How do bra sizes work?

Question:

Why don't bra sizes go up conventionally?

Ella, Kentish Town

Name: Rachel, Glasgow

Answer: Official bra classifications started in 1948, in just four sizes; A, B, C and D. Later more were introduced to accommodate a wider variety of sizes, hence why there is AA and DD etc.
