Fitting & measuring tips
Bra fitting tips
- Always refer to our size chart before buying for accurate sizing.
- Measure, measure, measure. Take the guesswork out of bra shopping with a simple tape measure.
- Mind the size differences between brands and international variations; your usual size might not align.
- Our bodies change all the time, so never assume your bra size stays the same.
- Expect trial and error. Even with the size chart, every body is unique.
Measuring tips
- Measure over a thin, unpadded bra for accuracy.
- Ensure the tape stays in place for a precise measurement.
- Don't forget to measure again for the best fit.
- Bust: slightly bend forward and measure around the fullest part, level with the ground.
- Band: slightly bend forward and wrap the tape snugly under the breasts. If between sizes, choose the snugger or looser fit to taste.
What if your first bra doesn't fit?
The cup fits right, but the band is too tight or loose
Size up or down with sister sizes: if a 36D band is tight, try 38C; if it's loose, try 34DD. Go up one cup when you go down a band (and vice versa) to keep the same cup volume.
The band fits right but the cup is too big or small
Keep the band size and go up or down one cup size. Aim for a band that fits on the middle or loosest hook.
Both the cup and band fit too big or small
Adjust both band and cup: if a 36D is overall too large, try 34D; if it's overall too small, try 38DD. Remember sister sizing: a DD cup in a 38 is larger than a DD cup in a 36.
My bra is in clothing size 8 to 18
If your band fits perfectly but the cup is too small, size up or explore our comfort bra collection with sizes up to G cups. If it's overall too small or large, simply go one size up or down.
