Glamorous Luxury Bra By Empreinte

Start this Spring with a new look …. it’s amazing what a difference a really well-fitting bra can make. We’ve taken the hard work out of finding the right bra – and the right fit. Our design team have been busy cherry picking the best of the world’s lingerie brands for our new lingerie catalogue, and we’re really pleased with the bras we’ve selected for our latest catalogue. We have great fun each season, exploring current styles and whittling it down to just a handful of favourites from each brand.

MAKE SURE YOUR BRA IS A PERFECT FIT IN 2 EASY STEPS

Please wear a bra when taking measurements.

1: FIND YOUR BRA SIZE
Measure in inches directly under the bust. The tape should be tight around your body and level across your back.
If the number is even add 4". If the number is odd add 5". This is your bra size.

2: FIND YOUR CUP SIZE
Gently measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape is level across your back. The difference between your bra size and your full bust measurement is your cup size

  • 1" more = B Cup
  • 2" more = C Cup
  • 3" more = D Cup
  • 4" more = DD Cup
  • 5" more = E Cup
  • 6" more = F Cup
  • 7" more = FF Cup
  • 8" more = G Cup
  • For example: A 36C Cup would be calculated as follows: 1. Underbust is 31" plus 5" = 36 Bra Size 2. Overbust measurement is 38" (so 2" difference) = C Cup Your correct bra size is 36C.

    And if you’re not sure about anything, just give our customer services team a call – we’re always happy to help.
