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

  1. Start from your best EU size Measure your snug underbust in centimetres or use a bra that already fits in EU sizing.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Verify before removing tags Try nearby US sizes or check reviews—different US brands may run snugger or wider than their EU counterparts.

Worked conversion examples

EU 65E -> US 30DD

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

EU 70F -> US 32E

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.

EU to US conversion FAQ

How do I convert EU band numbers to US sizes?

Divide the centimetre band by 5 to find the US band. For example, an EU 80 band converts to a US 36.

Do US cups use the same letters as EU?

US charts insert double letters like DD and DDD/F. Check the conversion table to know when to add those half steps.

Should I change the band after converting?

Keep the converted band first. Only move to the next band if you specifically want more grip or give, then use the corresponding sister size cup.

Where can I shop for US-sized bras after converting?

Large US retailers like Nordstrom, Soma, and Bare Necessities stock extended sizes and ship internationally.
