How many pounds do you have to lose to go down a bra size?

Losing a cup size varies greatly, but often takes a significant weight loss, sometimes 15-20 pounds for smaller losses or up to 50 pounds or more for larger reductions, depending on your starting size and body composition, as breasts lose fat but also contain glandular tissue that doesn't shrink as easily. Some sources suggest roughly 200g of tissue equals one cup size change, but this can differ, with some people noticing changes sooner (15-20 lbs) and others not seeing a change until much later.

Yes, 32C and 34B are considered "sister sizes," meaning they have the same cup volume, but the band size differs: 32C has a smaller, tighter band, while 34B has a slightly looser band, with the cups holding the same amount of breast tissue. This relationship helps find a better fit by adjusting band and cup sizes inversely: if the band is too tight, you go down in band and up in cup (e.g., 34B to 32C), and if the band is too loose, you go up in band and down in cup (e.g., 32C to 34B).
