Fun fact, the alphabetic bra sizing system (e.g. 32E, 32F, etc.) that we use today was created in the 1930s.
There haven't been any major updates to it since then. So, although we'd recommend having an idea of what bra size you are, it can often mean you are different sizes in different brands.
This is why it is essential to know the 5 things to look out for when checking bra fit.
Step 1: Your band size
Making sure that you are looking at the inches side of your tape measure. Loop it around your ribcage directly under where your boobs are (where your underwiring would sit in a regular bra).
The tape measure should be level all of the way around. With the start of the tape measure sitting just below your sternum.
The number displayed is your band size.
Bra sizing is done in even numbers (don't ask us why). So, if you are between sizes then we would recommend adding 1 inch to the measurement when you note it down on your piece of paper.
Step 2: Your cup size
Next move the tape measure up to around your ribcage at the fullest part of your bust (roughly about where your nipples are).
Make sure that it is just resting on your chest and level all of the way around. There shouldn't be any of it that is cutting into you.
Again, looking at the inches side. Take a note of the number, we'll need it to work out your cup size using the table below.
Step 3: Calculating your bra size
Now that you've got both our underbust and cup measurements, subtract your underbust number from your cup number - this value will help you work out your cup size using the universal sizing table to the right.
So, for example if your underbust measurement is 32 inches and your cup measurement is 41 inches. 41 - 32 = 9in, so you are a 32G.
Our limitless bras run true to size, however some people can feel that the underband runs a little large. So if you are between sizes, we'd suggest going with a smaller underband size.
Fearless bra sizing
Our fearless bra offers a medium impact fit so runs slightly larger, if you would prefer a more compressive fit then we would suggest sizing down in the cup size and the underband.
T-shirt sizing
Our cropped t-shirts are a more relaxed fit. If you would prefer a tighter fit, we suggest ordering the size down.
