Sizing Help - Bras and Corsetry


To ensure a perfect fit it is important to purchase the right-sized garments. The chart on this page shows metric and imperial measurements and how you can convert either to ensure you order the correct size code. Our clothing comes in a size range of 12-34. As a guide to what size to order, if you normally buy size 20 in the high street then order size 20 from us.
NIGHTWEAR One of the symbols below will appear on all the pages which feature nightwear. The green symbol indicates that the garment conforms to British standard 5722 for low flammability, while the red symbol is a reminder that the garment must not be exposed to naked flame or fire.

BRA SIZE
It's important to check your bra size every time you buy a new bra by following our simple measuring guide. Two measurements are needed and should be taken whilst wearing your most comfortable bra.
YOUR BRA SIZE Measure around your body directly under your bust. If the measurement is an even number, add 4 inches (10cm) -- if it's an odd number add 5 inches (12.5cm). For example: 30in (76cm) plus 4in (10cm) = 34in (86cm) -- your correct bra size. 31in (78.5cm) plus 5in (12.5cm) = 36in (91cm) -- your correct bra size.
YOUR CUP SIZE Measure the fullest part of your bust. The difference in inches between this measurement and your bra size is your cup size. See table below for details.

TIPS FOR A BETTER, MORE COMFORTABLE FIT
Before trying on a bra, lengthen the straps and push underwires (if any) around to the centre front of the bra. Fasten on the loosest setting and then adjust the shoulder straps and back of the bra if necessary. Lean forward and allow your bust to fall into the cups.
