Okay I tried the 85B.org site and it says I'm a 32DD which would be accurate. I'm not sure how accurate it is for everyone, but seems like it is for me.
Now the correct way to measure your bra size from what I've found is to make sure your not breathing all the way in or out, find a happy medium between your lungs fully filled and emptied. Stay at that and hold the measuring tape taunt around your ribs right under your breasts, their is usually a little dip in the ribs there, measure there. You take that measurement, which for be is between 27-28 inches and add 4 for an even number and 5 for an odd number. So for example if I get 27 inches, I add 5 and get 32, if I get 28 inches I add 4 and get 32. 32 is my band size. Okay now you measure the fullest part of your breasts holding the tape not tight and not to loose. I get a measurement right now of 37 inches. Okay now you take your breast measurement and your band size and subtract the band size from the breast measurement. So for me it's 37 - 32 = 5. Okay now for the number you get after the subtraction:
0 or below = AA cup
1 = A cup
2 = B cup
3 = C cup
4 = D cup
5 = DD cup
6 = E (or F cup)
7 = G cup
and so on.
Now this is for US sizes. UK sizes are usually a cup size bigger or smaller, I can't remember which. HTH
