BRA MEASUREMENT & FIT GUIDE
1. Measure Your Band
Wearing an unlined bra, take a measuring tape across your back and wrap it snugly around under your bust. Make sure the tape is level across your body.
If your measurement is an odd number, round up +1 inch, if it's an even number, that's your band size. For example, a 29" measurement would be a 30" band size; a 30" measurement would be a 30" band size.
2. Measure Your Bust
Standing straight, take the measuring tape around your back to the fullest part of your chest across the apex. The tape should feel comfortable around your chest, not too loose, not too tight. Round to the nearest whole number.
3. Calculate Your Bra Size
Take your Bust Measurement (step 2) minus your Band Measurement (step 1) . Generally, 1" represents a cup size (refer to the chart on the left).
For example, if your bust measurement is 34" minus your band measurement of 29" = 5". This 5" difference is a DD cup. Add your cup size to your band size (determined in step 1) = your bra size, 30DD.
4. Sister Sizing
If your bra doesn't feel comfortable, try "sister sizing."For every band size you go up, you should go down one cup size.
For example, if you are a size 30DD, your sister sizes are 28F and 32D. If your bra feels too tight, try sizing up to 32D. If your bra strap is riding up your back, this is a sign that your bra is too big, try sizing down to a 28F.
HOW YOUR BRA SHOULD FIT
-
BAND
❌ Rides Up – A band that rides up is a sign the band is too big.
❌ Back Bulge – If your skin is bulging over your band, your band is too small. -
BAND
✔️ Smooth & Flat – Your band should lay flat and straight againstyour back.
*This is extremely important for large chested women as the support and lift comes from the band (not from the strap). -
HOOK
✔️ Loosest Hook – Anewbra should be worn comfortably on the loosest hook. The band will stretch over time which is when you can move to an inner hook to tighten.
❌ Tightest Hook – If you have to wear it on the tightest hook right away, your band is too large. -
STRAP
✔️ Straps should lay snug against your shoulders and stay in place throughout the day.
❌ Slips Off – If your straps continue to slide down even after you tighten them, it may be time for a new bra.
❌ Digs In – Straps that dig in and leave marks on your shoulders indicate that your band size is too large. The straps are doing more support work than they are supposed to. Try a smaller band.

-
CUP
✔️ Cups should lay flush against your breast, providing lift and shape.
-
CUP
❌ Gape – Cups that gape when you bend over or lie down indicates that your cup size is too large.
❌ Wrinkle – Cups that wrinkle is also a sign that the cup is too big or may not be the right shape cup for your breasts. Try a smaller cup or a different style bra such as a demi cup. -
CUP
❌ Overflow – Cups that cut into your skin with spillage on top or sides mean the cup is too small. Go up a cup size.

I’m usually skeptical on bodysuits and have never found one I’ve actually liked. They’re either way too restrictive, have overly thick or thin fabric or just plain unflattering on me. But this bodysuit is literally perfect. It doesn’t ride up and I feel like I’m wearing nothing. It is so easy to dress up and down and I absolutely love that I can easily wear a bra without the straps being revealed. Living in Hawaii, it’s a perfect staple that’ll keep me cool and stylish. Thank you!!

A must have!
I’m a 36 G and always struggle to find tops that will work. I wish it had a little more coverage but it got like a dream!

Great fit
I think this is the first time I was able to wear an office shirt that actually fits!
It was delivered to Europe in just few days and the service was amazing.

Bra Size: 36E
Never had a t shirt fit me like this
I’m a 36E and this is such a flattering fit. It shows off my shape so well without being boxy or too tight. Usually I’ll size up and my waist is hidden and I look larger than I am, or I’m spilling out of it. Love these.

Bra Size: 30DDD
Cute but...
Its really cute and fits well. The fabric feels like its really good quality and fits my body really well. The only problem I have with this product is that the fabric is a bit see through around the cleavage area. The brand is made for women with big chests but I wonder if this is an issue with other sizes. It's only under certain lighting, so it's fine.

Love this top!
This top is so cute! I always avoid button down styles because they never fit properly over my bust, but this top is flattering and sexy, and I don’t have to keep checking if the buttons have popped open. Looks great with high-waisted bottoms!
Rachel Zip Up Sweatshirt
Elizabeth K
Soo comfortable & flattering!
I love my Rachel zip-up hoodie! Soft & flattering. Perfect for our trip to Carmel-by-the-sea ( temperature was in the low 60s) It’s more than what I usually spend for a hoodie, but this is a well-made ( & made in USA) hoodie sweatshirt. I know I will wear it a lot for chilly summer nights & later in the Fall season 😊 I’m 5’2, 114 lbs, 32DD, ordered size XS.

Flattering fit
Love this shirt. It’s going to be my go to. For me the shirt is a tiny bit short as I am above average height. But outside of that I love love this shirt. It hugs my boobs but doesn’t stretch out so it’s flattering. Extra bonus the sleeves aren’t tight on my armpits so less likely to pit out! Would love a version without the puff on the sleeve. Love the scallop feature but not the puff.
