Answers:
measure yourself and go to

but here's how it basically works:
the number is how big your chest (not your boobs) is... so someone who was really skinny might be a 30B, and someone with the same size boobs but bigger ribs might be a 34B.
the letter is how big your actual breasts are. so two people with different size breasts but the same size everywhere else could be 34A and 34C.
If you've gained weight, then go to 40C or 42C.
If your boobs have grown, then go to 38D - NOT 32D.
be sure to measure yourself too, though. with all your confusion, you were probably in the wrong size bra before you grew ;)Health Question & Answer

Here is the way to measure for a bra size. Take a tape measure and go under the arms and around the back to the chest, comfortable, and write down that number, lets say 34". Then take the tape measure and go around the back at the fullest part of the breast, lets say 37" and write that down. Now you subtract the first number from the second, or three inches. For each inch difference, you add one cup size, so this person would wear a 34C; thirty-four for the size and up three sizes (a,b,c) for the three inches or a C.

so measure yourself.
the around measure is around the back, and on top of the chest (above the breasts) not under the bust like you might think.
If you are a 38 now, and that is still the same, then you need to go up a cup size, to a 38D maybe. If you are bigger around, then maybe you just need to go up in the size around, and maybe you can keep the cup size (because it will go up with it) or even a cup size smaller. Look at a website like victoriassecret.com for a sizing chart. also, see what fits. You should fit in it nicely, not bulging out any sides, try it with a tshirt to see how it looks.Health Question & Answer

The number, 38 or 42, is the length around your chest. So if you gained weight there, then yes, the number would go up. (So you would need a 42C, the letter will stay the same).
The letter, C or D, is the cup size. So if your boobs just got bigger but you are the same weight pretty much, then you need to go up in cup size. (So you would need a 38D, the number will stay the same).Health Question & Answer

Listen.
The number measures around you chest, right under your boob.
The A, B, a cup, whatever, measures how prominent your boobs are.
So, in effect, the number is how fat you are.
If you used to be 38C, you'll be 38+C+ . . . .you won't shrink.Health Question & Answer

the number like 38 or 42 measures the width around your waist. The letter C or D is the cup size. So naturally you would go up to a D if you have grown a cup size, but you would go up to a 42C if you have gone up in width around your waist (or gained weight).Health Question & Answer
If you don't want to have a stranger measure you, measure yourself maybe =)
And I would suggest trying on the two diff sizes and then decide. Because a lot of it depends on whether you want a bigger band or a bigger cup.
Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

No kidding, just go and try it. You are never going to be the same size for every single bra. Different makers make different sizing scales. I am a 38C and it varies from bra I choose. Never buy a bra without even trying it on.Health Question & Answer
Go to a 34 D. I was a 38 C and gained weight so I went to a 34 D which is the same band size as a 38 C but the cup is just a bit bigger.Health Question & Answer
