Question 1

Is a 48D the same in every brand?

Accepted Answer

No - a 48D isn't identical across brands, because brands use different sizing systems and cup depths. Here's how a standard US 48D translates in the brands we track: ThirdLove 48D, Wacoal 48D, Panache 48D, Bravissimo 48D, Freya 48D, Elomi 48D, Glamorise 48D, b.tempt'd 48D, Fantasie 48D. SHEFIT, Kindred Bravely, ENELL size by their own chart instead of band/cup.

Question 2

What are the sister sizes for 48D?

Accepted Answer

48D's sister sizes — same cup volume, different band — are 46DD and 50C. Try a sister size if the band feels too tight or loose but the cup still fits.
