115H bra size
A 115H bra is cut for an underbust of 112.5–117.5 cm and a bust of 141–143 cm. Below it is the same size as every other system prints it, and the sister sizes that hold the same cup.

Where each notation comes from
What each notation means — why the British band reads 34 and the Italian reads 2 — is set out system by system on the bra size page.

Nothing here is looked up in a table of equivalents: band and cup are computed once from the metric ladder, then printed in each system’s own letters (formula version 2).

Where these numbers come from
The band is the underbust rounded to the nearest five centimeters, so 112.5–117.5 cm all round to 115. The cup is how far the bust exceeds that band’s nominal value: 26–28 cm gives this letter, at two centimeters per letter starting at ten. Add them and you get a bust of 141–143 cm.
The cup is measured against the nominal 115, not against the tape. That is what every published chart does, and it is why an underbust at the bottom of this band and one at the top get the same letter despite five centimeters between them. Near a band edge, try the sister size too.
In inches, 115H is an underbust of 44.3–46.3" and a bust of 55.5–56.3". Note that the UK and US band number is not that measurement: 115 cm is 44.3–46.3", and the band is called 50FF because the English notation adds four inches.
Same cup as 115H, different band
One band up is one letter down, because the cup is measured over the band — which makes 110I, 120G the same volume as 115H. In a shop the printed size that fits is routinely not the one the tape said, so these are worth trying on.
One step away
115G, 115I, 110H, 120H — a letter either side of 115H on this band, and this letter on the neighbouring bands.
