Too tired to think of something witty to say...
Just out of curiosity, what exactly is a "large C" or a "small D" ?
No offense, but maybe because I'm into the correct bra sizing thing, but terms like this annoy me.
My breasts aren't big by any sort of the imagination. But my *correct* bra size is 28E (UK because the US doesn't make 28 bands). People hear the cup size and totally ignore the band size. Cup size is fluid. A 28E cup size is going to be a lot smaller than a 40E cup size. My sister size would be 30DD (US & UK). And when I tell people that they're all like, "NO WAY, YOU CANT POSSIBLY BE A DD". People have the standard as:
A tiny
B small
C medium
D big
DD huge
And that's not the case. While, yes A & B are 'small' in smaller bands, a 40B is pretty big if you look at the cups.
An A cup means that there's a one inch difference between the under bust, and the largest part of the bust
A B cup means that there's a two inch difference between the under bust, and the largest part of the bust
A C cup means that there's a three inch difference between the under bust, and the largest part of the bust
A D cup means that there's a four inch difference between the under bust, and the largest part of the bust
A DD cup means that there's a five inch difference between the under bust, and the largest part of the bust
An E cup means that there's a six inch difference between the under bust and the largest part of the bust. Etc
So my under bust is 28 inches, my over bust is 34 inches. That makes me a 28e. If you go to get fitted and they ADD inches to your under bust, your going to get an incorrect measurement. And if you have big breasts, you won't get the support you need. (The support comes from the band btw, NOT the straps)
Think Kim Kardashian...
I don't think KK is either. I think if anything she'd be considered a big D (if were talking matrix sizing). Realistically speaking, I'd put her at a 32 or 34 G
Her breasts aren't particularly small. I can't get the picture to load, but this is the picture I was looking at. http://www.pagalparrot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/kim-kardashian.jpg
