It's so bad that my fiancée has some bras that say she's a B cup and others that says she's a D cup. In order to go bra shopping, you have to actually try them on to find out if they fit.

If I had to try on underwear to see if they fit, I might not bother with underwear at all!

It is well standardized around here.

Probably around 14 or something. For whatever reason, people will often name DD as a large bra size around here. It also doesn't exist in our bra size system. Some girl pointed out that non-sense at school.

My understanding is that some European countries have laws standardizing bra size.

Europe, my beloved...

This might go some ways to explaining why I've never known a woman who liked buying or wearing bras. I'm comfortable blaming the patriarchy, which can absolutely get fucked.

The same time I learned it was like that for all women's clothing. So about 18

I always figured it was like pants where a 34 waist from company A wouldn't fit like one from B.
