So I did the bra intervention...

...and went from wearing a 36a to a 30d.

Bought some new bras, very nice, now have boobs Grin

But some 30 backs I try on are too tight on the loosest hooks, so if I try a 32, what cup size is it? C?

Either a 32C or possibly the problem is that the cups are too small, not the back, so a 30 DD might be good?

Is it Debenhams own brand by any chance? They are tiny in the back compared with lots of other brands.

What is this bra intervention? How can I do it? I used to be a 32C and now a 36a. I want better boobs and this seems better and than a boob job!

Ah - thank you OP!

I am wearing a 36A at the moment and it's an horrendous 'fit'.
Keep meaning to intervene my bra but haven't yet, seeing this has reminded me!

Top of my list is to measure tomorrow.

I'd like to try my 'new' size out with a cheapy from tesco or similar - that will still work, right?

sorry for brief hijack

Op I was 38 A but after I am a 34 D or 32 DD I did find the difference in bra styles

I loved it when got a bust I promptly went and got a few skin tight t-shirts to show my new boobs off :D

You measure under your boobs, mine was 30", then lean right forward and measure round your boobs, mine was 34".

Every inch difference is a cup size, so no difference is 30aa, one inch 30a, two inches 30b....

Be sure to scoop your boobs into the cups though Grin

Sorry, slight hijack - I just did it and got 36 and 42, does that means I'm a 36F?

fledermaus · 29/06/2014 20:48

36E I think - 6" difference, A,B,C,D,DD,E

EvilHerbivore · 29/06/2014 20:49

Ah, missed out DD in my counting! Brilliant thanks!
