How to measure correctly (Hoe te meten)
  1. Wear a non-padded bra or no bra. Stand naturally.
  2. Onderbust: wrap tape snugly around your ribcage directly under the bust. Keep tape parallel to floor. Exhale and measure in centimetres.
  3. Bovenbust: measure around the fullest part of your bust. Tape should be loose enough to slide a finger underneath.
  4. Round to the nearest 0.5 cm for best accuracy.

How Does Dutch Bra Sizing Work?

Quick Answer

Dutch bra sizing is the EU standard: centimetre-based band numbers (65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95…) paired with single-letter cup sizes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) — no doubled letters, no DD or DDD. Band is your onderbust (underbust) rounded to the nearest 5 cm. Cup is the difference between bovenbust (overbust) and onderbust in 2 cm steps. NL 75C = EU 75C = DE 75C = ES 75C = IT 75C. Major Dutch brands Hunkemöller, Marlies Dekkers, Triumph NL, and HEMA all use this system. Zalando Netherlands stocks both EU-sized and UK-sized brands — always check the brand’s size guide.

The Netherlands has one of the most sophisticated lingerie retail markets in Europe, anchored by Hunkemöller — a Dutch-founded chain that has grown into Europe’s largest lingerie retailer with over 900 stores across 19 countries. Founded in Amsterdam in 1886, Hunkemöller is the reference brand for Dutch bra sizing and uses the EU standard precisely throughout its range.

Alongside Hunkemöller, the Netherlands is home to Marlies Dekkers — arguably Europe’s most architecturally distinctive luxury lingerie brand, founded in Amsterdam in 1993. Marlies Dekkers uses EU sizing throughout their precision-engineered range and is the Dutch market equivalent of what La Perla is to Italy: a domestically-founded luxury benchmark. Both brands use the same EU standard — NL 75E from Hunkemöller and NL 75E from Marlies Dekkers are the same band and cup volume.

HEMA — the Dutch variety store — stocks an accessible own-label lingerie range using EU sizing. As one of the Netherlands’ most ubiquitous retailers, HEMA is often where Dutch shoppers encounter EU sizing for the first time. Zalando Netherlands (Zalando.nl) stocks both EU-sized domestic brands and UK-sized international brands on the same platform — creating the same dual-system challenge familiar to Irish and Australian shoppers when buying from multi-brand platforms.

How to Measure Your Dutch Bra Size

Dutch sizing is centimetre-based with no offsets. You need your onderbust (underbust) and bovenbust (overbust) in centimetres.

  1. Voorbereiding / Prepare correctly

    Wear a non-padded bra or no bra. Stand naturally with arms relaxed. Hunkemöller’s in-store fitting guides (beschikbaar in alle Nederlandse filialen) recommend measuring without a bra for maximum accuracy.

  2. Meet je onderbust / Measure your underbust in centimetres

    Wrap the tape snugly around your ribcage directly beneath your bust. Keep it parallel to the floor. Exhale fully and record to the nearest 0.5 cm. Your Dutch band size is your underbust rounded to the nearest 5 cm: 74 cm → NL 75, 78 cm → NL 80.

  3. Meet je bovenbust / Measure your overbust in centimetres

    Measure around the fullest point of your bust. Keep the tape horizontal and loose enough to slide one finger underneath. Record to the nearest 0.5 cm.

  4. Bereken je bandmaat / Calculate your NL band

    Round underbust to nearest 5 cm: 63–67 cm = NL 65, 68–72 cm = NL 70, 73–77 cm = NL 75, 78–82 cm = NL 80, 83–87 cm = NL 85, 88–92 cm = NL 90, 93–97 cm = NL 95. If exactly on a boundary, try the smaller band first — Dutch brands use elastane that relaxes with wear.

  5. Bereken je cupmaat / Calculate your NL cup letter

    Subtract onderbust from bovenbust in cm, using 2 cm intervals: 10–11 cm = A, 12–13 cm = B, 14–15 cm = C, 16–17 cm = D, 18–19 cm = E, 20–21 cm = F, 22–23 cm = G, 24–25 cm = H. NL E equals UK DD — not UK E.

Pro tip

Hunkemöller biedt gratis beha-fitting aan in alle Nederlandse winkels. Their fitting assistants are trained to the EU standard and are among the most experienced retail fitters in Europe, given Hunkemöller’s scale and training investment across their 900-store network. For extended cup sizes (G cup and above — UK F and beyond), Dutch shoppers should look to Hunkemöller’s Plus Cup range, Marlies Dekkers, Triumph NL, or UK specialists like Bravissimo who ship to the Netherlands.

Veelgemaakte fout / Common mistake

On Zalando.nl, Hunkemöller NL 75E and a UK-labelled Freya 34E appear in the same search results. They are not the same size. Hunkemöller NL 75E has an 18–19 cm cup differential — equivalent to UK 34DD. Freya UK 34E has a 20–21 cm cup differential. Freya UK 34E is one full cup size larger than Hunkemöller NL 75E. When ordering UK brands on Zalando NL: if your Hunkemöller size is NL 75E, your Freya size is UK 34DD — not UK 34E. Always check the brand’s individual size guide on Zalando before ordering.

Dutch Bra Brand Sizing Guide (Merkengids)

All major Dutch and European brands sold in the Netherlands use NL/EU sizing — no offsets. Construction philosophy, cup shape, and market positioning vary significantly.

Hunkemöller NL

Founded in Amsterdam in 1886. Europe’s largest lingerie chain — over 900 stores in 19 countries. Hunkemöller’s sizing follows the EU standard precisely and is the Dutch market reference brand for accurate NL sizing. Their fitting research and in-store fitting programme are the most comprehensive in the Netherlands. Stocks NL/EU 65–105, cups AA–I in the full range including a dedicated Plus Cup section.

Fit: True to NL/EU size. Hunkemöller is the Dutch calibration brand — use it as your reference before testing other labels. Their Plus Cup range (NL G–I = UK F–G) provides coverage that most Dutch multi-brand retailers do not stock. Bands run true to EU standard.

Marlies Dekkers NL

Founded in Amsterdam in 1993. Europe’s most architecturally distinctive luxury lingerie brand — often described as “wearable sculpture.” Marlies Dekkers uses EU/NL sizing precisely. Their construction uses narrow, precise underwires and minimal stretch fabric, creating a very structured fit that suits medium-to-full projection breast shapes. Stocks NL/EU 70–90, cups A–F.

Fit: True to NL/EU size. Bands run firm — they are designed to be structural. If you normally start bras on the middle hook, consider sizing up one NL band with Marlies Dekkers. Cups are precise — narrow wire width favours average-to-close breast spacing.

HEMA NL

The Netherlands’ most ubiquitous variety retailer. HEMA stocks affordable own-label lingerie using EU/NL sizing. Stocks NL/EU 70–95, cups A–E in most stores. Budget price point with good basic coverage. HEMA is where many Dutch shoppers first encounter EU sizing — their accessible sizing and nationwide coverage make them a reference point for everyday basics.

Fit: True to NL/EU band. Cups run slightly shallow in moulded styles — size up one cup in HEMA padded/moulded styles if between sizes. Best for A–C cup everyday basics at accessible price points. Limited above D cup.

Triumph NL

German brand’s Dutch market presence. Uses NL/EU sizing — identical to Triumph DE and Triumph ES. Triumph NL 75C = Triumph DE 75C = EU 75C. Stocks NL/EU 65–105, cups A–H. Best Dutch market option for NL F cup and above where Hunkemöller’s standard range ends. Stocked via Zalando NL, Bol.com, and select department stores.

Fit: True to NL/EU size. Triumph NL is the most accessible option for E–H cup in the Netherlands from a mainstream brand. Their Doreen and Amourette full-cup styles extend where Hunkemöller’s standard fashion range stops.

Zalando NL (multi-brand)

Zalando.nl stocks both EU-sized brands (Hunkemöller, Triumph, Sloggi, Marlies Dekkers) and UK-sized brands (Freya, Panache, Gossard) on the same platform. EU brands show NL/EU cm bands. UK brands show UK inch bands. The same search results page may return NL 75 from Hunkemöller and UK 34 from Freya — both the same underbust measurement, different number systems.

Fit tip: On Zalando NL: EU brands use NL cm bands (65–105). UK brands use UK inch bands (28–46). For UK brands: NL 75 = UK 34, NL 80 = UK 36. Cup: NL E = UK DD, NL F = UK E. Always check the brand’s own size guide on the Zalando product page before ordering.

Bol.com NL (multi-brand)

Netherlands’ largest online retailer. Bol.com stocks lingerie from EU-sized Dutch brands (Hunkemöller, HEMA) and international brands including both EU-sized and UK-sized options. Similar dual-system challenge to Zalando NL. Filter by brand to identify which sizing system applies. EU brands use NL cm bands; UK brands use UK inch bands.

Fit tip: On Bol.com: identify the sizing system from the band number on the product label. NL/EU bands run 60–110. UK bands run 28–46. FR bands run 75–125. When in doubt, check the size guide on the brand’s own website before ordering from Bol.com.

Chantelle FR (in NL)

French brand sold in Dutch department stores (de Bijenkorf, Hudson’s Bay NL) using FR numbering (+15 band offset). Chantelle FR 90 sold in the Netherlands corresponds to NL 75 (68–72 cm underbust). To find your Chantelle size from your Dutch size: add 15 to your NL band. NL 75 → FR 90. NL 80 → FR 95. Cup letters are identical — NL E = FR E.

Conversion: Chantelle FR band → subtract 15 = NL equivalent. FR 90 → NL 75. FR 95 → NL 80. Cup letters identical — FR E = NL E. The same FR-in-EU trap as in Italy, Spain, and other EU markets.

Bravissimo UK (ships to NL)

UK D+ specialist. Ships to the Netherlands. Uses UK inch-based bands. NL 75 = UK 34, NL 80 = UK 36. Cup: NL E = UK DD, NL F = UK E, NL G = UK F. Drop one cup letter when converting NL to UK above D. Best option for NL E cup and above where Dutch retail coverage thins out beyond Hunkemöller’s Plus Cup range.

Conversion: NL 80F → UK 36E at Bravissimo. Drop one cup letter above D. Bravissimo’s D–L cup range provides the deepest coverage for large-cup Dutch shoppers ordering internationally.

Tekenen dat je behamaat niet klopt / Signs Your Dutch Bra Size Is Wrong

Bandproblemen / Band problems

  • Band kruipt omhoog aan de achterkant: band te groot. Probeer NL 5 cm kleiner, één cup groter (NL 80B → 75C).
  • Band snijdt in of laat afdrukken: band te klein. Probeer NL 5 cm groter, één cup kleiner (NL 75C → 80B).
  • Band trekt naar voren bij optillen armen: band te los. Gebruik een kleinere haak of ga 5 cm omlaag.

Cupproblemen / Cup problems

  • Overloopje boven of opzij: cup te klein. Één cupmaat groter (NL 80D → 80E).
  • Vouwen of gapen in de cup: cup te groot. Één cupmaat kleiner (NL 80D → 80C).
  • Beugel op borstweefsel i.p.v. ribben: cup te klein. Meteen één maat groter.
  • Middenstuk niet plat tegen het borstbeen: cup te klein of beugel te breed voor je borstafstand.
Waarschuwing

Hunkemöller’s passingsdata voor de Nederlandse markt — consistent met Europees onderzoek — toont dat de meerderheid van Nederlandse vrouwen een incorrecte behamaat draagt. Het meest voorkomende patroon: een band 2–4 maten te groot en een cup 2–3 letters te klein. De gratis pasvormservice bij alle Hunkemöller-winkels in Nederland is de meest toegankelijke eerste stap om je correcte NL-maat te vinden.

Shopping International Brands from the Netherlands

Buying from German retailers (Triumph DE, Zalando DE)

NL and DE sizing are identical. NL 75E = DE 75E. No conversion needed — shop in your exact NL size from any German retailer. Zalando.de, Triumph.de, and Hunkemöller.de all use the same EU sizing as Dutch stores.

Buying from French brands (Chantelle, de Bijenkorf)

FR band = NL band + 15: NL 75 → FR 90. NL 80 → FR 95. Cup letters identical — NL E = FR E. So NL 75E = FR 90E at Chantelle. Add 15 to your NL band and keep the same cup letter when ordering from French brands in the Netherlands or online.

Buying from UK retailers (Bravissimo, ASOS UK)

NL band to UK band: NL 70 = UK 32, NL 75 = UK 34, NL 80 = UK 36, NL 85 = UK 38. Cup through D: identical. Above D: NL E = UK DD, NL F = UK E, NL G = UK F, NL H = UK FF. So NL 80F = UK 36E. Drop one cup letter when converting NL to UK above D.

Buying from US retailers (Victoria’s Secret)

NL band to US band: NL 75 = US 34, NL 80 = US 36, NL 85 = US 38. Cup through D: identical. Above D: NL E = US DD, NL F = US DDD. So NL 75E = US 34DD. US bands run slightly small — size up one if borderline.

Tip voor Zalando.nl

When shopping on Zalando.nl, the size filter works differently for EU brands versus UK brands. Hunkemöller, Triumph NL, and Marlies Dekkers show EU cm bands in their filters. Freya, Panache, and Gossard show UK inch bands. The platform does not always label which system applies in the filter — identify by the band numbers available. If you see 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 as options: EU system, use your NL size directly. If you see 28, 30, 32, 34, 36: UK system, convert NL 75 → UK 34, NL 80 → UK 36.

Veelgestelde Vragen / Frequently Asked Questions

Hoe werkt de Nederlandse behamaatvoering?

Dutch bra sizing uses the EU standard: centimetre-based band numbers (65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95) and single-letter cup sizes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) with no doubled letters. Band is your onderbust (underbust) cm rounded to the nearest 5. Cup is bovenbust minus onderbust in 2 cm steps: 10–11 cm = A, 16–17 cm = D, 18–19 cm = E. Hunkemöller, Marlies Dekkers, Triumph NL, and HEMA all use this system.

Is de Nederlandse behamaat hetzelfde als de Duitse?

Yes — completely identical. NL 75C equals DE 75C equals EU 75C equals ES 75C equals IT 75C. Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Belgian, Austrian, and Scandinavian brands all use the same EU standard band numbers and cup letters. Shopping from any of these countries in your Dutch size requires no conversion whatsoever. Hunkemöller NL 75E = Triumph DE 75E.

What is NL cup E in UK and US sizes?

Dutch cup E equals UK cup DD and US cup DD. The NL and EU cup systems run one letter ahead of UK and AU above D cup. NL E (18–19 cm differential) corresponds to UK DD. NL F equals UK E. Dutch shoppers ordering from Bravissimo, Panache, or ASOS UK brands should drop one cup letter: NL 75E becomes UK 34DD, not 34E.

Hoe werkt Zalando.nl met behamaten?

Zalando.nl stocks both EU-sized brands (Hunkemöller, Triumph, Marlies Dekkers — using NL cm bands 65–105) and UK-sized brands (Freya, Panache, Gossard — using UK inch bands 28–46) on the same platform. Identify the system by the band numbers in the product filter. EU brands: numbers 65–105. UK brands: numbers 28–46. For UK brands: NL 75 = UK 34, NL 80 = UK 36. Cup: NL E = UK DD, NL F = UK E. Always check the brand’s own size guide before ordering.

What are sister sizes in Dutch bra sizing?

Sister sizes in the NL EU system step in 5 cm for the band and one letter for the cup. From NL 80C, the sister sizes are NL 75D (tighter band, same cup volume) and NL 85B (looser band, same cup volume). Identical to DE 80C, DE 75D, and DE 85B. Useful when shopping Hunkemöller or Zalando NL during uitverkoop (sale) when specific NL sizes sell out.

Hoe meet ik mijn Nederlandse behamaat thuis?

Measure onderbust snugly in cm and round to nearest 5: 68–72 cm = NL 70, 73–77 cm = NL 75, 78–82 cm = NL 80. Measure bovenbust loosely. Subtract: 10–11 cm = A, 12–13 cm = B, 14–15 cm = C, 16–17 cm = D, 18–19 cm = E, 20–21 cm = F. Hunkemöller recommends measuring without any bra. Our Netherlands calculator accepts centimetres directly.

How often should I remeasure my Dutch bra size?

Every six months at minimum, or after weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Hunkemöller’s fitting data for the Dutch market suggests most women who remeasure after more than a year find their size has shifted by at least one band or cup step. Hunkemöller’s free in-store pasvorm service at all Dutch stores is the most accessible way to verify your correct NL EU size.

What if I measure between two Dutch EU band sizes?

Dutch EU bands step in 5 cm, so boundary measurements are common. If your onderbust is exactly 77 cm — the boundary between NL 75 and NL 80 — try NL 75 first. Dutch brands use elastane blends that relax with wear. If still tight after a week of regular use, try NL 80 and size down one cup letter to maintain the same cup volume.

Is de Nederlandse behamaat hetzelfde als de Belgische?

Yes — completely identical. Belgium follows the EU standard, the same as the Netherlands. Belgian 75C equals Dutch NL 75C. Belgian brands and Dutch brands use the same band numbers and cup letters. Shopping from Belgian retailers (ICI Paris XL, Hunkemöller Belgium) in your Dutch size requires no conversion.

Wat is de meest voorkomende behamaat in Nederland?

Based on Hunkemöller’s Dutch market sales data, NL 80B and NL 80C are the most commonly purchased sizes in the Netherlands, reflecting an average onderbust of 73–77 cm. However, Hunkemöller’s pasvorm research suggests the true measured average is closer to NL 80D or NL 75E when accurately measured — consistent with the European-wide finding that most women wear a cup size smaller than their measured size.

How do I convert my Dutch NL size to UK size?

NL band to UK band: NL 70 = UK 32, NL 75 = UK 34, NL 80 = UK 36, NL 85 = UK 38. Cup through D: NL A = UK A, NL D = UK D — identical. Above D: NL E = UK DD, NL F = UK E, NL G = UK F, NL H = UK FF. So NL 80F = UK 36E at Bravissimo. Drop one cup letter when converting NL to UK above D cup.

Hoe converteer ik mijn NL maat naar een Franse maat (Chantelle)?

Add 15 to your NL band: NL 75 → FR 90, NL 80 → FR 95, NL 85 → FR 100. Cup letters are identical — NL E = FR E. So Hunkemöller NL 75E becomes Chantelle FR 90E. At de Bijenkorf or Hudson’s Bay NL where French brands are sold: if you see a band number like 90, 95, or 100 from a French brand, subtract 15 to find your NL EU equivalent.

Welke behamaat is het grootst beschikbaar in Nederland?

Hunkemöller’s Plus Cup range stocks through NL/EU I cup (= UK G cup) in bands NL 70–105. Triumph NL extends through H cup in selected styles. Marlies Dekkers typically stocks through F cup. For NL H cup and above (= UK FF and beyond), UK specialists like Bravissimo ship to the Netherlands and offer the widest selection — convert NL band to UK (NL 80 = UK 36) and drop one cup letter above D (NL H = UK FF).
