Fit and care
Measure, check the fit, care for your corset bra.
Start with your measurements, use the chart where it applies, and check how the bra sits with your gown. Contact us when the chart does not answer your question.
Know the chart's limits
The measurement chart does not cover every size. For F cups or an out-of-chart result, use the manual-size option in Fit Finder or contact us.
How to Measure
To find your best fit, you will need two measurements: your underbust and your full bust.
Underbust
Measure directly underneath your bust, all the way around your rib cage, keeping the tape snug and level. This is your band size on the first chart.
Full bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level all the way around. Find that measurement on the second chart to see the available sizes, then pick the option that matches your band size. Some measurements have only one option.
For the most accurate fit, measure while wearing a thin, unpadded bra or no bra at all.
No measuring tape? Use a piece of non-stretchy ribbon, then hold it against a ruler or a standard tape measure to find your measurement.

Sizing
Our longline bustier runs in standard band and cup sizes from 32A through 52F. The band should sit level around your ribcage, snug on the loosest hook with room for one finger underneath. Cups should fully contain tissue without spill or gaping. Extenders in white, ivory, and nude add flexibility when you are between band sizes or need a little more room on alterations day.
Care
Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid bleach, wringing, and machine drying to protect boning and fabrics. Store flat or lightly folded so the longline keeps its shape between fittings and your event.
