[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ D, Dd, E, Une question

There are lots of busty ladies on here so I was just wondering...is DD a size between D and E or is it larger than E? Being female you'd think I'd know, but my bosoms are small so I've never ventured up that side of the scale before. :wink:

Just a thought about the 'A' sizes, I think it may have something to do with the fact that you can get AAA as the lowest size and since A cups are at the lower end of the range it's probably just easier to have a single letter as the main principal size. It's a bit like batteries, you get AAA, then AA which is bigger. :P Doesn't explain D and DD though.

Just read this:

"Some manufacturers use size DD but then continue with E, F, G, H, I, J, etc. Others use DDD to represent an E and some go on to use E, EE, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, etc. This can make purchasing a large-cup bra difficult."

I suspect it's just so manufacturers can produce a wider range of fittings and thus satisfy their customers. So they could have a line where DD is larger than a D but smaller than an E, rather than DD being the equivalent of an E.

My wife's sister went for a fitting a few weeks ago, and the sizes have changed somewhat over the years. She has gone from a C to a DD (without her boobs growing) - the salesperson said it was so those younger (9,10 year olds) girls could wear bras. So really; cup size means squat - go by hand size...

Handful :)

A bit more than a handful :P

A lot more than a handful :niceones:

Heehee. Ohh this leads on to a whole different thing altogether...anyone up for a debate about how young'uns are growing up too quickly?! I walk into a supermarket and I see 8 year olds wearing black, high-heeled, leather knee high boots and mini skirts with thongs showing at the top, along with dyed hair. I was wearing t-shirts and leggings at that age with cartoon characters on them. :blink:
