For Your Reference

So, y'know Chirstina Hendricks (she's on Mad Men).  I find her... um... endowment frightening.



It seems as if each... um... gazonga is bigger than her head!  So... curious, I googled her bra size.  Unofficially (who certifies bra sizes?  I want that job.)  Turns out, blah blah, likes carrying an extra 15 pounds, blah blah, doesn't buy into the heroin-chic culture of Hollywood, blah blah...  Her bra size is 38-DDD!  Not a typo.  Now, outside of niche... um... entertainers, I'd never heard of such a thing.  I was not aware that nature produced such excess.  Long story short (too late), this is how one computes a bra size.


So you measure at the indicated places (that's the fun part), take the under bust measure (the smaller of the two numbers, god willing) and refer to the chart below


XXS XS S M L XL XXL 3XL 4XL 5XL
Under bust measure (cm) 58-62 63-67 68-72 73-77 78-82 83-87 88-92 93-97 98-102 103-107
Band Size   28   30   32   34   36   38   40   42    44     46

Then find the difference between the bust measure and the under bust measure and dig the chart below

Bust/band difference and cup size
inches cm US
cup size

< 1 0 to 2 AA
1 2 to 4 A
2 4 to 6 B
3 6 to 8 C
4 8 to 10 D
5 10 to 12 DD
6 12 to 14 F or
DDD

7 14 to 16 G or
DDDD

8 16 to 18 H
9 18 to 20 I
10 20 to 22 J
11 22 to 24 K
12 24 to 26 L
13 26 to 28 M
14 28 to 30 N

Therefore, our model above is a 32-DDDD, indicating that she would be unable to walk.  Great pictogram, Wikipedia.  Ah well, now we know.  And knowing is half the battle.  Cheers.
