| Corsets & Bustiers |
| Sizes are based on your bust measurement. Our leather pieces are a little more generous in girth. Larger cup sizes can be accommodated to a degree depending upon the piece. Some spillage is OK in this case. General sizing measurements: |

Determining your bra size
Most women do not wear the correct bra cup size. When a bra does not fit well, many
women will increase the band size, which is not always the solution. Here are guidelines
for determining size. Everyone is different and the fit may vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. There's a little bit of trial and error involved.
To measure, put on a regular bra (not a minimizer or push-up) that fits you the best; this gives you a reasonably good starting point.
Band Size: Measure directly below your bust. Make sure the measuring tape is straight, snug, and parallel to the floor. Round the measurement up to the next whole number. If that number is even, add four inches. If it is odd, add five inches.
Cup Size: Get some help here if you can. With your arms at your side, have a friend measure the fullest part of your bust. Make sure the tape is straight and parallel to the floor.
Subtract the band measurement from the cup measurement and use that number and the chart below to determine your cup size:
