Lingerie Fitting Guide
Importance of fit
Did you know that 70% of women in the UK 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 straight away with our no-quibble
returns guarantee. Fitting a bra yourself is easy. Click
here for our interactive bra measuring guide.
Bra finders
Figleaves has developed a revolutionary bra finder
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
colour, 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.

| Sizing issues with different countries |
| Cup grading across brands from
different countries needs a little clarification.
The basic rule is that French bras do
not come in a DD cup. So sometimes a French
E fits like a DD and a French F fits like an
E. French brands include: Aubade, Chantelle,
First by Perele, Lejaby, Passionata and Simone
Perele.
On the other hand American brands are
sometimes available in DDD cup. This is usually
the biggest available cup in the range and fits
like an E cup. American brands include Wacoal. |
