Measuring properly

Finding the perfect size bra involves taking measurements of both your band size and cup size. To start, put on your most favorite bra that fits you the best, and avoid wearing a padded or push-up bra.

  • Band Measurement

    Starting from your rib cage, take a snug and level measurement directly under your bust and go around your entire body. Round to the nearest inch.

  • Bust Measurement

    Starting over the fullest part of your bust, take a loose measurement over the fullest part of your bust and go around your entire body. Round to the nearest inch.

  • Bra Size

    Subtract the band measurement from your bust measurement. Use that difference in inches to find your cup size. Your recommended bra size is your band size plus your cup size.

How to Care For Bras

It's important to remember that bras are delicate garments that require special attention to maintain their shape and support. Proper care not only extends the life of your bras but also ensures that they remain comfortable and effective.

Hand wash your bras, especially those that contain an underwire.

Air-dry after washing.

If you prefer to use a washing machine, select the delicate cycle and use a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
