Bra Size 34B

Bra Size 34B

Cup size is not standard across band sizes as it is a relative measurement. So a 34B is not the same cup size as a 38B but a 38AA. The general rule is the volume of a bra is the same if you go up a band size and down a cup size or down a band size and up a cup size.

When you’re wondering how to measure for bra size, I’m pretty much convinced you need to be an octopus. It is worth the time to have yourself properly fitted. You can go to a department store or a specialty bra store for this. If you choose not to go this route, definitely have another set of hands assist you in the measuring process. However, bear in mind, these measurements are not the end-all, be-all answer to your size! They are a good approximation, however. A knowledgeable sales assistant will be able to look at you in your bra and determine whether or not it’s a good fit.

Ironically, the first time I went to a professional to get properly fitted for a bra, I ended up with one of the most ill-fitting bras I’ve ever had. It was way too tight! By the end of the day, I had horrible chafing and a painful indentation mark where the band was squeezing me like a boa constrictor. So, I ended up exchanging this bra for a larger band size and the problem was solved. So, again, the measurements are for approximation purposes. Different brands of bras simply fit differently, even if they are the exact same cup and band size.
