Sister sizes: a similar cup volume, three sizes
A sister size is a bra size with about the same cup volume but a different band: go down one band and up one cup, or up one band and down one cup. For example, 34C has the sister sizes 32D and 36B.
The rule
- Band too tight? Take the sister size up: 75C → 80B.
- Band riding up, straps slipping? Take the sister size down: 75C → 70D.
- The cup letter changes; the cup volume stays close.

Why sister sizes matter when you shop
Two situations call for a sister size. First, fit: if a bra is perfect in the cup but wrong in the band, the sister size fixes the band while keeping a similar volume. Second, availability: many brands don't produce every combination, so knowing your sisters widens your options in the sale rack. The Cherry Size app shows your sister sizes automatically with every estimate.
