2. Take a measurement of your tape and ensure it is straight and firm around your body. . This is your underbust measurement.
3. Measure your overbust by placing the tape measure in the middle of your breasts.
4. Make sure that your tape measure is not too tight. Next, place it parallel to the floor and record your overbust measurement.

It’s easy! This size guide will help you determine your bra size.

Bralette & Wire-free

Bras without wires can provide support for women who don’t need it. Bralettes are more than just for intimate wear. Many women use bralettes to make outerwear, giving them more value. Bralettes that are wire-free allow you to embrace your natural body shape and provide comfort as a WFH companion. More information about wire-free bras is available here. We have the answer!

T-Shirt Bras

This bra style looks great under t-shirts, or any tops. T-shirt bras are made with moulded cups with a soft layer on the outside to give a naturally rounded shape. They also provide a smooth profile beneath your t-shirt, so you don’t notice your bra.

Balconette Bras

Balconette bras have been a staple in women’s lingerie drawers since the 1950s. They have remained fashionable and in line with current fashion trends, while still providing support and comfort to breasts around the globe. All breast types can wear balconette bras. The style is distinguished by its horizontally-cut cups and wide-set straps, which create a natural lift. Balconette bras provide less coverage than larger cup styles. This makes them a great choice for low-cut tops or dresses. This versatile style is still not for you? Check out our guide, “What is a Balconette Bra?” This is why you should have one.

D-G Bras & Plus Size Bras

When breast implant surgery skyrocketed, many lingerie brands prioritized designing for D+ women in the mid-2000s. NEWS FLASH: Big boobs are as old as women. This is why we have been designing D+ bras from the beginning of our journey in lingerie.

Simply put, larger breasts need more support. D+ bras have different features, such as inner cup side and back slings, power mesh back wings, additional hook-and eye closures.
