i'm a 32B and in 8th grade also... i think the # is the width of the strap, and the letter is the cup size. i'm not sure what the ranges are though

No, I'm in 8th grade too and I'm the same exact size.
Don't worry, though! It just means you're more developed than other girls in your grade. If it's big or small, I'm not sure, but I read that the average bra size for ANY woman in a 36 B. So yeah. |

OK let ME Explain:
A , B , C are the different cup sizes , there is D but thats jkust huge for the normal age of Cbérs. Sizes , 34 , 36 etc are the size of your back it has nothing to do with your boob size . ^answered your question. |

I don't really know my size...
In Hong Kong, girls didn't wear bras, we wear a kind of tank top with cups. The cups do not demarcate the cup size. So that Hong Kong girls may not know their cup size. |

They determind bra sizes by taking a moveie [iidk the name] rula and measuring around ya body so if its like 32 inches thas around the top part of your body [not in cludin ur arms]

Ok, this is how it works: [I, for once, totally know what I'm talking about, lol]
From Victoria's Secret sizing chart, I love shoping for bras, and underwear! BRA SIZE: HOW TO MEASURE BAND SIZE • Measure around your ribcage, directly under the bust. • Add 5 to this measurement to obtain your band size. (i.e.: If your ribcage measurement is 29" + (5) = 34" band size.) CUP SIZE • Measure completely around the bust at the fullest point. • Each inch of difference between this measurement and your BAND size = cup size. (i.e.: If your band size is 34" and your bust measurement is 35", you wear an "A" cup.) If the difference is: less than 1 inch = AA cup 1 inch = A cup 2 inches = B cup 3 inches = C cup 4 inches = D cup 5 inches = DD cup So your cup size is the difference between you bust size, and your ribcage size. Also your size could be considered, big/small depending on your body type/frame. I'm also in the 8th grade, 14y/o, and I'm a 34C, with my body tpye it looks pretty big. Everything comes into play. |

I'm a 36 C, junior. but sometimes i can find bras that fit bigger...it just depends on the maker
the band size doesn't really matter, you know the 32-38 number. the cup is what makes em big ;) |

For an 8th grader though, that's probably "big". It depends on stuff like how fat/skinny and tall/short you are. The 34 is the circumference of your ribcage (in inches) + 5 inches. So the circumference of your ribcage is 29 inches. The "B" is your cup size. A cup is usually about 150ml... which is like... 5 ounces or whatever of volume. You get the cup by measuring the circumference of your bust, which is the place where your boobs stick out the furthest. In your case, this circumference would be 36. How do I know that? Well, since you are a 'B', that means the circumference of your bust is 2 inches more than the circumference of your ribs + 5 inches (the 34). A cup = 1 inch more B cup = 2 inches more C cup = 3 " D cup = 4 " and so on and so forth... |
