Bra Cup Sizes in Order, Smallest to Largest
Cup letters run in a simple order that splits into dialects after D. Below is the full ladder, smallest to largest, in all three lettering systems side by side, each row representing roughly one more inch of bust-band difference.
| Difference (in) | US | UK | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| <1 | AA | AA | AA |
| 1 | A | A | A |
| 2 | B | B | B |
| 3 | C | C | C |
| 4 | D | D | D |
| 5 | DD | DD | E |
| 6 | DDD | E | F |
| 7 | G | F | G |
| 8 | H | FF | H |
| 9 | I | G | I |
| 10 | J | GG | J |
| 11 | K | H | K |
| 12 | L | HH | L |
| 13 | M | J | M |
| 14 | N | JJ | N |
| 15 | O | K | O |
| 16 | P | KK | P |
Reading the ladder correctly
Two things make cup orders confusing. First, the US double-letter habit: DD and DDD are real steps, not emphasis, sitting between D and G. Second, the divergence: a UK F is a US DDD-and-a-bit, an EU F is different again, so a letter without its system attached is ambiguous past D. When comparing across systems, convert through the inch difference (the left column) or use the converter, which does it precisely.
And the eternal reminder: a letter alone is not a size. Every letter in this table exists on bands 28 through 60, and a 30G holds less than a 38D. The comparison tool settles any two specific sizes.
