Measuring Your Size

Bra sizing features two measurements, the letter representing the cup size and the number representing the band size.
  1. Without wearing a bra. Measure firmly across the fullest part of your bust without cutting into the breast tissue, this is the measurement for your cup size.
  2. Measure directly below your bust, firm against your body, this is your band size.
  3. Use the charts below, or our guide here to transfer these measurements into a size. If in between sizes or unsure, utilise the below info to navigate your best fit.

Sister Sizing

“Sister sizing” is a term used to describe the same cup sizes (letter) when the band size (number) changes. Usually calculating your “sister size” is helpful when solving common bra fit issues, such as changing band size (number).

Sister sizes have the same cup size as each other, although represented by a different letter depending on the band size.

  1. 1 SISTER SIZE DOWN = one band size smaller than your current band and one letter larger than your current cup ie. 34C = 32D

    As your band size gets smaller, your cup size gets bigger.

  2. 1 SISTER SIZE UP = one actual band size larger than your current band size and one letter smaller than your current cup ie. 34C = 36B

    As your band size gets larger your cup size gets smaller

Horizontally this chart represents bras with the same cup size as the band size changes, although the letter differs the cup size is the same.

Start with your usual size:

Move left to see your sister size down – this is helpful if your cup feels good but your band is too loose.

Move right to see your sister size up – this is helpful if your cup feels good but your band is too tight.
