We’ve put 90 years of expertise into creating these essential bra, brief and shapewear guides, so you’ll always find your perfect fit. Check out our sizing chart here.
CHOOSING YOUR BRA
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
FLEXIFIT
Our customers asked for panties that didn’t move around or ride up when they sat down. FlexfitTIM is available across
BRAS, PANTIES, TANK TOPS AND CAMIS
1. UNDERBAND Is it horizontal across your back? The underband should be snug, with enough room
to fit two fingers underneath
2. WIRES Front wires should sit flat at the breastbone between your breasts
3. CUPS Your breasts should be fully enveloped in each cup, and there should be a smooth line
where the cup ends
4. STRAPS should feel snug but not tight. If you loosen them, the bra should stay in the same
place, since most of the support comes from the underband
KNOW YOUR BRA SIZE
DOES YOUR BRA REALLY FIT?
CUPS NOT GREAT?
Go up a cup size if:
Your breasts are spilling out of the cups at the front or under your arms
Go down a cup size if:
The cups are wrinkling or gaping
STRAPS NOT RIGHT?
Loosen the straps if:
They’re digging into your shoulders
They feel tight and make the cups dig into your breasts
Tighten them if:
They’re slipping off your shoulders
If you have narrow shoulders:
Avoid balcony bras as they have wide-set straps
UNDERBAND BOTHERING YOU?
Go up a back size if:
The breast tissue under your arms is bulging over the underband
Go down a back size if:
Your breasts are visible beneath the underband
The underband is riding up your back
WHAT ABOUT THE WIRES?
Go up a back size if:
The wires are digging into your breast tissue or lifting away from your breastbone
Using a measuring tape, measure around the rib cage directly under the bust. The tape should be held tight, edge to edge with no space between it and your body.
2. OVERBUST
Measure completely around the bust at the fullest point. Hold the tape tight against the back but not too tight in the front.
