bra size conversion

Mochi

Hi, everyone. I really need to get offline so I will thank everyone in advance if you can help. I want to order more of the prima donna miracle bras online at cheaper prices, but now as I'm looking at the tag on the one I bought, I only see European sizes. EU 85, FR 100F, UK 38. And on the websites here they only list them in US sizes, and conversion tables online look very sketchy and simplistic. What's a very trustworthy way to figure out the size? I checked just now, and even Prima Donna's own website lists them in US sizes, so no help! Thanks again.

Is there contact info on their website? You might want to try asking them directly.

Thanks. Am on hold right now with the store I purchased this one at. Ok, I'm off the phone now. Very confused but didn't want to keep her on. There is a discrepancy in sizes between US and European bras, meaning they are not going to be exact equivalents. I could therefore be a 38 D, a 38 DD or maybe with fuller coverage (as opposed to balconette style) a 36 DD. Ack. What a pain. All right, will consider based on whether I can return things for free, etc., if it's worth it to go online for a slightly lower price with possibility of less exact fitting. Thanks.

Does the tag inside your bra list both size systems ? Le Mystere does that.

No, that's the problem, but according to Intimacy, there is no exact equivalent and it's more intuitive (they've never gone by sizes when I've been there--always trying on a different assortment of sizes).

I'm going to call herroom.com right now to see what they say, because they list only 38D in this model. I may have to keep buying my bras in-store to get the kind of guaranteed fit I want, meaning pay more. Which I would prioritize. Sigh.

Well,this chart is an exact match for my French Lejaby bras (34C/75C/90C on the tag) but they do say that it's much more inexact for larger sizes, so I don't know...

I like figleaves a lot, and shipping/returns are cheap (although a bit slow) even though they are a UK company... however, it does not look like they have Prima Donna bras.

I'm on hold with herroom.com and not confident based on what she's said. I already think I know how this wil pan out. I'll be spending more in-store. Sigh. There are worse problems but again....being huge, blahhhhhh.

Is there a model code number on the bra somewhere you can google?

Okay, so customer service rep gave me the wise idea to go into a store that has *US* sizes, find out what works, and then I could order online. So initial time investment but maybe that's the way to go. Not even considering that I may be getting a smaller cup size if I lose more weight, but I could go insane if I think too much about this. All right, carry on! Thanks again for suggestions, ladies.
