For example
A bride has a ribcage measuring 34" and a bust size of 40.3". The first step in the table would result in an order size of 38. The bust size of 40.3" translates into a C cup. The right lingerie size for this bride would therefore be 38C.

If your falls outside the standard bra sizes that are available, then using either individual fastners or push-up cups, a correctly sized bra can be found.

The cup size is good, but the ribcage size is not. What now?

• In this case, use a different girth size but the same cup size. Important to know if the girth becomes larger/smaller, the cup also becomes larger/smaller. The table below indicates which girth sizes have the same cup size. For example, the following sizes have the same cup size: 36A = 34B = 32C.

  For example: You try on a size 38C torselette. The cup size is good, but the girth is too small. For this, try a 40B (not a 40C!). After all, a 40B has the same cup as an 38C and only has a larger girth.

The ribcage size is good, but the cup size is not. What now?

• First check to make sure the torselette is pulled downwards enough at the back so that the cups fit properly on the front.
  
  
• The cup must fit closely around the bottom of the bust (ribcage). If there are folds on the top or side of the cups, the cup is too large. Use a smaller cup size with the same ribcage size (For example: 32C = 32B).
  
  
• If the breasts hang too low in the cups and do not fit properly into the top of the torselette, the cup is too large. Use a smaller cup size or individual push-up cups. There are several different push-ups available, from push-ups that can be sewn into the lingerie to transparent silicon pushups.
  
  
• If the breast is pushed outwards on the side and/or top of the cup, the cup is too small. Use a larger cup size with the same ribcage size (For example: 36B = 36C).
  
  
• If the underwire supports are too far from the body and/or pressed under the arms, the cups are too small. Use a larger cup size with the same ribcage size.

The lingerie size does not exist. What now?

If your size falls outside of this range or that a particular item is not available in the size needed, here are some possible solutions:

• Individual fasteners (hook and eye strap) are available that increase the girth (ribcage) as an insert.
  For example: 44A = 42B + hook and eye strap.
  
  
• Use the table above to determine an alternative size.
  For example, use an 38DD/E for 36F.
  
  
• Use push-up cups if the girth is large, but the cup size is small.
  For example: 40A = 40B + push-up cup.
