Size Guide

Measure yourself rather than relying on the size you usually wear — grading differs between brands, and ours is cut on a [5’8″ / 173 cm] fit model and graded across [nine] sizes.

How to measure

• Bust — around the fullest part, tape level and not pulled tight.
• Underbust — directly under the bust, tape snug. Used for bra sizing.
• Waist — at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
• Hip — around the fullest part, roughly [8 in / 20 cm] below the waist.

Measure over your underwear, not over clothes, and keep the tape parallel to the floor. If you are between two numbers, take the larger one and read the fit note on the product page.

[Replace every figure above with your own grading. These are a common US grade and will be wrong for your patterns.] To convert to centimetres, multiply by 2.54.

Bras — finding your size

Your band size is your underbust measurement rounded to the nearest even number. Your cup is the difference between your bust and your underbust: [1 in = A, 2 in = B, 3 in = C, 4 in = D, 5 in = DD/E, 6 in = DDD/F].

Underbust (in)	Band (US)	Band (UK)	Band (EU)
26–27	30	30	65
28–29	32	32	70
30–31	34	34	75
32–33	36	36	80
34–35	38	38	85
36–37	40	40	90

The band does the work, not the straps. If the band rides up at the back, go down a band size and up a cup. If the cup gapes at the top, go down a cup and keep the band.

Still unsure?

Email support@example.com with your measurements and the piece you are looking at, and we will recommend a size. Exchanges are [free within 30 days], so ordering two sizes and sending one back is a perfectly reasonable way to do this.
