    The 38 means that your rib cage is about 38 inches around. Most bras have three different places where the hooks can go, so you can adjust them for comfort.

    AA, A, B, C, D and so on are the cup depths. An AA cup is the smallest. B is about average.

    Bra sizes and shapes do vary somewhat among manufacturers. It's best to try on any bra you're considering buying. Sometimes they're so "stylish" that they don't fit well at all. One common problem is that the straps are positioned too far apart to support your bosom, and fall off your shoulders too easily.

    the "38" part is the measure around your rib cage. Normally when you get a bra they measure around your bust and then your rib caged a subrtract the difference (or something along those lines). I hope this helps!!!
