Which measurements give a 44C
The label is a band and a cup, not a body measurement. Each of the three published rules turns the same label into different measurements.
| Method | Underbust (in) | Underbust (cm) | Bust (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underbust method | 43 to 45 in | 109.22 to 114.3 cm | 46.5 to 47.5 in |
| Add-4 method | 38.5 to 40.5 in | 97.79 to 102.87 cm | 46.5 to 47.5 in |
| EU method, band 100 | 38.39 to 40.35 in | 97.5 to 102.5 cm | Cup read in cm |
Each range includes its first figure and stops just short of its last.

- 1 band down42D
- 1 band up46B
- 2 bands up48A
The US and UK tags both show 44C, while EU uses 100C. The FR/BE label is 115C, and AU/NZ uses 22C. The band number changes across these systems, while the cup letter stays C.
Published charts disagree on which underbust range gives band 44: the underbust method and add-4 method use non-overlapping ranges. For 44C, both methods place the bust range at 46.5 to 47.5 in. The EU method gives this size the label 100C.
JP writes 44C as 100D, with D instead of the C used in the EU label. JP letters vary by brand. The sister size 48A appears in the other listed systems, but no JP label is listed for that step.
