About Brazil Bra Sizing
Brazilian bras often use a single dress-style band number (38, 40, 42...) and numeric cup sizes (1, 2, 3) instead of letters.

How to Convert From Brazil to Other Systems
To convert your Brazil bra size to another system, change the band first, then the cup:
- Band conversion: divide your cm band by 2.54 to get the inch equivalent for US/UK.
- Cup conversion: A–D is universal. Past D, US uses DD/DDD, UK uses E/F/FF, and EU/JP/BR use single letters E/F/G or numeric 1/2/3.
