Are the actual bra cup sizes the same for different band sizes?

Q: For example, does a 32A and a 34A really use the same cup? But when I’m comparing two bras of the same brand and style, I hold the 32A up to the 34A, and the 34A cup is obviously bigger than than the 32A cups. I fit into the 32A better, but the 34A cup is bigger and gives more padding and coverage, so it actually makes my breasts look larger under clothes. But I thought the cups were supposed to be the same size no matter what the number was. ie. a 32A, 34A, 36A, and 38A would all use the exact same cup. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

A: Your observation is correct, the cup in a 34A is one cup size larger than that in a 32A, the 34A is actually equal to a 32B.There is a one cup differential between bands and equal cup sizes.Like this (only referring to the cup, not the band)30B = 32A = 34AA32B = 34A = 36AA34B = 36A = 38AA…36DD = 38D = 40C36D = 38C = 40BAs the band gets larger, you need one cup smaller to have the same cup size. As the band gets smaller, you need one cup larger to have the same size cup.The reason is that the cup is actually not based on a standard measurement (like an A cup is 6″ deep) but is instead based on a ratio of proportion of the difference between over bust measurement and full bust measurement.

How big are the cup sizes on Fredericks Of Hollywood corsets?

Q: I am a 38D, so I am buying a “size 38” corset, but I worry the cup size will be too small. How do the cup sizes run in proportion to the band sizes?

A: I have a Fredericks “Renaissance” corset. I am a 42D. The cup is slightly snug, not as much as a sports bra. You should be fine and supported for typical use. My husband thinks is is a good visual appeal. http://www.fredericks.com/services/help.asp?91
