The measurements "36D-24-34" are a mix of two sizing systems: bra size (36D) and body measurements (24 and 34). Let's break it down clearly:
1. Bra Size (e.g., 36D):
Bra sizes consist of two parts:
-
Band size (the number): 36
-
Cup size (the letter): D
A. Band Size (Number: 36)
-
This is the measurement (in inches) around the chest, just under the bust.
-
Common band sizes are even numbers like 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, etc.
B. Cup Size (Letter: A, B, C, D, etc.)
-
This represents the volume of the breasts.
-
It's determined by the difference between the bust measurement (around the fullest part of the chest) and the band size:
-
A = 1 inch difference
-
B = 2 inches
-
C = 3 inches
-
D = 4 inches
-
DD/E = 5 inches
-
DDD/F = 6 inches
-
And so on…
-
So, a 36D means the person has a 36-inch band size and a 4-inch difference between band and bust.
2. Other Measurements (e.g., 24-34)
-
These likely refer to waist (24 inches) and hips (34 inches) — common in hourglass figure descriptions.
-
This format (bust-waist-hips) is often used in modeling or fashion, not bra fitting.
3. Origin of A-B-C-D-E Cup Naming
-
The lettered cup sizing system started in the 1930s in the U.S.
-
It was introduced by companies like S.H. Camp and Company, who were among the first to sell bras with cup sizes.
-
Before this, bras were often sold in a "one size fits most" style.
4. Cup Sizes Beyond D
-
After D, sizes continue with DD (E), DDD (F), G, H, I, J, K, etc.
-
Different countries use different naming conventions:
-
U.S.: D, DD, DDD, G...
-
UK: D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG...
-
Europe (EU): Use numbers and letters like 80D, 85E, etc.
