Corsets and Bustiers
Styles that come in sizes 38 - 50 correspond to the bust measurement. If you are a 40C or D cup, you would order a size 40 bustier. If you are a D or DD cup we suggest going up one size. For example a size 40DD would go up one size to a size 42. For styles that come in 1x - 6x refer to the chart below.
Measuring
Bra Sizes - Bra sizing is made up of two components. - the band size (38, 40, 42, 44, etc.) and the cup size (C, D, DD, DDD, etc.)
When measuring, wear your best fitting, unpadded, most comfortable bra. This will position the bust correctly. Do not wear a minimizer or sports bra.
Band Size - Standing sideways in front of a mirror, measure under the arms just beneath the breasts (1st measurement ). Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor. If it is an odd number add an inch. That is your band size.
Cup Size - For cup size (2nd measurement) measure around the fullest part of bust. Refer to the table below to determine cup size based on the difference between the two measurements.
For example: If the 1st measurement is 39 inches, you would add an inch, for 40 inches. If the fullest part of the bust measures 43 inches, the difference is 3 inches (from the original measurement), and according to the chart below the bra size is 40C.
