Answer 2

Bras, in the US, have two indicators of size, a band size and a cup size, which when combined become the bra size. The band size is expressed in inches, almost exclusively in 2 inch increments, and cup size is expressed in letters, beginning with A, and continuing alphabetically. In the case of cup sizes larger than D, manufactures will often use double or triple letter designations, with each successive letter indicating a larger cup size.

With that in mind, standard bra sizes range from 30A-46DDD. Both larger and smaller sizes are available, but they are often hard to find, and frequently need to be custom made at great cost.

As if this were not confusing enough already, band size, and cup size effect one another in one half size increments, so that the volume of a 32C cup, is smaller than the cup of a 36C cup – in fact – because the 32C band size is two increments smaller than the 36C cup size, and each increment increases the volume of the cup size one half size, the volume of a 36C cup is actually identical to the volume of a 32D cup, through the band size on the 32D is two increments smaller. This knowledge become quite helpful for girls who, when trying on bras find that they are consistently between two different bra sizes. Very likely the proper size for such a girl will be a band size one size smaller, with a cup size one size larger.

With all of this complication, and with people’s general uneasiness with anything having to do with undergarments, is it any wonder that recent estimates suggest that as many as 70% of women are wearing the wrong size bra?

Answer 3

They do have a conversion to metric. Here in Australia we have 12D, 10C, etc. They around your chest under the breast (this gives the number), then measure around the bust at the nipple (the difference in cm between the second and first measurements gives the cup size, the letter).

Answer 4

you have to measure the diameter of boob, nipple as the center point. please apply the geometrical formula of pie*r square , the total area of boob will come up. if total area of your boob is 34" it's 34B if 34 1/2" it's 34C

Answer 5

Listen...unless your a professional boob inspector like I am...you should not get involved.

Just be happy with what you have...and when it comes time to get a reconstruction permit...call me.
