Size & Fitting

Drop what you think you know about your bra and cup size and dive into the size chart. In this lesson, Haley will walk you through selecting a size and adding or reducing fullness, if you need to. Remember, making a muslin is key to getting the best fit!

If you need any help selecting your size or making adjustments, be sure to share in the Community.
