson bras are made for sizes A, B, C, D, DD, E. And most French brands, like Aubade and Lejaby, run A, B, C, D, E, F, G. So a DDD cup would be an F cup in their bras. DD cups would be an E cup. So, remember that if you are a DD or a DDD cup, also search for E and F cups because they will fit too. This will give you a wider range of DD+ bras to choose from. You can always check our fitting room that offers the size ranges for each brand to make sure you are purchasing the right sizes.

Bra Sizing for the Digital Age

iPhones really do have everything! While I don't have one myself, I've caught many glimpses of my friends' while they whip theirs out to look up subway schedules or restaurants we want to go to or even tickets to concerts we want to purchase. Of course, they can be used for pretty much anything these days, but I'd never thought I'd say they now even have a bra sizing guide. While Gigi's Closet offers their own bra-fitting guide, this is another good source for finding your right bra size — in case you're ever in a bra-fitting crunch.

The new Bra-Fitter app gives you instructions on how to measure yourself, then takes your measurements and offers various bra size suggestions that correlate with them. As if that wasn't enough, it even allows you to convert your size to various countries' standards. And it offers images of how a decent fitting bra should look. All I can say to that is: What will they think of next?
