The bra sizing method used by Jockey is definitely better than that used by most American brands, and, in theory, it should work well. In order to find your size, you take plastic molded cups of many sizes, put them over your breasts, and decide which "volume" fits your breasts. Then you measure your chest in order to find the correct fitting band. Then you get a bra that has your specific band size with your specific cup volume size. Seems sensible, right? My sister and I wear pretty much the same bra size, but her bands are slightly longer and my cups are ... slightly bigger. Her "favorite" bra before the Jockey fitting was a 34B Lily of France Push-Up. My favorite bra before this fitting (and still is) is Panache Porcelain in 30DD. "Volumewise" my sister felt the size 01 cup fit her best. I felt the size 02 cup fit me best. We were both sized for the 30 bands. My sister put the 30 on the last clip and she was able to put it on the middle clip. We both tried sizes 01/30 and 02/30. She found 01/30 to be perfect for her: soft, comfortable, supportive, and smooth, with nice shaping. She says she doesn't feel like she's wearing a bra at all. So, for her, Jockey's sizing method is a win. I put the size 30 band on the tightest hook, and it was basically swimming on me. The size 01 volume band was too narrow, too deep, and the underwires did not emcompass my breasts. The cups sat on top of my tissue, squishing the edges of my breasts, and they were too narrow to offer support for my tissue. Even though I knew the 30 was too big, it would be workable if I got a really good cup fitting. Size 02/30 was better than 01/30, cup-wise, but, bottom line, is the cups are not shaped for my breast shape, regardless of "volume". If you have narrow roots and front projection this bra might fit like it's made just for you. If you have wide roots,wide breastbone, and need lift for projection, this bra isn't going to do much for you.
