Double D is a common bra size measurement that refers to the cup size of a bra. In terms of actual measurements, it means that there is a 5-inch difference between the band size and the bust measurement. This indicates that someone with a double D bra size has a larger bust compared to their band size, requiring more support and coverage in their bras.

There can be some misconceptions about what exactly double D means in relation to overall breast size. Some people assume that anyone wearing a double D must have extremely large breasts, but this is not necessarily true. Bra sizing is complex and takes into account both band and cup measurements, so someone who wears a double D may actually have a relatively average or medium-sized bust, depending on their band measurement.

A less-known fact about bra sizing is that it can vary greatly from one brand to another. Different brands may fit differently based on their specific designs and materials used. It’s important for individuals to understand this variation so they can find the perfect fit for them regardless of the label’s standard sizing.
