Apparently, some huge percentage of women wear the wrong bra size. Do you? Measure and find out:
Measure your ribcage below your breasts, in inches. Add 5 inches. If you get an odd number, add another inch. This is your band size.
Now measure your bust around the fullest part. Subtract your band size. If the difference is 1 inch, you are an A. 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, etc. etc.
Are you wearing the right bra size? (Extra credit if you post it.)
BR(Not wearing the right bra size - I'm wearing a 34 and should be wearing a 36, but I got the cup size right)C
Note on measuring your tits in the office - close the door. No, actually, I just wanted to say you don't need a tape measure - use a scarf or something to measure around, and then you can use the straight ruler you found in your desk on the first day and haven't used since to measure the length of the fabric.

Are you sure on the add five bit? Because I'm wearing a bra that is the band size of the number of inches when I measure around the ribcage (34 1/2), and it seems likely that I would be unable to breathe if that were nearly half a foot too short. Also, measuring around my boobs produces a 38 1/2, which, if the band size is supposed to be 40, would make me a, uh, -A cup size. They seem to stick out, so that can't be right.
Anyway, I'm either a 39(A) or a 34 or 36 C or D. I get some fluctuation and mostly have 36 Cs, I think.
Edited to correct 39 to 40 since band sizes have to be even numbers.
