Hello BtB! And thank you Jj for creating this amazing website that I am slowly (QUICKLY!) becoming obsessed with. Here I am posting my first post!

I keep coming to this same question over and over again when it comes to every where besides US/UK. Within the US/UK each inch equals a cup size; A=1, 2=B, C=3, etc. Yet, in every other country they use 2 centimeters to determine each cup size, which is about a half centimeter smaller than an inch. This appears to not be a problem for the first three or four cup sizes, but let's use my measurements for the example. Under bust: 26 inches/ 66 centimeters. Bust: 32 inches/81.5 centimeters. 32-26=6=E* but using centimeters, 66-81=15=F* and I totally dropped an entire centimeter and a half so the real answer would be F/FF*. Is this correct? Would I need to go up an entire cup size in EU/FR?

*I also used UK double letters to determine cup sizes; A,B,C,D,DD,E,F,FF,G.
