I've lost a little over 40 pounds, and my 42G bras are definitely too big. I ordered a bra in a 36DDD, but it's a little too small in the cup because my breasts spill over the top.
I think i need to stick with a G cup, but go down to a 36 or 38 in the band. My question is, the cup sizes on a 36G is smaller than the cup size for a 42G, right, even though the letter is the same? (I know I need to get fitted, and I will some time next month).

This is what we like to call a "good problem".0 -
Yes, the cups get smaller as the waist band decreases.
Only found this out recently, baffling!0 -
Yes it is smaller. The letter relates to how many inches over your back size it is.0
-
My experience is that the cup was the same as the larger size. Years ago I went from a 44DDD to a 34DDD and the cups felt the same.0

You men, lol.0

You need to get measured!!! Different styles & brands will fit differently0

I would suggest going to a professional and getting a fit done. You may need a specialty size. I know Macy's has fit specialists.0

Hello... Are you an expert on bra measurements? I got you info from a friend.0 -
Bra sizes if you go down a band you go up a cup and if you go up a band you go down a cup.
Example I am a 36D=34DD=38C0 -
No should be the same. a G is a G is a G. If it's not it should be. I know a 40 DD is the same as a 38 DD anyways.
Keep in mind how much extra "boob" you have under your arms, yeah I know as if having boobs isn't bad enough. Wait! let me recant. I love my boobs, but.... there is a reason why I had a reduction for God sakes. lol.0 -
Cup size seems to stay the same. I've gone from 36DD to 34DD. The 34DD seems a bit big, so I tried my 34D in the exact same brand, but I was spilling out. Maybe I need a 32DD, but I can't find that size in my favorite.0

Wearing a bra, measure underneath your breasts, then measure around your nipples. The difference between the two is your cup size.
Example 36 & 42
difference is 6 (1 is A, 2 is B... 6 is DDD)
Then your bra size is 36 (first number) DDD0 -

What?! Omg, for real??0 -
I would go and get fitted
when I was 200lbs my cup size was a G , now 50lbs lighter and although band size reduced lots my cup size is still the same
I tried measuring and ordering at home , spent a fortune on wrong sizes !0 -
Thanks everyone, very helpful information! I will definitely go get fitted. I only have Macy's and Dillards around me, so I'll probably go to Macy's.0

i'd get them refitted before buying any more.
i lost almost 60 pounds. went from a 46D to a 38/40DD0 -

Nope this is wrong a 40DD is not equal to a 38DD, 40DD=38DDD0 -
