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  |
That's not vanity sizing, just variance between brands. Vanity sizing is when I was informed that mine were nearly halfway through the alphabet in Korea. They're big enough, but no one's ever asked how I keep from falling over, at least to my knowledge  |

I just get a bunch of Calvin Klein and Betsey Johnson bras every year from home. It's easier, and doesn't come with that ugly padding. I went lingerie shopping with a friend and the things I tried on were like those bullet bras from the 50s. Reminded me of my gran. |

| i do the same. i've given up trying to find a bra here. the korean one's have too much padding and are for girl's with very pointy boobs. the one's in itaewon have the right cup size but the wrong band size. |

In the two years I was there, I was laughed out of many lingerie shops when looking for DD's. A few women actually tried to grope me to see if they were real, which I found quite funny.
I ended up ordering from Victoria's Secret, as they deliver to Korea. I ordered my swimsuits online from them as well, as you can choose your cup size there and are ensured proper support. |

the problem with the bra's in itaewon is that they are too big around, they sell big cupped bras for big sized girls. It's not a matter of them being too small. |

| Bra sizes are much the same as in the West; egg cup, tea cup, coffee cup and Challenge Cup. |

| I found bras in a D cup at Shinsegae. As I was desperate, I paid 89,000 won each for them. They are pretty and do the job, but really not that comfortable. They are a little pointier than I like and the bands are not flexible enough. There is a shop in Itaewon that sells women's larger size clothing and bras and underwear. The bras are nothing fancy, but I found some American brand, very comfortable bras in black and beige that fit perfectly and only cost 28,000 won. That's much cheaper than having to order them from home. The shop is called OKTB. You have to go into the shoe store and upstairs to get there. The lady who works is really nice and friendly and speaks English. |
