115J bra size
A 115J bra is cut for an underbust of 112.5–117.5 cm and a bust of 145–147 cm. Below it is the same size as every other system prints it, and the sister sizes that hold the same cup.

A starred letter continues that system’s published table rather than being taken from it — European charts stop at H, British ones run further, and the same breast is published in one and extrapolated in the other.
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: 30–32 cm gives this letter, at two centimeters per letter starting at ten. Add them and you get a bust of 145–147 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, 115J is an underbust of 44.3–46.3" and a bust of 57.1–57.9". Note that the UK and US band number is not that measurement: 115 cm is 44.3–46.3", and the band is called 50GG because the English notation adds four inches.
