[soonenough]

May I ask why some gals want to increase their band size number? Like MoK217 wants to go from 32A to 34C and Soonenough wants to move from 32C to 34B (which is about the same, no?). I thought that band size calculates using your underbust measurement plus 4 for even number & 5 for odd. Doesn't it seems that you need to gain about 2 inches around your rib cage under your breasts to go up one band size? For example gain weight or muscle volume... Why would you want to do that?

Am I missing something here? I must admit I'm not a pro in bra sizes.

That's what they say, 32C is the same as 34B, but I don't find that to be true for all brand. I bought a DK 32C which fits like a glove, but when I tried the same model 34B, it was big. I went down to 34A and voila it's perfect except the band is too loose. The only brand that consistently both fits me for 32C/34B is Wacoal.

I'm not trying to increase my ribcage. I, too, thought 32C is same as 34B but I find that in order for me to fit an unpadded lacy 34B is if I'm to go up 2 sizes like what Anastasia said. I tried a Wacoal 32C lace bra and the right side fills the cup, but it's not overflowing. I tried the same 34B lace bra and the lace wrinkled. Anyway, right now, I'm happy if I reach 36", and whatever bra size that fits. I lowered my expectations, and super happy that I even increased in size.
