some brands have the same size charts, but good luck finding anything over a B cup in Korea. You'll have to order online or go to special shops.

Determination of cup size is the same, worldwide. In Korea, you will find bras sized in either centimeters or in inches. If you know your size in inches, you just need to convert the inches to centimeters.

You should buy 85C then, in Korea.

But better you try them on to make sure before you make a purchase.

Good Luck!
I'm bringing every bra I own. I have a hard enough time finding my size here in the states (have to order them through the mail!), nevermind Korea!!

the cup is the same, you can get them to measure you and tell you the number!

it can be difficult to find c cups, but i once went into a new lingerie shop, thay had some really nice stuff, the shop assistant came over in her usual way to help me, so i just smiled and said there really beautiful, but too small,(they were like practically training bra size) she smiled, looked at me and said "oh C cup in the back" so make sure to ask if you really want something!

The cup size is the same, but the band size is different. Even though 85cm is about 34in, you should be a 75C. I think. (I'm a 32 in the US and my bras are 70 here.) You can find C-cups and above in nice department stores, they can also measure you. They don't have a huge variety in styles and they can be expensive.

The problem is they don't have simple bras no matter what the size. I have seen D and E cups with a lot of lace and padding.

You might be right, cuz I think 34 refers to upper bust, but 70C or 75C, the number here refers to under bust.

Also I prefer simple ones, I dont even like too colorful one...

Anyhoo, you girls, I am envious, I didnt know there is a size called AA before I came to Korea, but later I found out that is my size~!

I've found that my 34 in the US is a 75 in Korea. Your C could be either a C or D cup here, depending on the brand and design. I've been both, though I don't allow the D size to boost my ego, because it's the equivalent of vanity sizing Embarassed
