Bra sizes are made up of two components: An even number that represents the band size (32, 34, 36, etc.), and a letter that indicates the cup size (A, B, C, etc.) determined by the size of the breast itself. There are many competing methods for determining the best bra size to select.
In regards to, which cup size is bigger B or C? If your bust size is less than 1 inch bigger than your band size, you’re a cup size AA. 1-inch difference = A. 2-inch difference = B. 3-inch difference = C.
Similarly, is DD bigger than D? There is a difference of between 2cm and 2.54cm (depending on where you shop) between each cup size, so an AA is an inch smaller than A and DD is an inch bigger than D.
