It can be a hassle finding the correct bra size. You have to make sure the cups fit your breasts correctly, without any gaping, wrinkling, or flesh spilling out the top/sides. You also have to make sure the band fits your torso well, without being too tight or too loose. Before you go bra-shopping, you need to find your bra size. Are you measuring at a 32C? Let’s look at how big a 32C is in my article below.

How Big Is 32C?

If your bra size is 32C, your ribcage measurements are 28-29 inches, and your cup size measurements are 34 to 35 inches. With a C cup your bust is 3 inches bigger than your band measurements. If you are a 32C, your sister sizes are 30D and 34B.

If your bra size is 32C, your bust size measures around 34-35 inches with an underbust size of 28-29 inches

A 32C size is typically going to feature a slender, more petite body.

While a C cup is considered to be an average breast size, it can look larger on a smaller, more petite frame. A 32C is not considered to be a small bust size.

For petite women with average sized breasts, like a 32C, having a great, everyday bra is essential. My #1 recommended t-shirt bra is the Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit T-Shirt Bra. It was voted “Top T-Shirt Bra” by New York Magazine!

What is 32C Size Equivalent to?

A 32C size is equivalent in bust size to 34B or a 30D. If the band on your 32C bra is too loose, you can try the 30D. A 30D bra size will give you the same amount of cup space as a 32C although it has a tighter band.

Sister sizes refer to alternate sizes for your current bra size. To find your sister size, you go up or down a band size and one letter smaller or larger than your current cup, simultaneously.

Similarly, if your band is too tight, you can try a 34B.
