Prettymama, I've said this countless times on here, so have many of the other forum members who have been in this a long time... don't go by online bra calculators! The best way to measure (note I am in USA, I go by US size bras, if you are in the UK or another country it will be a little different for you). Measure the underneath of your breasts, on the rib cage, make sure you don't breathe all the way in, and don't breathe all the way out, be in between that and comfortable. Take that measurement (for me as an example I'm 27-28 inches underneath, depends on time of the month, water retention, etc.) take that number and add 4 for even numbers and 5 for odd numbers. (either way I'm a 32). That number is your band size. Now measure across the fullest part of your breasts. (For me that's at my nips and I'm 36 1/2 inches). Now take your band size and subtract it from your breast measurement. If you get a 0=AA 1=A 2=B 3=C 4=D 5=DD 6=E 7=F and so on. I get 4 1/2 so I'm in between a 32D and 32DD, I wear a 32D or 34C. Make sense? So when you say you are 37 on the breasts and 32 underneath, are you 32 inches or is that your band size?
