Overview of Cup Size Systems and Regional Variations
Cup sizes are determined by the difference between the bust (fullest point) and underbust (snug) measurements. Generally, each 1-inch (2.54 cm) difference corresponds to one cup size (e.g., 1 inch = A, 2 inches = B).
US: Uses AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, DD, DDD/F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, with some brands varying (e.g., DDD vs. F).
UK: Uses AA, A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, K, with double letters after D.
Europe: Uses AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, with band sizes in centimeters.
Australia: Aligns closely with UK sizing (AA, A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, etc.).
Japan: Uses AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, with band sizes in centimeters.
China: Similar to Japan, uses AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, etc., with local band size conventions.
Notes on the Chart
AAA Cup: The AAA cup (US) is for differences less than 0.5 inches, rare in most systems outside the US. Other regions typically start at AA or A.
Measurement Precision: Differences are approximate; brands may round up or down (e.g., a 5.5-inch difference might be DD or DDD depending on the brand).
US Variations: US sizing uses DD, DDD (sometimes F), and single letters beyond (G, H, I, etc.). Some brands label DDD as F or E.
UK Double Letters: UK sizing introduces double letters (DD, FF, GG, HH, JJ) after D, which shifts equivalencies (e.g., UK E = US DDD/F).
Europe and Japan: Use single letters and align closely, with band sizes in centimeters (e.g., 70, 75, 80). Japan extends to larger cups (N, O) in some brands.
Australia: Mirrors UK sizing but may vary slightly by brand.
China: Aligns with Japan/Europe for cup sizes, but band sizes may follow local conventions.
Fit Caveats: Cup size equivalencies assume consistent band sizes, but fit varies by bra style, brand, and body shape.
