When it comes to bras, base your measurements on a well-fitting bra, preferably one without underwires.
The measured size serves as a guideline. The actual size for the best comfort of each customer can only be determined by trying the item on!

Underbust measurement
Take the measurement by holding the tape directly under the bust (1).
This measurement determines the bra size.
Bust measurement
Place the tape directly over the widest point of the breast without digging in.
Use the chart to find out the cup size
Pants size
To work out the pants size, measure the waist (3) by holding the tape horizontally around the smallest part of the waist.
Measure the hips (4) by holding the tape horizontally around the widest part of the hips.
If there is a considerable difference between the waist and hip measurement, always take the larger size.

Hi
was initially thrilled by how comfortable the bralette was to wear, however after the first hand wash the inserts have shrunk so am now extremely disappointed especially as the bra is not cheap
Review by Mary moo Posted on
Dear Mary moo, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you initially found the bralette so comfortable. At the same time, we’re very sorry that the inserts have shrunk after washing – this is of course not our quality standard. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will gladly pass it on to our research & development team. Kind regards, your ANITA team
Wonderfully light bra, minimalist design! Just right. Unfortunately, the slit ripped when inserting the prosthesis. That's not so nice.
Review by Ruth Posted on
How wonderful that you like the minimalist design and the comfort so much! The slit in the pocket is actually only intended for the included foam pads – not for silicone prostheses. For those, we recommend our ESSENTIAL LACE prosthesis bra (item no. 4700X). If you were given different advice in a specialist store, please contact the retailer directly. If you need assistance, our customer service team will be happy to help: service@anita.com
Best regards,
Your ANITA team
The best bra I've ever worn. Fits perfectly in every way! Finally, an XS bra that fits perfectly! It's just a shame that maritim blue is no longer available in size XS.
Review by Doro Posted on
There would have to be a wide underbust band on the bra, then it would stay in place.

Review by Maranto Posted on
I agree with the previous review, but give it one more star because it takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders.
Review by Andrea Posted on
Great bralette, super to wear, especially with larger busts (from b or c). A wider underbust band would be nice. It tends to slide up more. If the underbust band were wider and held better, I would buy it again. Not like this.
