Sizing issues with different countries
Cup grading across brands from different countries needs a little clarification.
European E cups are the equivalent of an American DDD cup, unless otherwise indicated. French bras are an exception; these are not available in DD cups, so French E cups generally fit like DD and F cups fit like DDD. This will be clearly indicated in the format DD (label E) or E (label F).

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a single set of measurements which defines these dress sizes in inches / centimetres, as many of our suppliers do not give this information. Therefore, different brands sized as 10, 12 etc. on the website may vary slightly in size. However, as a general guide, European brands (French/Italian/Spanish) tend to come up on the small side, whilst American brands tend to be slightly generous in size.

Sizing Differences between Brands
The slight variation in hosiery sizes for each brand occurs during the knitting stage of production, the main cause for this being the difference in yarn tension into the machine. Below are the brands we have found to differ a little more than most/others.
Please note: If you are tall (5'6" plus) and bordering on two sizes it may be preferable to go for the larger size.
