What Does 36A Bra Size Mean?
36A bra size simply means that you are a cup 36A. Being a cup 36A means that your underbust measures 32-34 inches while the overbust measures 36-37 inches. In terms of centimeters, the measurements would be 81-86 cm for the underbust and 91-94 cm for the overbust.
Bra Size | Underbust (IN) | Overbust (IN) | Underbust (CM) | Overbust (CM) |
36A | 32-34 in | 36-37 in | 81-86 cm | 91-94 cm |
Is 36A bigger than 36B?
Yes. 36A is bigger than 36B. In bra nomenclature, the higher the alphabet, the larger the bra size. Therefore, a 36B may be expected to be bigger than a 36A.
However, there is also something known as “sister sizing”. This simply refers to bras with the same cup size but different band size. When we look at sister sizing, we realize that 36A is the sister size to 32C, i.e, the two bras have the same cup size.
And since we known 32C is bigger than 32B, therefore, it is correct to say that 36A is bigger than 36B.
Which is bigger 32B or 36A?
A 36A is bigger than a 32B. This might sound surprising but it’s possible due to sister sizes. One of the sister sizes of 36A is 32C, which is bigger than a 32B. Both 36A and 32C have the same cup sizes but different band sizes.
