1 - Measure below your breasts (band size)
Use a soft tape measure. To obtain your band size measurement, measure very snugly around your rib cage, just underneath your breasts. It should feel tight. Be sure that the tape measure lies straight all the way around. Enter this figure in the pink Below field (1). This measurement can be in inches or centimeters.
2 - Measure around your breasts and back (bust size)
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust (usually over the nipples), keeping the tape measure straight all the way around your body. Enter this figure in the blue Bust field (2). This measurement can be in inches or centimeters but must be the same as in step 1.
3 - Measure above your breasts (above bust size)
Measure snugly around your rib cage above your breasts and under your arms kepping the tape measure level all the way around. Enter this figure in the green Above field (3). This measurement can be in inches or centimeters but must be the same as in steps 1 & 2. note: This third measurement is optional. If you leave this field empty, your bra size will be calculated using only the first two measurements, however, in order to obtain the most accurate results you are recomended to use all three measurements.
4 - Calculate your bra size
Click on Calculate and your international bra sizes will be calculated and displayed in the relevant fields.

Go to the bra section in Kmart and get your answer! Don't be afraid when you see the mighty big ones. They won't hurt you,...I repeat...they won't hurt you!!! But beware of the granny panties section, you may see things there that could give you nightmares for years. Do not, I repeat, do not mistaken them for boat tarps. I believe the correct term for these particular undies are "Parachute panties".
I believe that if the need was there, they would make all 26 letters of the alphabet. But a size "z"bra would be mighty mighty big and impossible. Personally, when I was prego I took a size "F" yes, I was ready to topple over. But I have heard of someone having a size "H" as well. I'm not sure if there are sizes higher than that.

okay, here it is the wider and fuller a breast is the bigger the cup size, "A" is pretty much training bra territory. Girls 12, 13 , 14 would have an "A" cup, or an extremely petite girl, maybe one that weighs 90 pounds. "B" is a little fuller. "C" is what most women want to be, D and DD and DDD are very big and many times can be overweight women or women who have has augmentation surgery, and then gain weight. Frequently women who have not ever had children will stay in the "B" category, because when a woman has a baby her breasts get bigger due to milk, which doesn't happen to non-child bearing women. Aren't you glad you asked.

Bra sizes, and it works like this:
The chest under the breasts are measured and then the bust is measured. the two numbers are subtracted from each other and the amoount remaining is the cup size, which is a letter, 1 inch equals A, 2"=B, 3"=C etc, NO there are NOT 26 sizes, but there are double and triple letter sizes like AA and DDD. (The number on the bra size is the chest measurement, NOT the bust measurement)

They are indeed bra sizes. The letter gets larger with larger breasts. If the size difference between the ribcage and the largest part of the breast is 1 inch, it's an A cup. 2 inches is a B...3 is a C and so on.

They are bra sizes. A cups are smallest, then B, C, and D is the largest. There are different sizes within these letter categories.

Bra size includes parts: the number, which is the distance around, and the letter, which indicates the size of the actual breast. 34A refers to a chest 34 inches around almost flat-chested; 34D refers to a chest 34 inches around with big breasts. Since "34 inches" includes the breasts, you can see that the 34D person must have a skinnier rib cage than the 34A person.

Umm that would be refering to the size of a womans bra cup.. It refers to the size of the actual breast, where the number that normally goes with it, refers to the size of your chest...

Example: 36D the D stands for the actual size and shape of the breast. The 36 is the size around the womans body.

Cup size is determined by measuring under the bust (chest size) and measuring the breast at its fullest point.
Ever inch difference is the cup size.
So if the chest measurement is 34 and the breast measurement is 38, you have a D cup
