November 20[edit]

brassieres[edit]

(Entertainment rather than Miscellaneous because of the context.)

In "Fathers and Suns", Rimmer chooses "36D" for the new AI's avatar's bust (though only her face is ever seen). Are brassiere sizes the same in Britain as across the pond, or was it written that way for the American market? —Tamfang (talk) 10:18, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bra size describes the differences. Although cup size classification differs, as it happens a 'D' cup is the same in both systems, and the UK and US share the under-bust measurement system. Rojomoke (talk) 10:50, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
