First, one measures around the rib cage below the breasts and adds five to the result. This gives us the band size--the numerical part of 34C. Then one measures across the nipples.
The difference between the band size and the nipple measurement gives the cup size. Less than one inch is AA, one inch is A, two inches is B, and on up to five inches, DD.
Above double D, things get more complicated.
but clearly what was meant here was "on an off-the-shelf basis." The biggest noncustom size Doug turned up was 54LL, but in trying to figure out what this meant in terms of, you know, bushels, we encountered another problem--above DD there's no such thing as standardized measurement. Some establishments go up by pairs, as in D, DD, E, EE, F, FF, and so on, while others, perhaps wishing to leave room for future expansion, go up in triples, D, DD, DDD, E, EE, EEE, etc. The 54LL shop uses the pair method, so presumably a double-L cup size exceeds the band size by 21 inches. (You're thinking, how does a woman like that stand upright? Answer: with difficulty. Many large-breasted women endure chronic back pain.)

The letter is the cup size. the number (ex. 32, 34, etc.) is the band size or the size around. It's completely normal not to understand it.
