HOW +4 WORKS

Why do we add 4 inches?

Foma uses the traditional +4 sizing method. Your underbust measurement is used as the starting point, and 4 inches are added to determine the band size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the +4 sizing method?

The traditional +4 method adds 4 inches to your underbust measurement to calculate the band size.

Underbust 30″ + 4″ = 34 band
Why is my band size higher than my underbust?

This is because Foma uses the traditional +4 sizing method. Four inches are added to the underbust measurement when calculating the band size.

Why can my size be different from another brand?

Different brands may use different sizing systems. This is why the same body measurements can sometimes result in different recommended sizes.

How should a well-fitting bra feel?

The band should feel secure without being painfully tight. The cups should sit smoothly without obvious gaps or spillage, and the straps should feel comfortable without digging into your shoulders.
