Size Guide

Find the size that will provide you with exceptional support, a precise fit, and lasting comfort.

How to take your measurements

1

Measure your underbust

Place the tape measure around your torso, directly under your bust. Check that it remains perfectly horizontal across your back, snug against your body without being too tight.

2

Measure your cup size

Wearing a comfortable bra, measure horizontally across the cup, from one wire to the other, passing over the fullest part of the breast without flattening it.

Tip: Stand up straight and breathe normally while taking your measurements. Empreinte bras generally start at a C cup.

Choosing by product type

Full-coverage bras

Choose your usual back size and a cup that fully encloses the breast without overflowing.

Balconette bras

The cut reveals more of the upper chest. The cup should support without cutting into or compressing the breast.

Molded bras

The shell should conform to the entire breast without any gaps, folds, or overflow.

Non-wired bras

The back band should remain horizontal and stay in place while offering a comfortable feel.

Swimwear

For optimal support, choose the top according to your bra size and the bottom according to your hip measurement.

Panties and shapewear

Choose the size corresponding to the fullest part of your hips; do not size down to increase the sculpting effect.

How to recognize a good fit

The back band

It remains horizontal, stable, and comfortable. It should not ride up your back or dig into your skin.

The cups

The breasts should be completely enclosed, with no overflow, gaps, or folds in the cup.

The straps

They should remain comfortable without slipping or leaving deep marks on your shoulders.

The center gore and wires

The center gore should sit against your sternum, and the wires should surround the breast without pressing into the breast tissue.
