What is a sister size? Sister sizes are bras with the same cup volume. So, in theory your sister size could be swapped for your true size and fit just as perfectly, while the band would fit a bit tighter or a bit looser than usual.
Sister sizes are alternative bra sizes to your current bra size where the cup volume stays the same even though the band size and cup letter change.
“Sister size up” means one size larger than your current band size and one letter smaller than your current cup size. For example, if your bra size is 34C, then your next size up will be 36B. “Sister size down” means one size smaller than your current band size and one letter larger than your current cup.
Sister sizes do work well, but it's worth remembering that there are limits to what you can achieve. Sister sizing one up or one down is fine, and you might even be able to push it to two. But beyond that, the proportions of the bra will have changed so much that the bra probably won't be a good fit.
If the 32A you found at your local shopping mall isn't quite doing it for you, you might want to enlist some help measuring your size. Because although many brands don't stock lower than an A (eye roll), it actually isn't the smallest bra size.

Find your current bra size, and your sister sizes are the ones listed in the same row (going across). So, for example, if you're a 34C, your sister sizes are 30E, 32D, 36B, and 38A. Each row is a family of sister sizes. Let that sink in for a moment: an A cup can also be an E cup.

The Smallest Size Of Bra: Uncovered
The smallest size of bra that is widely available is a 28AA. This bra has a 28 inch band, along with a bust that is less than one inch bigger than the ribcage. You'll find this size manufactured by many different brands, including Royce.
Sister Sizing
All of the sister cups in the same row are the same size. Sister sizing is like a seesaw. If you move up in the band, move down in the cup and vice versa. For example if you find that a size 12E fits well in the cup, but is too big around the band, go down to the next sister size in the row and try a 10F.
So if a bra is a size 32B, its sister size “up” would be 34A, and its sister size “down” would be 30C. Despite having different numbers, these bras all hold the same amount of tissue in their cups, with different band lengths.
As a general rule of thumb, it's important to have a healthy rotation of bras at the ready so that you're never left blindsided — and bare chested. All things considered, we'd suggest owning 11 bras in total in a couple of distinctive styles that range from everyday to on-occasion.
It's also important to rotate your bras, so the cups and straps can relax. This allows them to retain their shape and elasticity. “You can wear the same bra two days in a row, as long as you take it off for several hours in between to allow the bra to relax,” Dr. Vij says.
What is a sleep bra? Most sleep bras look similar to sports bras or non-wired crop tops, and come in padded and non-padded options depending on preference. You can also get sleep bras designed for breast-feeding and new mothers, with handy fastenings for easy access and extra padding for comfort.
Regarding sister sizes, yes size 34B and size 32C is bra size equivalents. 34B and 32C are the same exact cup sizes, the only thing that changes is the length of the band.
Bra sizes that share a row are called sister sizes, meaning they share the same cup volume (though they have different cup letters). For example, the row with bra sizes 36C, 38B, and 40A all have the same cup volume, but have different band sizes.
DDD is most commonly used in the US, and converts to an E or F cup in UK sizes – one size up from DD. Many larger cup bra brands use UK sizing, so it's worth being familiar with how sizes convert.
Band size is the measurement around your rib cage, just under your breasts. To find your band size without a measuring tape, you can wrap a piece of string or ribbon around your body and mark the point where it meets in front. Once you have your measurement, you'll need to convert it into inches.
Since 32c is a medium bra size; there won't be much problem with saggy busts due to heaviness.
A 34C and a 32D are actually the same size cup size. Do men know this? Do all women know this? A 34C and a 32D are known as "sister sizes" which means that the cup will fit the same amount of breast tissue and the same applies for their other "sister sizes" of a 36B, 38A, 32D, 30DD, 28E.
On the basis of published data and results from this study, it is recommended that patients with a cup size>or=D or a bra size>or=18 could be categorized as having large breasts, with all other patients considered average in size.
Proper cup fit is influenced by band size. As the band size changes, so does the cup size. For every band size you go down, you should go up one cup. If you are in a 34D with a good cup fit, but want to go down to a 32 band, you would go to a 32DD for a tighter band with the same cup fit.
Your bra size has a sister size.
Your bra sister size can hold a similar volume of breast tissue in the cups. And, sister sizing is why two different bra sizes may fit. We mentioned above that the cup size increases when the band size increases – though the cup size remains the same letter cup size.
