Written by Lindsey Brown, who has over twenty years' experience in the lingerie industry, holds a Master's research degree in design specialising in contour design, and is the founder of The Bra Fitting Course. This digital download is designed to keep as a reference tool and to help you build stronger product and sizing knowledge.

Bra sizing can become confusing when you work across different brands, countries and sizing systems. This guide explains the relationship between band size, cup size and cup volume, and shows how related sizes sit within a cross-grading system. Never guess what a 36DD is in European or French sizing again.

It also makes an important point: cross-graded sizes are related sizes, but they will not necessarily fit identically, because construction, wire width, cup shape, fabric and individual brand grading all affect the finished fit.

Inside the guide you'll find:

• 28-page PDF file with 25 pages of content.
• A clear explanation of bra sizing, cup size and cup volume
• Sister sizing and professional cross-grading principles
• The difference between cross-grading and simply changing cup size
• How far to cross-grade in practice
• UK cup progression, including double-letter sizing
• UK, European, USA, French and Australian size comparisons
• Worked examples and a self-test with answers
• Customer scripts for explaining sister sizes
• Professional bra sizing terminology
• UK, USA and European sister size cross-grading charts
• Complete comparison charts for every UK size from A to K across bands 28 to 50
• A printable Brand Comparison Worksheet
• A quick-reference sheet to print and keep at the till

The guide also reminds professionals that sizing is not completely standardised between countries or manufacturers, so individual brand size charts should always be checked.

Ideal for:

Bra fitters, lingerie boutique owners, mobile bra fitters, retail teams, fashion stylists and lingerie design students. The guide is also useful for industry professionals who want a practical sizing reference they can return to again and again.

Please note:

This is a professional sizing and cross-grading reference guide, not a step-by-step bra fitting guide. It does not teach the tape-measure method of calculating a bra size by measuring. It does not teach Lindsey Brown's non-tape-measure bra fitting technique, which is taught separately through The Bra Fitting Course.
