Convert centimetre-based EU bands into US inch labels without losing cup volume. Follow the chart, examples, and fit tips to order from American retailers confidently.
Covers EU bands 60–120 (US 28–52) with cups A through K.
Divide centimetres to find US bands
Most EU bands convert by dividing by five: EU 80 becomes US 36, EU 85 becomes US 38, and so on.
US reintroduces double letters
EU E converts to US DD, EU F to US DDD/F, then the sequence continues G, H, and beyond.
Confirm the store's base system
Some retailers list both EU and US sizes—use the converted US column when you're shipping to or shopping within the States.

Convert your size in four steps
- Start from your best EU size Measure your snug underbust in centimetres or use a bra that already fits in EU sizing.
- Match the US band and cup Use the chart to replace the EU band with its US equivalent and insert US double letters where needed.
- Lean on sister sizes If the converted band feels different, move to the next US band and offset with the sister cup to keep the same volume.
- Verify before removing tags Try nearby US sizes or check reviews—different US brands may run snugger or wider than their EU counterparts.

EU 65E divides to a US 30 band and picks up the US double-letter DD.

An EU 70F converts to US 32E—the band shrinks to inches and the cup gains a double letter.
EU 75F -> US 34E
EU 75F becomes US 34E, ideal for cross-border orders from US retailers.
EU 80G -> US 36F
EU 80G maps neatly to US 36F, keeping the same cup depth with a different label.
