This is the way sister sizing works in practice:
The physical size of the cups on the following bras are the same (the bands just differ in length):
A 30D = 32C = 34B = 36A
Therefore, if you size yourself at a 30D and the bra seems to fit well in the cups but the band is too tight, you would then want to try a 32C (when we go up a band size, we want to go down one cup size to get a looser band and the same physical size cup).
However, I think I understand the point of your confusion.
“If I'm now in a 32 band, which is supposed to represent a 32” ribcage, and my bust still measures 34”, the difference is now 2”, so wouldn't that make me a B cup, not a C cup?”
Or another way of putting it might be, “When we sister size, why do we go up or down two inches in the band but the equivalent of only one inch in the cup?”
And you know what? That's actually a very good question. Which I don't know the answer to. So if anyone else out there has an answer/explanation to this question, I'd love to hear it too.
