Size Guide

Find the size that will offer you the best balance of elegance, support, and comfort.

How to take your measurements

1

Measure your underbust

Place the tape directly under the breasts. Keep it horizontal, snug against the body, without pulling it too tight.

2

Measure your bust

Place the tape over the fullest part of the bust, usually at the level of the nipples, without compressing the breasts.

3

Measure your waist

Place the tape horizontally around the narrowest part of your waist, without sucking in your stomach.

4

Measure your hips

Place the tape horizontally around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.

Rosa Faia Tip: take your measurements while wearing a well-fitting bra, preferably without underwire. Measurements serve as a starting point; trying the item on remains essential as the fit can vary by model.

Bras — band size equivalents

Canadian and American sizes appear in the first row. The sizes actually offered vary by model.

Canada / USA 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50
France 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 130

Sister sizes: if the band is too tight, go up one band size and reduce the cup size by one. For example, sizes 34E, 36D, and 38C have a comparable cup volume.

Panties, shapewear, and swimsuit bottoms

Measure your waist and hips. If the two measurements fall into different sizes, choose the larger one. Values in centimeters are rounded conversions.

Choosing by product type

Underwire bras

Choose based on your underbust and bust measurements. The wires should surround the breasts completely without applying pressure.

Non-wired bras

Start with your usual size. The band should provide stable support while remaining comfortable.

Molded and spacer bras

The cup should fit the breast naturally without gaps, wrinkling, or compression.

Plus-size bras

Check the band support, side coverage, and full encirclement of the bust.

Panties and shapewear

Use your waist and hip measurements. Do not choose a smaller size to get more compression.

Bodysuits

For a bodysuit with cups, start with your bra size, then check your waist and hip measurements.

Swimsuit tops

For models offered by cup size, use your usual bra size.

One-piece swimsuits

Use your bust, waist, and hip measurements. Prioritize the larger measurement if you are between two sizes.

How to recognize a good fit

The band

It should remain horizontal and in place, without riding up your back or digging into the skin.

The cups

The breasts should be entirely enclosed, without spilling over, wrinkling, or having empty space.

The straps

They should stay comfortable and in place, without slipping or leaving deep marks.

The center gore and wires

The center gore should rest comfortably against the sternum. The wires should surround the breasts without pressing into them.
