Sizing:

Bra: Band sizes 26 - 44 and cup sizes A/B, C/D, E/F and G/H for each band size. Please check the designer’s size chart.

To determine band size, measure around your ribcage, also called your underbust. Be sure to keep the tape measure snug and level all the way around.

To determine cup size, measure around the fullest part of your bust. You can wear no bra, a sports bra or a lightly lined bra while measuring. Again, keep the tape measure level and snug all the way around. Subtract your underbust measurement from your full bust measurement, and then refer to the size chart.

Panty: XS – 4X (approx. UK 6 – 26, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart.
