I am having difficulty buying a bra because I'm not sure which of the two sizes I am. It is also hard for me to buy lingerie because I wear a size 6 and my breasts are too big. Thanks to anyone who can help me with both problems.

The frame size is the diameter around your chest JUST BELOW your breasts. Using the tape measure, measure around your ribcage directly under your breasts.
To determine the bra size, add 5 to this number. If the number you get is odd, round up to the next even number. For example, if your frame size is 26 inches, when you add 5 to this you get 31 inches. You should therefore round up to the even number which is 32 inches (since bras only come in even numbers). This is your bra size, 32 inches.
Your Breast Size
The next measurement goes around the chest over and including the fullest part of your bust (usually at the level of the nipples). Technically, you should take this measurement while wearing a comfortable bra. This is the diameter of your chest+breast.
Your Cup Size
Now, take the chest + breast size number, and subtract your bra size number. That'll be the cup size.
DDD or also known as F = 6-7 inches difference.
DD or also known as E = 4 1/2 to 6 inches difference

The letters represent the width of the ladies body. The number is is size of the actual boob itself. So if you have a ddd and then a e the e means that you are basically fatter than a lady who wears a ddd. I am a natural 44DD and I love my big boobs. I was your size in middle school. Rock on girl.

There is no triple D, but E is the next size up from DD and those sizes are pretty close.

I have never ever heard of a triple D before. And I have had big DD going on E breasts all my life. Maybe it was just this one manufacturer?

Well usually it just goes DD and then E. But I would say they are pretty close to the same size.
