The next cup size up from 36C would be 36D, and the next band size up (with the same size cups) would be 38B. The reason that the cup size changes with the band size is that the cups are sized in proportion to the band, so a 38C would be one cup size bigger than a 36C as well as being one band size bigger.

The number is the "band size" or "back size," and refers to the size of your frame excluding your breasts. The correct band size will usually be your underbust/ribcage measurement rounded to the nearest even number, for example if your underbust measures 33 inches you will most likely need a 34.

The cup size is represented by a letter, and this is relative to the band size so if you currently fill a 36D but you need a 34 band, then a 34D will be too small. You will need to try a 34DD - go up one cup size for every band size that you go down.
