Some stores, like Victoria secret, can measure you out to tell u your precise size.

get a tape measeure and measure how much around your chest is right under your boobs(dont measure your boobs too) If you have an odd number, go to the nearest even number becuz they only come in even numbers. That will be ur number, just try on the cup sizes and see what fits.
Most of the time if you can cup your whole breast with one hand then u r an A cup. So if u measure 34A then thats how u would do it. If you have a little more than and handful then your prob a B cup but your going to have to try them on if you have a lot more than a handful darling! Thats the best way I know of to explain it.

Get a tape measure that's in inches. Ok. Measure the area under your boobs. For example, if you get 31, your number is 36 (add 5 to your measurement). If it ends in a fraction, round it up to the next inch. Then, measure around your nipple area. If the measurement is one more than your number, then it is A. If the measurement is two inches more than your number, then it is B, and so on. It is not the exact size, but it will be pretty close. Or you could just do what my nonenglish-speaking mom did: try on a bunch of sizes and see what fits.

Do yourself a favour and get fitted properly for a bra. You won't be sorry! They do it for free in most Lingerie stores or Underwear departments in the local store. If you have the correct bra, you have AMAZING results.
The size : 36 is your chest size and the C or D is the cup or breast size.

the number is chest circumference in inches
the letter is for the cup size, small (letter A) to larger cups (letter D) ect. ect.
