Guess what, nearly all women get their bra sizes wrong*. There is no
uniformity of sizes among manufacturers and product ranges. And there are
many different size schemes in use (a French woman that tells you to get a
100 b would be offended if you showed up with a nothern-european 100 b).
Two years ago US manufacturer Playtex even came up with its own patented
sizesystem ranging 'Nearly A' to 'Nearly C', just so women had some extra
figures to choose from and would be able to get a better fitting bra.
Indeed, there is a clear analogy here with the EU trying to establish a
uniform and more descriptive and informative system of apparel sizes, which
has met with simillar sentiment from the German textile-industry and
retailers like Otto, in particular.
*let alone men buying bra's for women

I don't know. Somehow the simplicity of bra cup sizes A..E
appeals more to me. ;-)
Don't bother the customer/viewer with too many numbers.
