why?  

My understanding of bra size just flew out the window! Is it not, measure under chest (gives you # of bra size), then measure around fullest part, find the difference and that determines your cup? I'm all over the place with this! 

I think thats right. For my measurements ive just taken inches around the fullest (theres a joke, I am so flat-chested!) part. 

Bicep 14.5 Under Chest 34 (Hubs measured 33) Waist 35 Hip 45 Thigh 22 Calve 15 

Here's what is confusing me. I measured 34 under boobs, Hubs measured 33, so maybe he pulled it more snug than I did???? Which means, I should wear a bra size 34 something. BUT, I wear 38D. He measured fullest around my cup and got 42!!! See why I'm confused? 

I just read abot Bra sizing recently! You measure under breasts and then ADD 4 or 5 inches to get the band size. Then you measure across the fullest part and subtract the band size to get your cup size. You are correct because your band size is probably 38 and then your cup is 42-38 = 4inches difference so probably a C or D cup. 

38D was what Victoria's Secret agreed I wore. Maybe since losing the 25ish pounds I have lost a little around my torso causing the smaller number seen this morning. Come to think of it I had been going to the second set of hooks when I put it on but didn't necessarily fill it loose really. Still filling out the cup okay, some days feel like their spilling out at the end of the day and have to tuck them back in. 

Thanks HCB! That explains it!
