Bra Size

To measure yourself for a bra correctly, there is no better way than trying a few different sizes, but to give you a starting point we have included a back band measurement table and some easy steps to figure out your cup size.

Remember... Band size + cup size = Bra size

Remember, being "measured" for a bra is not the same as being "fitted", tape measures can provide a rough guide but you will only ever really know if your bra fits you properly by trying it on and following our easy steps below. When carrying out the instructions, keep your current bra size in mind- this is very important, as your current bra size is the real starting point for the actions we are about to take!

Three simple steps to your perfect fit.

1 - Find your band size

This is the measurement of your body around the rib cage, just beneath your bust. Make sure the tape measure is level and is pulled tighter than you would wear your bra.

2 - Find your cup size

Depending on how badly fitting you think your bra was, we suggest that you now try on a bra in your new band-size, but go up in the cup by as many band-sizes as you have dropped.

So for example, if you were wearing a 38C, but now find you are a 34 band-size, we suggest that you try going up two cup sizes (because you went down by two band sizes) so try a 34DD. This will give you a sensible place to start ordering and trying out your bras.

This will take you to a new bra size, which is a similar fit in the cup to your old size. Of course, this may not be quite right for you, and we would like you to consider this as a starting point using the key points below for a "perfect fit".

3 - The perfect fit

• Wires at the front, in the middle of your chest, sit flat against your body. The underside of the wire sits flat and securely against your rib cage.
• Breast tissue encased completely by the wire. The wire should sit behind the breast tissue at your underarm.
• Cups fit with no bulging over, or gaping at the top.
• Straps should be adjusted in length to give support to the cup but should also be comfortable.
• Back-band should sit horizontally across your body in line with the wires at the front of your bra.
• Your back-band should be snug. You should not be able to pull it more than 2” from your back.

Sizing Conversion

When ordering online or through your catalog, all sizes will be in US sizes. Occasionally when you receive your item(s) in the mail you may find that some of the labels show UK sizes in the label. If this is the case and you would like to find your equivalent US size then refer to the sizing conversion chart below.

UK sizes are on the inside grid with US cup sizes and underband sizes on the outside. To find an equivalent UK bra size from an US bra size, find you US band size and cup size and where they meet is the UK size.

For example: If you wear a US 32D, your UK size would be a 32C.
