What is ABCD in bra sizes? <strong>The<\/strong> letters &#8211; like A, B, C, D &#8211; stand for <strong>cup<\/strong> sizes. The numbers &#8211; like 32, 34, 36, 38 they tell you the band size \u2013 that&#8217;s <strong>the<\/strong> part of the <strong>bra<\/strong> that goes around your torso. For instance, a 34A means that your boobs are an A <strong>cup<\/strong> and that your bra is 34 inches around.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, which cup size is bigger A or D? There is a difference of <strong>between<\/strong> 2cm and 2.54cm (depending on where you shop) between each cup <strong>size<\/strong>, so an AA is an inch smaller than A and DD is an inch bigger than D.<\/p>\n<p>Also, what is <strong>bra<\/strong> <strong>cup<\/strong> A and B? This number corresponds with your cup <strong>size<\/strong>. If your bust measurement and band measurement are the same number, you&#8217;re an AA cup. If there&#8217;s a 1-inch <strong>difference<\/strong> between bust and band you&#8217;re an A <strong>cup<\/strong>; 2-inch <strong>difference<\/strong> is a B cup, 3 inches is a C cup, 4 inches is a D cup, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, how do you know your cup size ABCD? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If your bust size is less than 1 inch bigger than your band size, you&#8217;re a <strong>cup<\/strong> <strong>size<\/strong> AA.<\/li>\n<li>1-inch difference = A.<\/li>\n<li>2-inch <strong>difference<\/strong> = B.<\/li>\n<li>3-inch <strong>difference<\/strong> = C.<\/li>\n<li>4-inch difference = D.<\/li>\n<li>5-inch difference = DD.<\/li>\n<li>6-inch difference = DDD or F.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For example, a 38C means a chest measurement of 38 inches and a breast measurement of 41 inches.

A &#8216;B&#8217; cup is likely to be seen as small since it&#8217;s only an inch larger than an A cup. For teenagers, a B cup is an average size, and when it comes to adults, it is a smaller size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_34a_and_34B\"><\/span>What is the difference between 34a and 34B?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Now, here&#8217;s where things can get a little tricky. For reference, any cup with a 34 band size is considered a \u201ctrue cup\u201d size. This means that a 34AA is in fact a AA cup, just as how a 34B is a true B cup. However, a 34B is also equivalent in cup volume to a 30D, 32C, and a 36A.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_40C_bra_size_mean\"><\/span>What does a 40C bra size mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The 40C cup size breast tissue is spread over a wider chest area and therefore will look like a small bust. Whereas the 30C cup size will look much bigger as the breast tissue is over a much narrower chest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_biggest_bra_size\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the biggest bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Annie Hawkins-Turner has the largest natural breasts in the world.

Subtract the band size from this measurement. Use this number to determine your cup size according to the table below. Example: if your ribcage measurement is 31, and your bust measurement is 37, your bra size is a 34C: 31+3=34, so 34 is your band size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_my_true_bra_size\"><\/span>How do I know my true bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Measure your band.
