UK Sizing: Double or Nothing?
So I've seen it both ways: DD, E, F, G, H and also DD, E, F, FF, G, GG. Which is it? Does it depend on the brand?

US sizing, and I think European use single letters past DD, and UK uses all the double letters and skips I because it looks too much like a L, so it's H HH J JJ.
YES depends on the brand. There is no "UK sizing" each brand has its own version. Just happens that the most popular brands have kind or agreed on UK.
Just like there is no universal US sizing, there is no standard UK sizing, there is no standard EU sizing. That's what I always bring up :P
I recommend to always check what each brand does for sizing, we have up to date tables here for each brand and their conversions.
From what I can see, it is very difficult to walk away from that expectation, it does makes things much more difficult but that's how things are. That's why we made Index sizing to have something that can be used to translate cups between brands.
But yes, there is no UK sizing.
Alexis Smith is a UK brand and they don't do FF cups http://www.bratabase.com/browse/alexis-smith/size-range/ http://www.alexissmith.eu/pages/our-size-chart if you browse their bras they will have FF cups, but not on their size conversion? I remember asking them about this on Twitter and they didn't have anything useful to say.
In their US version, they do DDD and then F cups, other brands do DDD and then G cup or DDD and then E cup.
Always use Index sizes.
