From Wikipedia-
A bra size consists of two measurements: the "band size", given by a number, which is the circumference around the body excluding the breasts, and "cup size", given by a letter, which is related to the volume of the breasts themselves. The size of women's breasts is often expressed in terms of bra size.
Bras are commonly available in cup sizes A-DD, and one generally has to go to a specialist lingerie store to find larger cup size bras. The sizing of larger cup sizes can be confusing, since some manufacturers use multiple letters (such as AAA or FF) instead of proceeding in the logical alphabetical order. A common cup size system amongst European manufacturers, in order of increasing size, is AAA-AA-A-B-C-D-DD-E-F-FF-G-GG-H-J. It is important to note that actual size of bra cups vary with band size, and it is standard practice amongst manufacturers for the same actual size of cup to be used for a range of bra sizes - for example a 32C bra actually has the same size of cups as a 34B (and 30D).
Any system for bust size measurement is not without its problems, and the only real way to determine one's bra size is by trial and error. However, there are several methods which may be used to provide an approximate size by measuring alone. Bra sizing systems differ widely between countries, and also between companies, aside from the complication that most other countries use the metric measurement system, rather than the Imperial system used in the UK and US.
Band size is usually determined by measuring body circumference under the breasts and then adding a specified amount to account for the fact that the ribcage is generally wider at the height of the breasts than at the height one measures at. An alternative method to determine band size involves measuring under the arms and across the top of the breasts. In the United States, various manufacturers and boutiques recommend adding different numbers to the measured circumference to determine band size, generally from 4 to 6 inches. A further complication is that some manufacturers say that when the under the bust measurement is 35 in (89 cm) or more, only 3 in (76 mm) should be added to determine the band size.
The cup size is dependent on the difference between the band size and a measurement of the chest circumference over the fullest part of the breasts. A common, though not universal, method suggested by many manufacturers is that a difference of 1 inch (25 mm) requires an A cup size; 2 inches (50 mm), a B cup and so on.

Women Question about Bras?
Mom22
Anyone know of any really good push up bras that are either strapless or has invisible straps? Preferably one that I can just go to a store and buy. I really don't have time to order one. Thank you!

Hi,
Good Question: Strapless Bras for the Top Heavy
Category: Shopping Fashion Shopping Advice Women's Fashion Underwear Bras Good Question
From the message boards: I love to wear spaghetti strap shirts, etc., but all the strapless bras I have tried so far do not hold up a 38C. Any suggestions for me? I am getting really frustrated!
There are two keys to a good strapless bra for fuller figures: 1) A wide âanchorâ strip that runs horizontally under the bust, and 2) Boning, flexible plastic strips that run vertically along the cups. Both of which help keep the bra in place and are featured in the Goddess Strapless Lace Satin Underwire Bra which supports sizes up to 48FF. And silicon lining, such as in the Wacoal strapless, adds extra support. This bra will not budge until you take it off! A simple bandeau-type bra may be all you need for casual days in summer tanks or tube tops. But under cocktail dresses, a strapless Goddess Lace Longline Underwire Bra doesnât show and keeps everything nice and smooth from the bust down to the waist. Think of it as a bra with extra tummy control sewn on the bottom.
