Answers:
Numbers are the size of your back in inches. You are to measure exactly below your breasts (your torso), with arms on the sides, not up. This is called your frame size, or underband.
To calculate the band size, add 5" if the frame size is an odd number, or 4" if it is even (bras are available in band sizes separated by two inches, and are all labeled by an even number)
Next measure around the chest including the fullest part of the breasts, while standing straight with arms to the side. This is the bust size or overbust.
The cup size is then the difference between the bust size and the band size, converted into a letter using the following table:
0" to 0.5" AA
0.5" to 1" A
1" to 2" B
2" to 3" C
3" to 4" D
4"... etc.
The actual volume of the bra cup depends not only on the cup size calculated as above, but also increases with the band size. In fact, most bra manufacturers use the same cup volume for bras which are related by an increase in cup size and a decrease in band size. For instance, the cup volume is the same for 30D, 32C, 34B, 36A, etc. It is for this reason that bra sizes have "sister sizes" which are related in this way by having the same cup volume (e.g. 32C and 34B). Although it is important that a wearer has a correctly fitting bra, it is sometimes possible that two adjacent sister sizes fit equally well, since the cups are the same size, and the difference in band size can be accommodated by fastening the back strap on a different hook.
