It can be a 40D, 38DD, or 38E depending on where you need the size increase.

The number represents the measurement around your rib cage. The letter is the measurement around your ribs and breast in relation to the number size, and the number of letters has to do with breasts width.

What is the next size up from a bra size 28a?

The next size up, based on band size, is 30A. The next bra size up, based on cup size, is a 28B or, in some sizes, 28AA.


What would the next bra size be after 30A?

In band size the next size up is 32A. However, the next size is 30B in cup sizes.


Is the last notch on a bra the same as the first on the next size up?

Yes it is the same size.


Which bra size is bigger 38d or 36dd?

They are sister sizes, meaning interchangeable. It depends on how you want the bra to fit. Say your band measures at 36.5 inches and your bust measures at 41.5 Inches there is a 5 inch difference between the two so an inch for every cup size (a,b,c,d,dd). If you try in the 36dd and it is a little tight around the band you could go up to a 38d to make it more comfortabl.


Is a size 28E a big bra size?

Your bra size is made up of a number, the back size, and a letter, the cup size. The size 28E means the woman has a small back size, and a large cup in relation to her frame. However her breasts will not be large next to a woman with say 34D bra size. Contrary to popular belief this is no where near impossible to find, many specialist bra and lingerie companies stock this size.


If you can wear 40c bra to size 38 bra does that mean you can also wear a 38dd bra too?

A 40C would have the same cup size as a 38D or 36DD. The number is the "band size" or "back size," and refers to the size of your frame excluding your breasts. The correct band size will usually be your underbust/ribcage measurement rounded to the nearest even number, for example if your underbust measures 33 inches you will most likely need a 34. The cup size is represented by a letter, and this is relative to the band size so if you currently fill a 40C but you need a 38 band, then a 38C will be too small. You will need to try a 38D - go up one cup size for every band size that you go down. Although different bra sizes have equivalent sized cups, it is not recommended to wear a different size to the proper one. This is because the band needs to be a firm fit around the ribcage in order to support the cups properly and not ride up in the back. Also, the band size determines other dimensions of the bra such as the shoulder strap spacing and the width of the cups. On a smaller band size, the cups and the shoulder straps will be spaced closer together as they are designed to fit a narrower chest.


Wat is the best bra to buy a woman who is pregnant?

Pregnant women like comfort and they will also need a nursing bra if they plan to breastfeed. Try something soft, maybe with padded cups for extra comfort. And you should probably get the next size up from her normal bra size.
