I've tried "sister size" and it just doesn't fit right. I think it's a ploy by the bra sellers to get you to buy something when they're out of your size.

never heard of the saying and would shop elsewhere if they didnt have my size.. but Ive never had the problem anywhere..
Once having been "properly measured", I was told I should wear an H cup.
Just try to find a bra in an H cup. You can occasionally find them online, but try finding one under $50 and available to be tried on - and no, I do NOT think it is ok to go to one of those expensive bra stores and try them on there but then look for them at a discount price online.
The only G/H cup I have found affordably is way smaller than the labeled size. It fit me nearly the same as the last C cup I bought. It might be equivalent to a D cup, but definitely not the G/H cup it claimed.
So do I wear "sister" sizes? No. I can't get anywhere near my actual size. The sister sizes are out of range as well.
And no, I am not particularly well endowed. Its just that almost every woman out there is wearing a much smaller cup size than they actually need because of the crazy way we've assigned and measured for bra sizes for years.
Ditto. I had no idea what this meant. I still don't know why it's called sister size.
If you go down a band size, go up a cup size. If you go up a band size, go down a cup size.
In order to get my "proper" size in a "sister" size, I would have to go up 6" in a band size to a C cup size and then tailor the band to fit. That's a big tailoring job. I'm also not convinced that going that far afield in "sister" sizes would actually get me a cup size to fit even post-band-tailoring.
Google is your friend in these situations. Or is it a man-deficiency, similar to refusing to stop and ask for directions?

LOL. Maybe it's a man deficiency. To me, "sister" means two females who are usually genetically related. I guess in this context it just means "close" or "similar"
Not all bras have three rows of eyes. Some have only two, some have three, I have at least one bra with 4. So, that's not necessarily true of the usefulness of the band. I understand what you're saying though, but I would rather go up a band size and down a cup size (wherever possible).
Sorry, I guess more correctly, I'm talking about "columns" of eyes. It's true that the taller the band, the more "rows" there are.
The vast majority of bras have three vertical "columns" of eyes.
I wouldn't buy a bra with two columns ... that would seem to me like a corner cutting measure resulting in a cheap, shoddy bra. One with four columns seems to be overcompensating for a band that will stretch to an extreme.
As well you should! Bras and periods are an unjust burden on the distaff side. DH says so frequently.
But, nope, never heard of "sister size". Heard of sistering 2x4's....
You had to mention periods didn't you?
