Did You Know?

Did you know that the concept of measuring cups can be traced back to ancient Egypt? Egyptians used containers made from various materials, such as ceramics or metal, to measure ingredients for their culinary endeavors. So, in a way, we owe our modern A and B cups to the clever minds of ancient Egyptians!

History behind the term 'A And B Cup'

1913

The Birth of Cup Sizing

In 1913, the term 'cup sizing' was first introduced by the innovative corset company, Warner’s. They realized that women's breasts could not be adequately supported by the traditional corsets, which only focused on waist cinching. Warner’s revolutionized the industry by introducing different cup sizes to provide a more accurate and comfortable fit. This introduced the concept of cups as a measurement for bra sizes.

1935

Lettering System for Cup Sizes

In 1935, the lettering system for cup sizes was developed by the S.H. Camp and Company. They assigned letters A, B, C, and so on, to represent different cup sizes. Initially, the lettering system only included a few sizes, and the exact measurements varied from brand to brand. However, it laid the foundation for standard cup sizing in the future.

1948

The A and B Cup Sizes

By 1948, the A and B cup sizes became more widely accepted and recognized within the lingerie industry. This standardization allowed for more accurate measurements and enhanced the shopping experience for women. The A cup represented a smaller bust size, while the B cup indicated a slightly larger bust size. The development of these cup sizes facilitated the availability of bras that catered to a broader range of body types.

1980s

Further Expansion of Cup Sizes

In the 1980s, the lingerie industry experienced increased demand for a wider range of cup sizes to accommodate the diverse body shapes and sizes of women. Bra manufacturers began introducing additional cup sizes, such as AA (for extremely small busts) and DD (for larger busts). This expansion allowed for a more precise fitting experience and better support for women.
