My mom and I measured me and we thought I was a 38D, but I might be a 36 DD. there is 5 or six inch difference between the bust measurement and the other one. Please tell me the correct way.

I provided the link also.
Measure around your rib cage, underneath your breasts, where the band of your bra sits. Make sure to pull the tape snug and keep it flat against your back. Add 5 to this number (if you end up with an odd number, round up to the closest even number). This number is your bra size. Example: 29 inches +5 = size 34.
Measure around the fullest part of your breast, again keeping the tape snug, but not tight, and parallel to the rib-cage line. If this measurement is an odd number, round up to the next even number. Example: 37 inches rounds up to 38.
To determine your cup size, subtract the first measurement from the second.
Example: 38 minus 34 = 4:
1-inch difference = A cup;
2-inch difference= B cup;
3-inch difference = C cup;
4-inch difference= D cup,
5-inch difference = DD cup.
6-inch difference = F cup.
7-inch difference = G cup.
8-inch difference = H cup.
So the examples result in a bra size of 34D, so this would be a good starting point to try to find the right bra for you

You can try the method that Vanillababe posted, except I think adding 5 inches is possibly going to result in a band size that is too big and a cup size that is too small. Try adding 3 inches to the underbust measurement instead. Round up or down to the nearest even number if necessary and do everything else the same.
So for example, if your underbust measurement is 31 inches, you add 3 to make your band size 34. Then you measure around the fullest part of the bust. Let's say this is 37 inches. The difference between the band size and bust measurement is 3 inches, which is a C cup. In this case you would be a 34C.

If there is a Lord & Taylor store in your city, go to the lingerie department. The sales clerks are good at measuring for bras.
