Helpful Tips When Buying Lingerie:

Babydolls :

These are fairly loose-fitting pieces so don't panic too much whether you are a size 34 or 36. If it has adjustable straps the babydoll lingerie can always be adjusted to fit your bust.

Bodystocking Lingerie:
These risqué pieces don't offer much support in the cup size area, so regardless of your breast size concentrate more on your standard waist and hip measurements. These erotic pieces usually have quite a lot of give and stretch to accommodate your chest region.

Corsets :
These sexy pieces are designed to be very fitted so as to enhance the waist and accentuate the bust.
Our corset lingerie is designed for the following dress sizes small 32, medium

34 and large 36.
Keep in mind most corsets do have a lace up detail that will allow you to adjust the size to your body.

Bustiers :
This style of lingerie is similar to a corset but without the intensely fitted waist. With bustier lingerie it is important to note the cup size more than the waist measurements.

Cup Size Measurements :

Not sure what you’re packing these days? Please take a moment to measure yourself so we can send you the sexiest fitting size possible. REMEMBER TO MEASURE IN INCHES!!!

  • Place the tape measure around you, just under your breasts keeping your arms down by your sides. Make sure the tape measure stays completely horizontal to the floor.
  • Check the measurement and round up to the nearest even number. So if your bust is 33 1/2 inches, round up to 34 inches.
  • Place the tape measure loosely around your bac k and across your nipples. Take note of the measurement.
  • Figure out your cup size by comparing the two measurements.
  • Bra measurements

    If The Difference Is:                Your Standard Cup Size Is:

    0"-1/2" (1.3 cm)                                  AA

    1/2"- 1" (2.6 cm)                                 A

    2" (5.1 cm)                                          B

    3" (7.6 cm)                                          C

    4" (10.2 cm)                                        D

    5" (12.7 cm)                                        DD or E

    6" (15.2 cm)                                        DDD or F
