So this is what I have to deal with...
Ugh.. so I'm also going to rant here
The brand Alexis Smith has a *very* particular sizing, in which a US D cup is equivalent to a UK DD cup, so not even D cups are safe (this means than a UK D is a US C for them). So which is the 4th cup? is an A cup a B cup?
But my rant is not about that, it is about their bras coming in UK FF cups, and their size chart does *not* include FF cups on the list. The problem is that they do UK F == US DDD and UK G == US F.
So I ask them on Twitter, what's the deal with UK FF cups https://twitter.com/bratabase/status/387098699618201601 and they say than an UK FF converts to a US H cup.
So for US their cups would be like this: D, DD, DDD, H, F <- yes, H before F.
They'd be better saying that a UK FF is a US E cup and get away with it.
Unless, they of course change all their sizing silently.
On the positive side of things, they only label their bras in UK sizing, so all conversions don't exist in the real world, and I'm the only one trying to make sense of them it seems.
Sorry about the rant, but tonight I'm working on redoing how brands do sizing and these problems come to light. Good thing we have ways of supporting these scenarios, but still it is BS to me.
