Background and Experience

From spreadsheet to tool

Amelia’s first version was a spreadsheet for explaining sister sizes. Michael turned it into a calculator anyone could use without understanding the formula.

Why conversion is hard

Bra sizing systems diverge above a D cup, and they diverge differently: UK sizing doubles some letters, EU and French bands are in centimetres, and Japanese and Korean labels follow their own steps. Michael’s conversion logic maps a result across all of them rather than assuming a straight letter swap.

How We Work

Every size result on the site follows one published calculation methodology: the band is the snug underbust rounded to the nearest even number, with no inches added, and each cup letter is one inch of full bust over the band. Every guide follows our editorial policy. We do not accept payment for recommendations, and we correct errors when readers report them.
