Claire Bennett is the bra fit educator and founder behind Bra Size Calculator. Before launching the site, she spent 10+ years measuring and fitting shoppers in specialty lingerie boutiques. [ADD REAL DATA: city or region, boutique background details, and optional secondary social/profile links.]
How She Approaches Bra Sizing
Claire teaches a measure-first method built around your real snug underbust measurement rather than the old store "+4 inches" rule. A bra band carries roughly 80% of bust weight, so getting the band snug and level solves most strap pain and cup gaping right away.
She also treats every calculator result as a starting point rather than a rigid law. Breast shape, tissue softness, and how firm a specific brand dyes or knits its elastic all affect whether you prefer your baseline size or a sister size.
