Lingerie Size Guide
It’s so hard finding the right size lingerie nowadays that we’ve decided to list our own to help you or your partner ensure that you buy the right size lingerie first time, every time.
SIZE

| Small = 32-34 | A-B | 23 - 25 | 34 - 36 | 6 - 8 |
| Medium = 34-37 | B-C | 25.5 - 28 | 36 - 39 | 10 - 12 |

The next thing you need to know is her size. From the standard Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large (XL) to the Plus sizes ranging from 1X to 4X. These sizes are for the clothes sizes such as panties, sleepwear, garters, hosiery and fantasy wear.
Bra sizes are totally different.
If you are buying for someone else (such as wife or girlfriend) we suggest you look at the bras they already have. Disregard the ones that are worn out or stretched out of shape. Look at the ones that are in good shape. Jot down the size and go from there.
Ideally it is better to measure exact requirement before ordering a bra. When measuring for bras, you are measuring for width and cup size. Width is measured in inches and cups are in a letter size.
A leading bra manufacture suggests the following method to ascertain exact measurements: -
Put on your best fitting bra. Loop the tape measure under your armpits and above your breasts. The tape should be snug, but not tight. The resulting measurement is the size of your torso. Then, lower the tape measure so it reaches around the fullest part of your breasts. Subtract the size of your torso from this measurement and consult the table below to determine your cup size.
- A - up to 1″
- B - up to 2″
- C - up to 3″
- D - up to 4″
- DD - up to 5″
If the breasts in question are not your own please obtain full permission and cooperation of the owner. Failure to do so may result in an immediate visit to the nearest emergency room.
