You are close, but a little off when it comes to bra size measuring. Band size does not equal rib cage size.
It goes more like this... If you are measuring under your ribs, then with the number you get, add 4 if it's an even number, or 5 if it's odd. Example: 30, add 4 = 34
Band size = 34.
Then you measure your chest (with your bra on)
Chest size example: 36
Then you subtract the band size with the chest size to get your cup size.
36 - 34 = 2"
1" = A
2" = B
3" = C
...etc...
But there is an alternate way to measure. Measuring above your chest (under your shoulders) instead of the ribcage will get an accurate band size number without having to add anything, then you just subtract like normal.

See I've heard that first one before, but for me it doesnt make sense.
See I'm tiny, 29 inches around my ribcage right under the breasts. And then around my breasts is 32 inches.
So, if I were to measure the way you said, I'd have a negative cup size...
So when I read what I said as being how you measure, that made a lot more sense.
