Mathematical Formula & Logic
Step-by-Step Worked Calculation
Scenario: Determining Bra and Cup Size
A woman measures her snug underbust at 30 inches and her full bust at 34 inches.
Step 1: Snug Underbust = 30 inches. Her modern band size is 30 or 32.
Step 2: Full Bust = 34 inches.
Step 3: Difference = 34 - 30 = 4 inches.
Step 4: Map 4-inch difference to cup sizes: 1" = A, 2" = B, 3" = C, 4" = D.
Step 5: The resulting starting size is 30D (or 32C as a comfortable sister size).
