32C
You add four to under bust since the measurement is an even number, then 31 minus 28 is 3, a 3" difference is a C cup.
So start out trying 32C's.
Now take note that you may not be that size in every bra, since there is no standard for measurements with bra sizes. So try a 32C and go from there.
OH, and don't try online bra calculator sites. I tried a few different ones and I got anywhere from a 32A to a 40D (I'm a 38C). You could always go to JCPenney or Sears or Nordstroms and get sized (not victoria secret as they do not size properly).

Bra Measurement 1: Your bra band (or back) size: Take the measurement (in inches) from just under your bust, right around your ribcage. Ensure the tape measure is not loose, but not so tight that you can’t breathe! It should be resting smooth and straight across your back and where the crease of your bust meets your ribcage. You might need someone to help. Add 5 to this measurement and voila! There’s your band or back size! E.g. Your measurement: 27” + 5 = 32” band size. If your band size turns out to be an odd number (i.e. 33”), you will normally find the nearest band size up will fit best (i.e. 34”) but you may also want to try the lower band size (32”), especially if your tape measure was quite loose for the measurement. Bra Measurement 2: Your bra cup size: Measure around your bust at the fullest part (normally over your nipples). Again, ensure the tape measure is not too tight or too loose and nice and straight across your back. The difference between this measurement and your calculated band size is used to determine your bra cup size as follows: Less than 1inch – AA Cup 1 inch – A Cup 2 inches – B Cup 3 inches – C Cup 4 inches – D Cup 5 inches – DD Cup 6 inches – E Cup 7 inches – F Cup 8 inches – G Cup E.g. – your bra band size was calculated as 34” and your bust measurement came out at 38”, so the difference between these measurements is 4” – this makes your bra cup size a D…easy! If this measurement surprises you it might help you to know that over 40% of UK females are now wearing a D Cup or above. Research shows the average size worn is a 36C, yet over 60% of C cup wearers should be wearing at least a D cup and over half of us wear a band that is too big. Experts believe the true average bra size should be 34DD. So you're a 32AA. All my best :) E-mail me if you want to know anything else :)

Well, you must be tiny, but, I don't know from 28-31 you have 3 inches which would make you a C-cup. but, I doubt you are a 28C. unless you measured wrong, or you just tiny with big boobs. the number under is the band size and every in difference from under the bust to the number over is it's the cup size, so like if you had a 32 in the bottom and 34 on top, you'd be 34B.

28B
The number is the measurement under the bust. The cup size is found by measuring round the fullest part of the bust and comparing the difference between the numbers.
1 inch higher - AA cup
2 inches higher - A cup
3 inches higher - B cup
and so on. Which makes you a 28B.

Add 4" to the 28 and you get 32. Since the bust measurement is 31, I think it would be an AA (or nearly A) cup
I think you should go to a department store and go to the intimate apparel department. They will have a professional available to fit you properly,

28B- but buying bras is hit and miss- you should try different bras because they differ in style from shop to shop like our other clothes do- you know how you can be size 10 in one shop but 12 in another- bras are exactly the same. Some bigger stores do bra fittings for you. You should buy new bras evry six months because your shape changes and the bras you have change with washing and wearing. You should get professionally measured every six months- it doesn't cost you anything.

I think the answers given show the ignorance of women about correct bra sizing. go to a professional supplier and get measured properly.
No wonder most women wear the wrong size bra.....

28B.
The number is the inches around your chest, i,e. just under your boobs. The next measurement is taken over the boobs. The difference between the two is your cup size.
To illustrate... someone who was 40A would have a large chest but small boobs. Someone who was 34 D would have a small chest, but large boobs.
The theory is that the cup size goes up by 2 inches. But bra manufacturers differ, so get measured.
Hope this helps.......

Go to Google. Type in Correct Bra Size, they will tell you exactly how to figure your bra size.
This woman from Oprah was telling how to do it.
