I’ve lost a lot of weight recently, but astonishingly my cup size appears to have increased. How is that possible?  

Once you know how your cup size is calculated, you will understand how this can happen.  

Despite what a lot of people think, the cup size doesn’t always correspond to a fixed volume. The basic calculation is based on the difference between the chest size under and over the cup. A difference of 15-16 cm corresponds to a B cup, 17-18 cm to a C cup and so on. The difference is often a few millimetres and the result is highly dependent on how you measure. You should always have yourself measured by an expert. Avoid the do-it-yourself approach.  

Since you’ve slimmed down, the difference between your measurement under and over the breasts appears to have increased. Put simply, you’ve lost more weight off your torso than your breasts. So, while the volume of your breasts has been reduced, your cup size has increased.
