I'm a 34 B. Is that big or small?

The average bra size in the United States is presently 36C. Until about 1991, the average bra size in the US was a 34B.
That means the average woman measures at the full chest about 39" around. Rounded to 40, the ideal cliché hourglass would be 40-30-40 much larger than a two generations ago.
The average dress size in the US is a 14 -- which is about what an average woman wearing a 36C would be expected to wear.
If we say that a 36C is average and a 38D is large, then a 34B would be small and a 32A would be tiny while a 40DD would be very large.
The cup on a 34B is the same as the cup on a 32C or a 36A. Using this as the basis, a 34B is two cups smaller than a 36C (average). One could say then that a 34B is small in comparison. This isn't a bad thing however - the "hot" ideal right now is very small (32A) so that means in comparison that your 34B is big. ☺
Reality is, it's what you have -- be happy with it. The range of normal in the US is 28AAA to 46DDD based on what the bra makers are putting in the stores.

If everyone wore the right size bra, the average size would be about 34D or 34DD.
It sounds big, but most people wear the wrong size.
The most common mistake is wearing a back size that's too big, and a cup size that's too small, so even though the average size people wear is a 36C, it should be a 34D or 34DD.

i could say a B to C, although i've got considered many ladies with a small B to an A. it certainly relies upon on genetics and how athletic you're. case in point, many athletic ladies tend to have a smaller bra length. whilst if most of the girls on your loved ones have larger bra sizes, you may desire to inherit that. additionally, all ladies strengthen in any different case. so which you may desire to be previous to others.

I am a 34 B also. It is hard to say if it is big or small. I guess it depends on how old you are, and your body type.
