What Is 38 E Bra Size?

Last Updated on March 23, 2022 by Sarah Keene

That is where the confusion comes in so let me make it clear. A DD cup = E for full figure bras, DDD = F, but if you are used to buying a standard bra that comes in cup sizes B-DD and no higher, there will be about a half cup size increase between the DD in a standard style and a DD/E in a full figure style.

Similarly, is E cup size considered big? E is considered a fairly big cup size.

Amazingly, is bra size E bigger than D? The E size is used only in the EU, where it is equal to 10 centimeters greater than band size. That is equal to about 4 inches, which is the size of a US/UK D cup, and an inch smaller than a DD cup. (The EU standard sensibly avoids doubled letters.)

Also know, what’s the difference between DD and E? Fundamentally, cup size is measured by the difference between your under bust (i.e. band size) and your bust – measured around the fullest part of the breasts (generally across the nipples). In the US, the DD bra cup is the same as the E bra cup. However, the DD bra cup is smaller than the E bra cup in the UK.

Also, what is the difference between a DD and E cup bra? For European bra sizes, an E-cup bra is made for five-inch breasts, while in the UK, a size E is for six-inch breasts. In the USA, size E isn’t used, but sizes DDD and size F are used instead. Sometimes size DD is used instead of size E in the USA as well as in the UK.

Is F cup bigger than e?

To further confuse things, in standard U.S. sizing there are no E or F cups. A breast measurement 5 inches larger than the band size is a DD and a breast measurement 6 inches larger than the band size is a DDD. Some European brands do have E and F cups. And there is some variance in sizing among the brands.

What is my correct bra size?

Is DD smaller than E?

A DD is a cup size smaller than an E (assuming you kept the same band size i.e and 32DD is smaller than a 32E). DDD is where it gets confusing, some brands don’t run that size (here in the U.K., anyway) so a DDD would be equivalent to an E.
