UK chart
Use this UK bra size chart as a practical reference for British band numbers and cup labels. UK sizing is widely used by full-bust brands, especially after DD.
UK bands are usually shown in inch-based even numbers. Measure snugly under the bust and compare the range below.
| UK Band Size | Underbust Range | Fit Note |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | 26-27 in | Petite band range |
| 32 | 28-29 in | Common smaller band |
| 34 | 30-31 in | Common medium band |
| 36 | 32-33 in | Medium plus band |
| 38 | 34-35 in | Fuller band range |
| 40 | 36-37 in | Extended band range |
| 42 | 38-39 in | Extended band range |
UK cup labels usually progress D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H. This can differ from US labeling after DD.
| UK Cup Size | Bust minus Band | Fit Note |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1 in | Small cup volume |
| B | 2 in | Moderate cup volume |
| C | 3 in | Fuller cup volume |
| D | 4 in | Full cup volume |
| DD | 5 in | Common full-bust starting point |
| E | 6 in | Often maps to US DDD/F |
| F | 7 in | Extended cup range |
| FF | 8 in | UK double-letter progression |
| G | 9 in | Extended cup range |
UK sizing uses familiar inch-based band numbers, but the cup sequence is different from many US brands after DD. The UK sequence is especially important when shopping brands such as Panache, Freya, Fantasie, and Bravissimo.
Use the UK chart when a brand lists cups such as E, F, FF, G, or GG. If the label says DDD, it may be using US sizing instead.
UK and US band numbers are usually similar, but cup labels often differ after DD.
In many UK size charts, E comes after DD, followed by F, FF, G, and GG.
Often yes. Many full-bust lingerie brands use UK cup progression, even when sold internationally.
