Decoding Dual-Label Bra Tags in India (e.g. 32/80, 34/85, 36/90)
A frequent source of confusion when reading bra tags in Indian retail stores is seeing numbers separated by a slash, such as 32/80 or 34/85.
📌 Decoding 32/80 & 34/85 Tags
These dual labels do not indicate two different size choices. Instead, they print the inch band size alongside the French centimeter band size:
- 32/80: 32 inches underbust (IN/US/UK) = 80 cm French underbust (70 cm EU).
- 34/85: 34 inches underbust (IN/US/UK) = 85 cm French underbust (75 cm EU).
- 36/90: 36 inches underbust (IN/US/UK) = 90 cm French underbust (80 cm EU).
Understanding this dual labeling prevents shoppers from mistakenly assuming “80” refers to a bust measurement in centimeters or a plus-size band.
