There's a reason the "ditch the tape measure" conversation is happening in the UK first.
UK sizing uses tighter band conventions and finer cup gradations. The eye has less room to miss.
Classical American sizing grades differently. Bands sized differently. Cups graded differently. The eye alone, in this system, has more room to be wrong by a full size in either direction.
Measurement isn't a UK-versus-US debate. It's the bridge that keeps the methodology consistent across both. And for the American specialty retailer fitting true plus-size bodies, it's not optional.
