LINGERIE SIZING, FIND YOUR BRA SIZE

STEP 1

Measure your band size. While measuring keep the measurement tape horizontal, wrap it around ribcage just below your bust line and make sure it is snug. This measure is your band size.

PLEASE NOTE when measuring in inches you need to add 5". If this calculation results in an odd number, round up to the next even number. This is the band size. Example: 29" under bust size + 5" = 34" band size.

STEP 2

Measure your bust size. While measuring keep the measurement tape horizontal, measure around the fullest bart of your bust and again make sure the tape is snug.

PLEASE NOTE when measuring in inches you need to add 5". If this calculation results in an odd number, round up to the next even number. This is the cup size. Example: 31" bust size + 5" = 36" cup size.

HOT TIPS ABOUT BAND SIZE

If your back band is riding up you might want to try a smaller band size.

If your straps are digging in you might also go down a band size so the straps do not do all the work or you might just need to loosen your straps.

 
HOT TIPS ABOUT CUP SIZE

The centre front of the bra should lie flat against the body. If it does not it might be that your cup size is to small causing the breasts to push the bra out. The underwire should encase your breast entirely.

If the wire is digging into the breast tissue under arm you might need to go up a cup size. Alternatively you might simply need to "pull" the breast in with our hands.
