Covers US bands 28–52 and EU bands 60–120 with cups AA through K.

EU bands use centimetres

Match US 28–52 to EU 60–120 in 5 cm increments. Each step reflects roughly two inches of underbust difference.

Double letters collapse

US DD becomes EU E, DDD/F becomes F, then the alphabet continues with G, H, J, and beyond.

Check continental hang tags

EU labels often print both EU and FR columns—select the EU column when translating a US size.

Convert your size in four steps

  1. Confirm your current US size Measure your snug underbust and standing bust or start from a bra that already fits well.
  2. Find the EU band and cup Use the chart to replace inches with the correct 5 cm EU band and adjust the cup letter accordingly.
  3. Check sister sizes if needed If the converted band feels tight or loose, move one EU band up or down and offset with the matching sister cup.
  4. Verify the fit Try on the new size or read EU customer reviews before removing tags.

Worked conversion examples

US 30DD -> EU 65E

US double D becomes a single-letter E once you shift to EU notation.

US 32F -> EU 70G

After E, the EU scale climbs F, G, H—one letter forward for each cup step.

US 34DD -> EU 75E

The band changes from inches to centimetres while DD simplifies to E.

US 36G -> EU 80H

Full-bust letters slide one position forward, so US G equals EU H.

US to EU conversion FAQ

How do US band numbers convert to EU sizes?

EU bands are measured in centimetres in steps of 5. Follow the chart to replace 32-52 with 70-120 while keeping the same cup volume.

Do EU cups use double letters?

EU charts remove the US double letters. DD becomes E and DDD/F becomes F. After that the lettering continues with G, H, etc.

Will the fit change when I switch to EU sizing?

The fit should stay consistent if you keep the converted band and cup. Try the neighbouring EU band only if you intentionally want a tighter or looser underband.

Where can I buy EU-sized bras after converting?

Look for European designers, multi-brand retailers like Zalando, or US stores that import Chantelle, PrimaDonna, and other EU labels.
