Bra Sizing Help
What is my band size?
While standing, wrap the measuring tape right under your bust positioned right on the rib cage. It should adhere quite tightly and evenly distributed- meaning flat. Breathe normally… If your measurement is an odd number add 5 inches. If your measurement is an even number add 4 inches. For example: If you measure 29” add 5” = and voila! you need band width 34”.
Write it down…just in case
*If you do not have measuring tape use a string or a ribbon. Fold it evenly and use any smallish ruler you may find to calculate your score. Hey! Do not fret! Some math late at night will preserve more brain cells...and all those stairs you just took to find all the supplies, earned you an award…ice cream!
Am I: B, C or A?! CUP SIZE
Wrap the tape or previously established tool around your bust in the middle/ the fullest part/ loosely. Making sure that the tape is flat on you body and parallel to the floor. Subtract this number from your band size. Example: If your bust measures 37” and your band size measures 34”, that is a 3” difference so you are a size C cup.
This is the simplified method. You can look up your circumference in the table

You got A because now you know your sizing! Let’s go shopping!
Because all our inventory is made in Poland, it doesn’t mean they don’t have US sizing. Some articles do, and some don’t. To make it easier on you we are working to make this as easy as possible to find your size, but for time being, check our converter tables. If still not sure please contact us, we will try to answer all your questions.
BRA EXPERTS INSIGHTS INTO RIGHT FIT:
Bra style offers various uses, so it also fits differently. Even if it’s your band and cup size, it may not be the best to accommodate your body unique shape.
To make sure you’re wearing the most flattering bra, keep an eye for the following:
BRIDGE or mid bridge is the center front of the bra, and it should lie flat against your chest without a gap between the bra band and your chest.
BAND Test is for fit. Try lifting your arms up and down, band should stay in place. It should be level all the way around your back. If it’s sliding up, it is either too large or needs adjusting.
UNDERWIRE Your underwire should lie flat against your ribcage. You shouldn’t feel any digging or discomfort.
COZY Your breasts should feel comfy inside the cups. You shouldn’t see any spilling out of the top, sides or bottom. If it is too much spilling, try one cup bigger.
WRINKLE-FREE If the cups are wrinkling or puckering, try going down a cup size.
Please note that the band size may be the same, but cup size may shift for many reasons (occasional this time of the month, hormones, water retention etc.). Also try finding your circumference in the table to see which closest size is yours
