Linda, I think an important part of the equation is - after measuring the underbust you do this calculation:

If this underbust measurement number is under 33", add 5"; if it is 33" or over, add 3". If the result is an even number, that's your bra size; if it is an odd number, add 1".

For example, if your underbust measurement is 31", add 5"; your bra size is 36". If your underbust measurement is 34", add 3" to get 37"; this is odd, so round to 38".

Cup Size: Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape level without pulling it too tight. The difference between this number and your bra size tells you your cup size:

difference of 0 = AA difference of 1 = A difference of 2 = B difference of 3 = C difference of 4 = D difference of 5 = DD difference of 6 = DDD
