buy my lla
Right now I have ones that are 34D. I know that is supposed to be "equivalent" to a 28F.
However my chest is very narrow, and the band length of 34 is far too loose. Even on the tightest setting the back of the bra sits much higher than the band part that runs under my breasts. The back of the bra where the hooks are being so high up on my back also means the cups fit weirdly over my boobs.
I think a shorter band size would help this. But i cannot find a 28f anywhere in the USA and I can't buy one from the UK or whatever when they want pounds (my parents wouldn't let get those) plus they are expensive. I can't affort 60+ dollars for each bra, or 30 pounds or whatever if its from the UK.
What should I do? What does "equivalent" in bra sizing mean?! A 34 D does NOT seem the same at all. In previous experience two different cup+band sizes fit VERY differently even if they were supposedly equivalent.
Answer
What it means is that they both have the same cup volume. Bras have sister sizes (bands get longer or shorter and the cup wires differ but hold the same breast volume.)
34D = 32DD = 30DDD/E = 28F <- you can wear any of these sizes but if you were properly measured to be a 28F the 28F will fit the best and give you the most band support and cup coverage.
Once you go over DD different bra companies use different letter systems based on their country of origin so the best thing to do is count 2 cups over DD (usually in the F/G ballpark) Few US manufacturers make 28 bands, and they usually count F as G. But don't worry, there are many places online and in person where you can buy bras that use UK sizing without having to convert to pounds or anything like that.
Bras you could order online:

If there is a Nordstrom or Macy's close to you, go there to try on bras in person. (They don't sell 28 bands but they do have 30DDD/E.)

I'm confused, what is my bra size?

I googled how to measure your bra size and even searched it on Y!A but I keep getting different answers. Some of the answers would mean I'm a D (which I'm sure I'm not) and some would mean I'm a AA. The measurement under my boobs was 27 and the measurement on the fullest part was 31 1/2. So can someone just tell me my bra size and you don't have to but it would be helpful to tell me how you got it.
Answer
You're a 32A (depending on the brand and cut of bra).
The band size is what you measure under your breasts. If you get an odd number, add five inches, if you get an even number add four. That is your band size. Next, measure the fullest part, usually at nipple level, of your breast. Subtract that number in inches from your band. If you have 35 inches as your bust and 31 inches as your band, you'd have four inches. For each inch of difference go up a cup size. In this instance, four inches difference would mean a D cup.
You measured 27 at your ribcage. Add five inches for it being odd. Your band becomes 32.
You measured 31.5 at your bust. 32-31.5 makes it a .5 inch difference. Your cup is an A.
Not all body types are the same, and this is just a very close estimate. Different brands of bras, different cups, will fit you differently than others. Start out with this bra size and adjust the straps/band if you feel it does not fit right, then adjust accordingly.
