Sizing

Well, though you are not on this site confused about your cup size, there is actually a lot more to our sizing.  We could give the basics for bra size measurement but this is just a starting point.  The fit of products across our line is more varied than our size specific selection would indicate. Brand selection often helps with achieving a great fit as each brand tends to size their designs similarly - if a brand fits well, consider expanding your wardrobe with products from their product range.

When we consider new products for our inventory, we review the general sizing and design of each product to assure its appropriateness to our specific body type, as well as how it fulfills our wardrobe needs.  The A/AA cup bras we select are designed to fit perfectly over a variety of a-cup figures.  We are a diverse group.  Some of us can fill those rounded contour bras, while others of us wouldn't use the word 'fill' in considering bras...

Your feedback is very influential to our recommendations of each brand.  We'll include recommendations for brands and product fit in the item descriptions.  As trends develop in brand selection, we make note of different brands that fit similarly.

Basics for Bra Size Selection:

• If you have a favorite fitting bra or brand, consider what you like and don't like about the fit, then adjust for any fit issues and you'll be closer than a typical measured fitting.


• If you have previously been told your size, but now find that a different size fits better, just wear the size that fits! The fit is more important than the number on the tape measure.


• A well-fitted bra should provide support from the band, not the straps. You should be able to take off the straps and still feel supported by the bra.


• If you don't fill an A-cup, then you'll need an NA (nearly A) or AA cup. If you are fuller but not quite a B-cup, check our products recommended for fuller cup bras.


• You should be able to run your fingers around the inside of the band, but not much more. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit no more than a fist under the back of the bra.


• A new bra should be sized to fit with the first hook setting (loosest), allowing you to snug the fit as the bras elasticity declines.


• If the band is roomy enough for you to be able to comfortably fasten it on the tightest adjustment, try a smaller band.


• If you can only just fasten the bra and the band is painfully tight, even on the biggest adjustment, then go up a band size.


• Underwire bras should rest comfortably against your skin without pinching, poking, or protruding.


• The lower edge of the band should run parallel to the floor, and rest just below the shoulder blades.
