THE FITTING ROOM

Welcome to our fitting room where we hope to assist you with having the correct fit and also shape with your lingerie. Most people in fact anything as high as 80% of women wear the incorrect fitting bra.

The most important thing to remember is that the bra should be a snug fit. By this we mean that you should not be able to pull more than half an inch away from your body at the shoulder straps or rib band. If this is the case try adjusting the bra straps to be tighter and place the back of the bra on a tighter hook. If this does not solve your problem you need to go down a backsize.

Also the bra should fit flat against the ribcage between the cups. If this is not the case then the bra you are wearing needs a bigger cup. There should also be no bulging over the top or sides of the bra, even if you are wearing a balconette or plunge bra. Again, if this is the case a bigger cup size is necessary. We recommend that you place a t-shirt or lycra fitting top over your new bra to compare shape and style. This way it is easier to spot any bulging.

If at all possible, have an afternoon out at a highstreet store and try on as many different types and styles of bras as you can making a note of the sizes in each style that have a comfy fit. Not all manufacturers use the same sizing guide so if one size fits in one style and brand it may not be the case for another!

Measuring

Take a tape measure and measure under the bust with the tape horizontal across the back. Breath out until there's no air left in the lungs and take a comfortable measurement.

Then take the bust measurement so that the tape just touches across the nipples. The cup size is determined by the difference in inches between the two numbers .

Take your underband measurement, then read across to find your cup measurement, which is listed under the correct cup size.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY AS ALL BRA STYLES FIT DIFFERENTLY
