I've done the exact steps to measure my cup and band size that everyone says to do. Every time I measure, though, I get a size 34A...and I'm overflowing out of my 34B! I dont know what size to get! help please.

I suggest you go to a store such as Victoria's Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood (I'm not sure if they are local or widespread), but any lingerie store will measure for you. They are experts at it and can find you what will fit.
If you don't want to buy from them, you can just go in and have them measure anyway.

you are probably measuring wrong. I have tried a dozen times to measure myself at home, and get different answers each time. It is very hard to measure yourself and make sure you have the tape measure in just the right spot.
I would recommend going to any department store, victoria's secret, etc. and have a professional measure you. I prefer nordstroms the best when it comes to lingerie measurements. They are very nice people to work with and will also show you different options etc. for bras and bra fit. you may measure out one size, but you will find brand to brand that you might wear a slightly different size.
Also, be sure to have yourself measured about once a year or so.

There are stores where you can have others measure you to make sure you have done it correctly.
When measuring make sure you are wearig a bra. (for the correct size)
If the band fits good, then try increasing the cup size only. 34c
With bras its hard because each fits differently depending on who made it. You have to try a lot on.

Got to the store get about 4 or 5 diffrent sizes and go intoi the fitting room and try them on and see what fits you best and what is most comfortable. If you try to use a measuring tape you will never find the right one.

I highly recommend going to a store to be professionally measured. If there is a Victoria's Secret around, they do it for free and they aren't weird about it at all. The measurement is done over your clothes, so you don't have to be partially nude with a stranger. They can recommend bras for your body type, too.

Ok. I know that I am a man... but I am pretty sure if you have a deaprtment store in town or perhaps a Victoria's Secret, you can go there and they will help you measure. It's an old-fashioned service and not as oooky as you might think. Very professional. Try there.

I agree with wild-mannered-reporter; send the pic's or better yet I have large hands; hence the ability to measure several cup sizes drop by for free measurements.

well you could go to a victorias secret and have them measure you but if u cant or dont want to, go to a bra store and get a whole bunch of different sizes and try them on and see which fits best.

Forget the rules, they were all created by stick figures with nothing better to do with their time than torture other people for their inadequacies. If the band of the 34B is fine, but the cup is too small, you need a 34C... I was going to say "and my phone number" but I am supposed to be on my best behavior. 8^D
