I was told my D cups were a Korean H or J, so be prepared to hear something mid alphabet, on the off chance you can find them. Anything over a Korean B cup will look like its designed to support a bridge, cost a small fortune or both, anyway.

www.victoriassecret.com

www.figleaves.com/

Both sites have cute bras, no size conversions required, and they deliver to Korea.

I'm a DD cup. I went with a Korean friend to some bra shops in Seoul. She decided she was on a mission to help me find a DD cup bra.

When we went in to the stores, and asked for my cup size, they all just laughed us out of the store. Except for one woman. She was trying to convince me I would fit in a C cup. I kept telling her no, I wouldn't. She persisted, so I tried it on just to satisfy her. The ajumma opened up the curtain, looked at the bra on me and gasped while exclaiming "oh no no not ok". Guess she should have just taken my word for it. Embarassed Laughing

I'm guessing it's similar to Japan. Hope it helps!

Frederick's Bra Conversion Chart:

This site has Korean shoe & clothing size conversions but Korea wasn't included in the Bra section (though Japan is):

$1.9M Golden Bra (I found while searching):
http://ahsoon.net/2006/09/23/19-million-usd-golden-bra
It's damn ugly and looks more like a medieval torture device than a bra.


OK I give up, I couldn't find any sites that lists Korean sizes. Here's another random link I got by doing a Korea + Bra search: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/328067/korean_bra_adv

Whatever, you 'll have to make do with this one (the medieval torture device which still doesn't look like it would accommodate a C cup)

I'm 40F so don't think I'll be buying any bras in Korea.

My mum asked me my bra size on the phone tonight so I think I may be getting a bra for my birthday, hope it gets through customs, the guys might have a heart attack!

Also keep in mind that Korea is great for slimming down somewhat....I came here at a 44/46 F, after 9 months all the bras (7 at $28 each are too big). We're talking straps falling off, cups gaping and just all around not good. I'm still bigger than Korean bras allow for but not as big as I was. I think I'm somewhere around a 42DD probably.

I was wondering how long it was going to take the men on this board to come on here with obnoxious comments...took longer than I thought.

EWWWWW!!!!!!!!

And there is proof that big breasts on a guy is not the same as big breasts on a women. The desire usually doesn't not work in reverse.
