Bra Size Chart

Every bra size from 28AA to 48H with its underbust and bust measurements, in inches and centimeters — plus the band chart, the cup chart, and US, UK, EU, FR, AU and JP equivalents.

Last reviewed on 8 November 2026.

Every bra size is built from two measurements. The band is the snug measurement around your ribcage, just under the bust. The cup is the difference between your full bust and that band measurement. The two charts below convert each measurement into a size; if you have not measured yet, start with how to measure your bra size or use the quick checker below.

Skip the chart: check your size

Enter your underbust and full bust and the checker reads the chart for you, with sister sizes and a link to the guide for your size.

Band size chart (underbust → band)

Find your underbust measurement, then read across for the band number in each system. Bands are even numbers; round to the nearest one.

Cup size chart (bust − underbust → cup)

Subtract your underbust from your full bust and find the difference below. Cup letters match across systems up to D, then diverge.

Difference US UK / AU EU / FR / JP

1 in (2.5 cm)AAA
2 in (5 cm)BBB
3 in (7.5 cm)CCC
4 in (10 cm)DDD
5 in (12.5 cm)DDDDE
6 in (15 cm)DDD / FEF

Note: cup letters above D vary by brand, especially in US sizing where DDD, DDDD, and F/G are used inconsistently. The conversion chart shows how each system maps step by step.

Full bra size chart: every size with its measurements

The two charts above are the rule; this one is the rule applied to every size. Each cell is a size, with the full-bust measurement it is built for underneath. Read down the left-hand column for your underbust (band), then across to the column whose difference matches yours. Every size links to its own guide with sister sizes, conversions and fit notes.

Band rows show the underbust range each band fits; cup columns show the bust-minus-underbust difference. US DDD and F are the same cup, so the DDD/F column covers both. Cells in the same diagonal (for example 32D, 34C, 36B) are sister sizes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I read a bra size chart?

Use two measurements. Find your underbust in the band table to get your band number. Then subtract your underbust from your full bust and find that difference in the cup table to get your cup letter. Together they make your size, such as 34C.

What is the average bra size?

Average measured size has drifted upward over time and varies by country, but in the US and UK it is commonly cited around a 34DD/34E. Averages are not targets — the right size is whatever your own measurements give.

Is a bra size chart the same in every country?

No. Band numbers differ (the US and UK use inches, the EU and Japan use centimeters, France adds 15 to the EU number, Australia uses a small even scale) and cup letters diverge above D. The conversion chart lines them up side by side.

What bra size is a 34-inch underbust and 38-inch bust?

A 34-inch underbust gives a 34 band. The bust is 4 inches larger, and 4 inches is a D cup, so the size is 34D (UK 34D, EU 75D). In centimeters that is roughly an 86 cm underbust and a 97 cm bust. The same method works for any pair of numbers, or the checker above does it for you.

How do I use the bra size chart in cm?

Switch the full chart to centimeters with the toggle above it. Measure your underbust and bust in cm, find the band row that contains your underbust, then move across to the column whose difference matches yours (about 2.5 cm per cup letter). EU, FR and JP sizes read the band directly in centimeters, so a US 34 is an EU 75 and a FR 90.

Is a bigger cup letter always a bigger cup?

Only on the same band. The letter measures the difference between bust and underbust, so a 32D and a 38D are very different cups. Reading the chart diagonally shows this: a 32D holds about the same volume as a 34C or a 36B. If you change band, change cup the other way to keep the same fit.
