Actually its only twos sizes away for you. I like going with DD=E. Why the double D if its practically the next size up??? Is DD considered half a cup more? Is it like the A cup and its triple counterparts? Don't understand that either. I only see a difference between an A flat and A full. There should be 2 as far as I'm concerned!
I know some countries translate DD as E and others as DDD. So Whatever. DD I'd be fine with. That is my E.
Now, are you shopping at places like VS? They have been struck with vanity sizing unfortunately. You may be a very full B cup/small C. I hate this! The vanity goes up a cup size than what you really areGet yourself a vintage C bra from the 50's, that'll tell you what size you are. I have a lot of vintage bras so I know what size I am.
Also, areola polar placement makes you look smaller if your poles are placed low (like mine). your underboob meat looks like a cup smaller than what it really is.
Also, raise your one arm up, if it looks like a full B cup, you are a full C cup. Gaps in breasts are common up into the DD sizes so don't let that make you think you are smaller than what you are.
Tibetan thank you again! you have been such a big help for me so far. This forum is lucky to have you here

The cup sizes DD = E actually makes sense. I heard that before somewhere...
We don't have VS anywhere near our state lol And I always end up ordering the wrong size if I shop online so I never do that either. So I'm stuck shopping at walmart sears or Fred Meyer. I have wanted to try a 32 band bra but I cant seem to find anything bigger then a 32C. I tried it on and it was too small in the cup. But I know how 32C is supposed to equal 34B so if im trully a 34C then I guess its to be expected? But then I measured my underbust and Im at 29 inches so maybe 34 band is wrong for me?
Now I really want to try on a vintage bra and find out my exact size. But then again its something I will have to order and I hate wasting money on it if I get the wrong size again. I guess I will just have to take that risk. besides it would be nice to get a good supporting bra that can keep my breasts supported throughout the day without me having to constantly scoop them back in the cups lol
PS. I did try raising my hand to look at my breasts before and they do look like a Bcup. And my areolas sit lower on my breasts too so that might explain the smaller look as well... If thats the case then big E or small Fcup boobies might be good enough for me although it sounds huge


Again you have been sooo helpful! thank you so much!!
