Bra Size Calculator Colombia
Colombia uses US-style sizing: inch bands with US cup letters, led by homegrown brand Leonisa and sold in department stores such as Éxito alongside Gef, Punto Blanco and St. Even. If you know your US size, you know your Colombian size.

Sizes on this page are estimates. Sizing varies by brand and style, so always check the brand’s own size chart and try on before you buy. Nothing here is medical advice.
How to measure
You need a soft measuring tape and two minutes. Underbust: wrap the tape directly under your bust, level and snug, breathing out normally. Bust: wrap it around the fullest part, level across your back, without pressing in. Enter both numbers above, in inches or centimetres. The full steps are in the step-by-step measuring guide.
Colombia bra size chart
| CO / US band | EU band | FR band |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | 70 | 85 |
| 30 | 75 | 90 |
| 32 | 80 | 95 |
| 34 | 85 | 100 |
| 36 | 90 | 105 |
| 38 | 95 | 110 |
Cups run by the difference between your bust and band measurements. One inch of difference is roughly one cup step in US and UK sizing; in centimetre systems the steps are 2.5 cm.
How Colombia sizing works
Colombian labels you will see most often are US-style: bands 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and cups AA, A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, G, H. Some stores also carry European imports, so check whether the label you are reading is US or EU before ordering.
A worked example
A 34-inch underbust with a 3-inch difference is a Colombian 34C, an EU 85D and a French 100D.
Converting to and from Colombia sizes
A Colombian 34C is a UK 34C, an EU 85D and a French 100D. Because Colombia commonly uses US sizing, conversion is mostly a matter of translating the cup letters for EU and French labels.
Common measuring mistakes
Measuring over a padded bra lifts and compresses, giving a smaller bust reading. Measure without a bra or in a thin, unpadded one. Pulling the tape too tight underestimates the band. Letting the tape droop at the back overestimates the bust. Using an old size without re-measuring — weight, pregnancy, breastfeeding and aging all change the numbers, so re-measure every year or two.
Shopping tips for Colombia
Colombian stores commonly use US sizing, but European imports sold in Colombia carry EU labels. Check the tag’s system before you buy: a US 34 and an EU 85 are not the same band, even though both numbers look familiar.
Colombia’s best-known lingerie export is Leonisa, sold at home alongside Gef, Punto Blanco, St. Even and Tania in department stores such as Éxito. A worked example: a US 34C is a Colombian 34C, and a US 34DDD is a Colombian 34DDD — Colombian labels follow US sizing directly, so no conversion is needed for American brands. European imports do appear in Colombian stores, so a tag showing 75 or 80 is a centimetre size, not an inch band.
One habit covers every system: check the system on the label, convert both the band and the cup, and try the bra on before committing to more than one. Returns are easier than a drawer full of the wrong size.
