Volumetrically, a 36C and 34D are the same size.

I started a thread here with really really useful information about proper bra fitting: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056976210

I thought I was a 34DD, turns out I'm a 32 and closer to a G cup. Most women are wearing band sizes WAY too big. At it's loosest fitting, you should only be able to pull the band of a new bra an inch or two away from your body.

My guess is you think you fit into all of them, but if you read the links in my post, you'll realise they're not fitting correctly at all.

Also, the method of fitting in most department stores is quite outdated and often plain wrong, so try taking your measurements yourself and then trying on a few different sizes to check the fit.
