If you are happy with the fit of your current bra, then we recommend you try the same size from Taking Shape. Eg. if your favourite bra is a size 18DD in another brand, we recommend you try a size 18DD from Taking Shape.

A quick checklist for the correct fit -

Cups are neatly encasing the breasts without any overflow
Underbust band is firm and sitting parallel to the ground
Underwire is comfortably encircling the breasts and not digging in
Shoulder straps are firm and secure, not tight and digging into shoulders

The Bra Size Chart is to be used as a guide only, as body and breast shapes are unique and can vary. If you aren’t satisfied with your purchase, you can return it in accordance with our returns policy.

Numerical (12-24)

Many of our styles feature a size range of 12-24. This is typically assigned to woven designs, such as cotton, linen and polyester blend products, which generally offer less stretch than knit styles.

Alphabetical (XXS-XL)

Our knit styles, which are usually viscose or polyester blends with elastane, are typically assigned a size range of XXS-XL. This is due to their stretch and more flexible fit. We also offer a selection of styles in smaller size ranges, such as S, M & L. These styles have a generous fit and are made in fewer sizes due to their oversized nature.

Bust

Keeping the tape level, measure around the fullest part of your bust.

Waist

Measure your natural waistline, which sits in between your rib cage and hips. Remember to keep the tape comfortably loose.

Hips

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms by your side. Measure your hips at the point where your wrist falls against your leg (this should be at their widest point).

Tips for measuring

Use a tape measure
Wear firm-fitting clothing and your everyday bra.
Measure yourself in front of a mirror.

Heather - Castle Hill NSW | 16 April 2024

Really love the colour of this velour top although had to get a bigger size I still am very happy with the style as well

Pretty fabric

Tephie - sydney | 10 April 2024

I was attracted by the pretty fabric and bought it for wearing out to dinner.rnI do like the top but there are a couple of little issues for me. I'm not keen on the lower ruffle - I find it sticks out a bit at hip level. The fabric is a little stiff and somewhat transparent. I shall wear a black singlet underneath it - so cooler weather onlhy.

Fancy Top

Glynn - Waikato New Zealand | 08 April 2024

This top is rather lovely although I was unsure about it as not really the exact colour I would like. But can see it being very useful for lots of things - comfortable weight and pretty sleeves. Just wish it was about 2cm longer
