Likewise, is bra cup size E bigger than DD? For some reason, we have been brainwashed into thinking that boob sizes go from A-DD, DD being the biggest boob/bra size. DD is actually at the lower end of the scale, there is still E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, and K cup above that.

Also know, is DD bigger than e UK? In the US a DD is the same as an E, but in the UK a E is the equivalent of a US DDD, and, if on the same band size, is one inch larger than a DD. (UK and US cups are the same from AA-DD).
Similarly, is 32E the same as 34DD? It all comes down to sister sizes. These are bra sizes that share the same cup volume, like a 34DD and a 32E do.A 34E is the same as 34DD US. 1 of 3 found this helpful.
