Finding a bra that fits well helps you feel confident and comfortable every day. If you shop for bras in Iceland or from European brands, you need to know your Icelandic bra size.

Try our Icelandic Bra Size Calculator below!

Finding a bra that fits perfectly is wonderful! It helps you feel comfortable and supported. But bra sizes can be confusing because different places measure differently. Icelandic bra sizes usually follow the standard European (EU) system. This means they use centimeters (cm) for measuring and have band sizes like 70, 75, 80, and cup sizes like A, B, C.

Knowing your correct Icelandic bra size (which is the same as your EU size) helps when shopping for bras in Iceland or from European brands. Using an accurate bra size calculator is the easiest way to figure it out! This guide and our Iceland bra size calculator (reiknivél fyrir brjóstahaldara stærð Ísland) make understanding íslenskar brjóstahaldara stærðir simple!

How to Measure for the Icelandic Bra Size Calculator

Finding your Icelandic bra size (using the EU system) starts with simple measurements using a soft measuring tape and centimeters (cm)! Getting accurate measurements is key for using any bra size calculator correctly. General guides like this one on taking body measurements for sewing show the basics.

1. Measure Your Underbust (Ummál undir brjóstum): Wear a non-padded bra or no bra. Breathe out normally. Wrap the tape measure firmly around your body, right underneath your breasts where the bra band should sit. Keep the tape straight and snug.
   Write down this number in cm.
2. Measure Your Bust (Ummál yfir brjóst): Keep the tape level and wrap it loosely around the fullest part of your breasts. Don’t pull the tape too tight.
   Write down this number in cm too.
3. Use the Bra Size Calculator: Enter your underbust measurement (cm) and your bust measurement (cm) into the Iceland bra size calculator above.
4. Get Your Result: Click the calculate button! Our bra size calculator will suggest your Icelandic (EU) bra size (like 75B or 80C).

Easy Tip: Stand in front of a mirror to keep the tape measure level. Asking someone you trust for help can make measuring easier!

How (EU) Icelandic Bra Sizes Work (and the Calculator Helps!)

Icelandic bra sizing follows the standard European (EU) method. Here’s how the bra size calculator figures it out:

• Band Size (Stærð á spöng): The band number (70, 75, 80…) comes directly from your underbust measurement in cm. Each number covers a small range.
  • 68-72 cm underbust ≈ 70 band
  • 73-77 cm underbust ≈ 75 band
  • 78-82 cm underbust ≈ 80 band
  • 83-87 cm underbust ≈ 85 band
    (Our calculator determines this band number for you!)
• Cup Size (Skálastærð): The letter (A, B, C, D…) shows the difference between your bust measurement (cm) and your underbust measurement (cm). The bra size calculator finds the cup based on this difference:
  • ~12-14 cm difference ≈ A cup
  • ~14-16 cm difference ≈ B cup
  • ~16-18 cm difference ≈ C cup
  • ~18-20 cm difference ≈ D cup
  • ~20-22 cm difference ≈ E cup

Using our online bra size calculator makes finding your Icelandic/EU size easy!

What Your Icelandic Bra Size Means

Your calculated Icelandic bra size (e.g., 75C or 80B) from the bra size calculator helps you shop for bras using the EU system common in Iceland. Remember that fit can still vary a bit between different styles and brands.
You can compare your Icelandic/EU size to other systems using our US Bra Size Calculator or UK Bra size Calculator.

Bodies change, so remeasuring and using a bra size calculator every year is smart. If you feel between sizes, sister sizes might help. If a 75B band feels loose, try 70C (smaller band, bigger cup). If 75B feels tight, try 80A (bigger band, smaller cup). Our Sister Size Finder explains this.

Fixing Common Bra Fit Problems

Getting the right íslensk brjóstahaldara stærð, often found using a bra size calculator, can solve many issues!

• Band Rides Up Back? Band number (70, 75…) is likely too big. Try a smaller band number, bigger cup (e.g., change 80A to 75B).
• Straps Dig In? Check band fit first. If straps still dig, the style might be wrong.
• Spilling Out? Need a bigger cup letter (skálastærð).
• Gaps in Cups? Cup might be too big, or style is wrong. Try smaller cup or different style.
• Wire Pokes? Size or style is likely incorrect.

Changing International Sizes to Icelandic bra size (EU)

Converting sizes to Icelandic bra sizes (which are the same as EU sizes) requires a conversion chart or bra size calculator if you know your size in a different system.

• US/UK to Icelandic/EU: Needs conversion. (e.g., US/UK 32 ≈ IS/EU 70; US/UK 34 ≈ IS/EU 75). Cup letters often align up to D, then check carefully (UK DD ≈ EU E).
• French (FR) to Icelandic/EU: Subtract 15 from the French band number. Cup letter stays the same. (e.g., FR 90B = IS/EU 75B).
• Italian (IT) to Icelandic/EU: Needs conversion. (e.g., IT 1 ≈ IS/EU 70; IT 2 ≈ IS/EU 75). Cup letters are usually the same.
• AU to Icelandic/EU: Needs conversion. (e.g., AU 10 ≈ IS/EU 70; AU 12 ≈ IS/EU 75). Cup letters often align up to D/DD.

Accurate measurements are key! Trust your cm measurements with the Icelandic bra size calculator. Guides like this one on measurement accuracy are helpful.

Underbust (cm)	Icelandic/EU Band Size	Approx. US/UK Band	Approx. French Band	Approx. Italian Band
68-72 cm	70	32	85	1
