For this you need to understand sister sizes, which means a bra size whose cups hold the same volume as another bra size.

For example, the sister sizes of the bra size 30D are:

26DDD [US] or 26E [UK]

28DD

32C

34B

36A

38AA

All of those bra sizes hold the same amount of breast tissue, but the size of the band and the width and projection of the cups changes. Someone who wears a 34B has a wider ribcage and shallow, spread-out breasts compared to someone who wears a 26E, who has a smaller ribcage and narrow, projected breasts.

There are two graphics that show the relation of sister sizes. In each graphic, all the bra sizes that are in the same color row all hold the same amount of breast tissue.

In the UK graphic, the smallest bra sizes by volume is 28AA and 26A, while the largest sizes by volume are 50FF, 48G, 46GG, 44H, 42HH, 40J, 38JJ, and 36K.

Currently, the largest cup size made in the UK system is LL, so the largest by volume would also include sizes 34KK, 32L, and 30LL.

In the US graphic, the smallest bra sizes by volume are also 28AA and 26A (as well as 24B, which is not currently made), and the largest sizes by volume are 52DDD/E/F, 50DDDD/F/G, 48G/H/J, 46I/J/K, 44J, 42K, 40L, 38M, 36N.

The largest cup letter currently made in the US is N, which is equal to a UK JJ cup. Brands that follow the UK sizing system, and make cups K, KK, L, and LL, therefore make more larger cups than the US, and may be suitable for women who outsize the US brand's N cups

It is also worth noting that a couple of United States brands have adopted the UK lettering system as it makes much more sense. One such company is "Affinitas" and it's "Parfait by Affinitas" line. The smallest band commercially made is 28. You can also have 26 and 24 inch bands made by companies such as Ewa Michalak, or you can make them yourself. As more people start to realize that a large number of women need bands under 30", we will see more and more 28s, 26s, and 24s.
