Bra Sizing Guide
What size are you?
We recommend that you use the measuring charts shown here to
obtain a good fit. It's best to take actual body measurements
rather than measuring over clothes or taking sizes from existing
garments
Types of Bra:
◊ Full Support Bras
Full support bras are a type of bra that usually has an
underwire or plastic boning holding them up They can be worn by
women of any breast size, and are specially suited for those
with larger cup sizes These bras offer a shapely cut and are
built more like bikini tops than underwear These also come in
padded or unpadded version and are flattering on any figure
type
◊
Push Up Bras
Push-up bras, once called padded bras, are a type of bra that
lifts the breasts and add shape to them with extra padding, the
most well known of which is the Wonderbra Some more innovative
push-up bras use silicone inserts or water sacks to imitate the
fullness of natural breasts They are said to "lift and
separate", creating a full cleavage look on breasts of all
sizes These bras always offer lots of support
◊
Shelf
Bras
Shelf bras are designed with cups that lift and support the
breasts, but the cups come just under the nipples, putting the
breasts and nipples on display
◊ Strapless Bras
Strapless bras, with no shoulder straps are designed for wearing
with clothes that reveal the shoulders, such as halterneck tops
