Finding the Right Sized
Bra |
Importance of fit
Did you know that 70% of women wear the wrong size bra? We all know
that the most important feature of any bra is the fit, and yet many
women go through life wearing the wrong back size, wrong cup size,
or both. We also know that many products size differently so that
you might be a 34D in one brand and a 36C in another.
At Figleaves, we stock such a large range of styles and sizes that,
whatever your size, there’s something for you. But before you order,
go through our sizing guide to make sure that you’re ordering the
right size, and if the bra doesn’t fit perfectly when you receive
it, we’ll exchange it for another size, or give you a full refund.

Measuring yourself
Follow our guide for self-measuring and we'll have you fitted out in
no time. And if you still don't like the fit, we'll refund you with
our easy returns guarantee. Fitting a
bra yourself is easy, we
recommend wearing an unpadded bra while measuring yourself to
increase the accuracy of your results.

Bra Sizing Checklist
Follow our checklist below to ensure your bra fits properly:
|
1. |
Bra
needs to feel fairly tight and firm on the loosest hook when
it is new, bras stretch up to 4" in the back with wear. |
|
2. |
Center
section inbetween cups must be flat on the body.
|
|
3. |
Breasts
should not spill out or bulge from the cups on any bra, even
soft cup ones. |
|
4. |
After
prolonged wear the bra should not leave any deep marks or
lines on the body. |
|
5. |
Most
important of all, on an underwire bra, the wire should rest
on your rib cage and not on the breast tissue, this is so
the area directly under the wire is hard bone and not soft
breast tissue, even at the sides. |
|
Labeling
From time to time you may notice that our products may read 34A
(label 1) or 34A (lbl 1), this is because we sell products from all
over the world to countries with different sizing conventions.
34A represents what Figleaves believe the standard bra size for the
product is. Label 1 or Lbl 1 (when we don’t have space!) is the size
that you will actually see on the label of the bra. We’ve included
both so that you won’t be surprised when the product arrives.
|
Bra Search
Figleaves has developed a revolutionary bra search that will help
you find the right sized bra. Simply enter your "standard" bra size
(as described above) with any other features you are looking for
(including color, style, price etc.) and we will suggest the
products we sell which match your criteria.
Where we think a product sizes differently, or is labelled in a
non-traditional size (e.g., many Italian ranges are sized S/M/L), we
will recommend the size we think will fit you best.
