UK to US bra size converter

Shopping from a brand in another country? UK and US band numbers match; a UK 34 becomes EU/JP 75, France 90 and AU 12. UK and US cups match up to DD, then the UK goes E, F, FF, G while the US goes DDD, G, H, I. Type your size and we'll translate it into all six labels.

After DD the letters split: UK 34E is US 34DDD.

Worked example: a UK 34E is a US 34DDD, which some US brands print as 34F. A 34F from one of those brands is a UK 34E, not a UK 34F.

Ladders from Wikipedia, "Bra size", cross-checked against A Bra That Fits' converter: we ran 18 measurement pairs through it in UK, US and EU labels on 25 September 2026, and our engine reproduces every answer (recorded outputs kept in our test fixtures, not published).

US to UK bra size: the ladder read from the US side

Start from the letter on a US tag. The band number stays the same; only the cup letter changes after DD. The G cup and H cup pages show both readings of those letters by band: a UK G is a US I, and a UK H is a US K.

US cup to UK cupAA to O on the US ladder. A US E or F alias is read as DD or DDD.

Three things converters get wrong

US "E" and "F" are not UK E and F

Some US brands print E for DD and F for DDD. On those labels a US 34E is a UK 34DD, one cup smaller than a UK 34E. Our converter reads a US E as DD and a US F as DDD, and tells you when it did. If the US brand's chart runs D, DD, DDD, E, trust the brand chart. Victoria's Secret prints both names ("DD (E)", "DDD (F)"). SKIMS's cup table pairs US F with UK F, but its own size grid disagrees above DD. Do not use this converter's F alias for SKIMS: check the brand’s own sizing method.

Australian brands disagree above F

Australian bands are the UK band minus 22 (UK 34 is AU 12). Cups follow UK letters to F. Above F, Berlei's chart skips FF and GG and stops at H; A Bra That Fits' Australian output skips them too and continues to HH. Our converter uses that ladder. Freya and Wacoal keep FF and GG in their Australian rows. A UK 34FF becomes AU 12G here, but AU 12FF on those brand charts. Check the brand's own label.

Japanese cups run a letter ahead

Japan's JIS L 4006 ladder starts at AA for a 7.5 cm difference and uses 2.5 cm cup steps. Our chart starts at Japanese A, paired with UK AA, and does not convert Japanese AA. A US 34D converts approximately to E75 (OneMall, 2026). Converters disagree above DD, so JP outputs are marked approximate. Our table stops at I; Japanese brand charts can go further.

Quick answers

Are UK and US bra sizes the same?

Bands are the same number in both. Cups share letters up to DD. After that the UK goes E, F, FF, G, GG, H and the US goes DDD, G, H, I, J, so a UK 34E is a US 34DDD and a UK 34FF is a US 34H.

What is a UK 34E in US sizes?

US 34DDD. Some US brands print it as 34F, because they label DD as E and DDD as F.

What is a US 34DDD in UK sizes?

UK 34E. In EU sizes it is 75F, in France 90F, in Australia 12E.
