How do I determine my bra size?
|
|
1. Overbust - Measure the full part of your bust (see below left).
2. Underbust - Measure your bust in inches to determine your back size, eg. 32,
34, 36
or 38 i.e. The back measurement of your bra (see below right).
|
|
|
|
Now look up your measurements to determine
your correct bra size below:
|
|
|
|
Any problems with fitting a bra can easily be solved by changing either the
back measurement or the cup size, or both. Many women wear bras with the
back too loose and the cup too small. In general, we suggest that if in doubt,
you take a cup larger than you would normally. At Silkies we do everything
possible to ensure consistent sizing, however, please note that size and fit
will vary slightly between underwear styles and fabrics.
The four most common problems with fitting a
bra and how to resolve them:
1. If the breasts are bulging over the bra - go up a cup size.
2. If the bra rides up at the back - go down a back measurement .
3. If the straps are digging into your shoulders (the straps are having to do
all the work because although the cup might fit, the back is not tight enough)
- go down a back measurement and up a cup size (this will give you a
tighter fit around the body, with the same cup size as previously).
4. If the front of the bra does not sit flat against your chest - go down a
back measurement and you may need to go up a cup size.
We are always expanding our product range in terms of sizes as well as styles.

How do I determine my garment size?
|
|
First take your measurements, keeping
the measuring tape comfortably snug, but not tight
Bust - Measure under the arms, around the fullest part of the chest.
Waist - Measure around the natural waistline.
Hips - Measure around the fullest part of the body, usually at the top of the
legs, about 7-9" below the natural waistline.
