When you measure for a bra, you take your band measurement and Add four to it if it's an even number and five if it's an odd number. So, for me 31 band = 36 according to the rules. 34 stays in place for me better though.

If they gave you a 34, then you should have measured a 30, BUT if you measured a 29 that would also make you a 34, and explain why you felt like the 32 stayed in place better. LOL

After you figure out your band width, you take the bust measurement. for every inch over the bra size bandwidth, it represents a cup size. for me 36 band with 39 1/2 = 3 1/2 inch difference so C cup

I still don't look in the mirror and think, C's they sure aren't what I thought they would look like, but then I put on the bra and it fits like a glove. LOL

Maybe for those of us that have been small for year, we can't really see them as they are. Kind of like someone that has an eating disorder can't see how thin they are.

One things for sure. When I take a picture, I see something completely different than what I see in the mirror! It's soooo weird.

P.S Here is a bra calculator that I like since it takes all of your measurments below, middle and top and then gives you the size in many countries! It's kind of fun to put in different sizes of what you hope to grow to or are almost at and see what it says.
