Consider the curve, width and height together: a similar overall length does not necessarily mean the same fit. The wire should follow the breast root without resting on breast tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ad6f36;\"\u003eDo not choose by cup size alone.\u003c\/strong\u003e Underwire sizing varies between suppliers, and these Size 1–5 labels do not directly correspond to standard bra cup sizes.
