First Sept post...

Thanks for the links Scrapper . The second link
is great in showing why it's half black art in
buying a bra. (Now you know why it takes the
ladies so long to shop. :D just kidding.)

The Cup chart is interesting, it's in metric
and English measurement - centimeters(Europe)
and inches(US,UK). [The AUS numbers might be in
inches too? 6 inches? hmmm.]

And for those too lazy to visit "How To..." sites, here's
one quick reduced way to determine those numbers.

To Find Bra size:

Step 1: Measure around ribcage under the breasts.
Step 2: Add 5 inches to the ribcage number; if
             odd, round up.

To Find Bust size:

Step 1:Measure around breast nipples. That's your
           Bust size.

To Find Cup size letter: (more math)

Step 1: Subtract Bra size from Bust size.
         (Bust size is always, (mostly), the
         larger number.)

Step 2: Find a chart that relates inches to Cup
         size letter, like:

Cup subtract result Letter
(inches)
0 - 1/2 AA
1/2 - 1 A
1 - 2 1/2 B
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 C
3 1/2 - 4 1/2 D
etc, etc, etc.

See...you can learn things on yahoo...strange
things - but learned.

[Another way, (kinky as well), to find Cup size is water
volume displacement method; make sure water warm.]
