Unfortunately stores like Victorias Secret aren’t properly taught how to measure bra size, and don’t supply bras with larger cups on smaller bands, or smaller cups on larger bands. To us ladies out there: PLEASE get properly measured! If I’m understanding correctly… Then yes sometimes when you are wearing a padded bra you need to wear a cup size up. If you normally wear a B you may need to actually wear a C because there is padding taking up some of the Montgomery Alabama River Brawl Avengers Humor Shirt besides I will buy this space in the B cup. The number in a bra size refers to the measurement around the body below the breasts, and is known as the band size. Obviously 36 is larger than 32 so that’s easy. I suspect your question, though, is really about which of these sizes would indicate larger breasts, and that’s more complicated. Breasts are not all created equal even between women who wear the same size. Breasts may be round and full all over, they might be heavy below the nipple line and almost non-existent above it, or their volume may be concentrated well to the outside with fullness under the arms. They can be firm, saggy, or somewhere in between. Many women sport one breast that is larger than the other. So, which size is larger? Cup size, or the letter designation in a bra size, is determined once again by measuring; this time around the fullest part of the bust. The difference between the band size measurement and the fullest bust measurement determines the cup size, but I’m here to tell you that this is an inexact science. If you Google the concept, you’ll find out that a one inch difference in those numbers means you’re an A cup, two inches is a B, etc., but since you just learned that the structure and shape of breasts can be wildly different between women of the “same size,” it shouldn’t surprise you learn that you can’t necessarily put these two women in the same bra and expect it to fit both of them properly. It actually bears little chance of fitting either one of them properly.
