A less precise definition is one pica equals 0.166 inches (4.2 mm), and one point 0.01383 inches (0.351 mm).

An underwire size 30 width has a curvature diameter of 3 + 5 ⁄ 6 inches (9.7 cm) and this diameter increases by 1 ⁄ 3 inch (0.85 cm) by size. [101] The table below shows volume calculations for some cups that can be found in a ready-to-wear large size shop. [102]

Both models can be described as 15 mm, but the real world sizes depend on the size of the reference humanoid. In practice, the reference humanoid is generally assumed to be the idea of the average height of the human male, within a 6-inch (15 cm) interval between 5.5 and 6 feet (168 and 183 cm), unless otherwise indicated by the designer.
