[leanne27]

just found this on a website.............

Breast size depends on overall build and on the sensitivity of the breast bud - present at birth - to the hormones released at puberty. Western women's breasts are growing. Ten years ago, the average breast size was 34B; today, it is 36C, with an estimated 40% of women taking a D cup or above.

and this... this should answer it all..........

The average dress size in the UK is now size 16 and the average cup size of a bra is now a D-cup. The female figure has changed from the ‘hour-glass’ of the 40’s and 50’s to a straighter, stronger shape that needs a new style of dressing.

Thanks for that pookie its surprising how things have changed

[pookie1968uk]

yes things have definitely changed, i think i had read about the average dress size being 16 a while ago but didnt know about the bust size though.

omg a D cup thats big. I wish I was a bit bigger but I wouldnt want to be that big. No fair.

[squillyfer]

The average dress size in the UK is now size 16 and the average cup size of a bra is now a D-cup.
really?! i find that pretty hard to believe, i would have said somewhere between a 12 or 14 for dress and a C for bra size. that is so weird. esp since i'm a 32A, lol.

i thought avergae dress size was a 10/12 and bra was some kind of c cup!!
