Small DD in bra size means that the band size is small and the cup size is DD. The band size refers to the measurement around your ribcage just under your bust, while the cup size refers to the difference between your bust measurement and your band measurement. In this case, a “small” band would typically be 28 or 30 inches, and a DD cup means there is a 5 inch difference between the bust and band measurements.
Many people believe that DD cups are always large, but in reality, it depends on the band size. For example, a 32DD will have smaller cups than a 38DD because they are proportionate to their respective band sizes. It’s important to consider both the band and cup sizes together when determining how a particular bra will fit.
A less-known fact about bra sizing is that different brands may have slightly different measurements for each size. This can mean that you might wear one size in one brand and another in a different brand. Knowing this can help you find bras that fit perfectly by trying on different brands to find which suits you best.
