Measure vertically down the centre front of the corset,
from its top edge to its lowest bottom point.
Start:
Place the beginning of a soft measuring tape at the
top centre point of the corset, where the front
closure or busk begins.
Measure:
Run the tape straight down the centre front,
following the closure, to the lowest centre point
of the bottom edge.
Check:
Keep the tape flat against the corset, without
twisting or allowing it to become loose.
Read the measurement at the bottom edge.
Please note:
Start and finish on the corset itself. Do not include
any space above the top edge or below the bottom edge.
How to Measure?
Side Length Measurement
Measure the shortest section at the side of the corset,
usually directly below the underarm.
Start:
Place the beginning of a soft measuring tape at the
top edge of the corset, directly below the underarm.
Measure:
Follow the corset’s natural side curve down to the
bottom edge at the same side position.
Check:
Keep the tape flat against the corset, without
twisting or allowing it to become loose.
Read the measurement at the bottom edge.
Please note:
Follow the shape of the corset rather than holding
the tape straight away from it. Start and finish
on the corset itself.
How to Measure?
Centre Back Length
Measure vertically down the centre back of the corset,
along the middle of the back-lacing section.
Start:
Place the beginning of a soft measuring tape at the
top centre edge of the corset, between the two rows
of eyelets where the back lacing begins.
Measure:
Run the tape straight down the middle of the
back-lacing section to the lowest centre point
of the bottom edge.
Check:
Keep the tape flat and centred from top to bottom,
without twisting, becoming loose or shifting
to either side. Read the measurement at the
bottom edge.
Please note:
Measure between the back-lacing panels, rather than
along either row of eyelets. Start and finish at
the corset’s edges, excluding any loose lacing cords.

Overbust
Take both measurements on bare skin, without a bra. Stand relaxed, breathe normally, and keep the tape level and snug—not tight.

Full Bust (Natural Bust):
Measure around the fullest part of your bust without squeezing or flattening it.
Illustration note:
The image demonstrates tape placement for both measurements. Although a bra is shown, please measure without one to record your natural body measurements.

Underbust
Measure on bare skin, without clothing or a bra. Stand relaxed and breathe normally.
Position:
Place the tape directly beneath your breasts, where the bust meets the ribcage.
Wrap:
Bring the tape around your ribcage, keeping it level across your back.
Fit:
Keep the tape comfortably snug without digging into your skin. Read the measurement after a normal breath out.
Please note:
Record your actual underbust measurement without subtracting any inches.
How to Measure?
Bra Cup Size
Your bra size combines a band number
and a cup letter, such as 30C or 34D.
Use this guide as a starting estimate for UK/US
inch-based sizing.
Measure your band:
Wrap a soft tape snugly around your ribcage, directly
beneath your breasts. Keep it level and breathe
normally. Use the nearest even inch as a starting
band size, then check your bra brand’s chart.
Measure your full bust:
Wear a well-fitting, unpadded bra. Measure around
the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape
level without squeezing.
Estimate your cup:
Subtract your band size from your full bust
measurement, using inches.
1 inch = A · 2 inches = B ·
3 inches = C · 4 inches = D
Example:
38-inch full bust − 34 band = 4 inches.
Your starting bra size is 34D.
Check the fit:
The band should sit level and comfortably snug.
Cups should contain your breasts without spilling
or gaping.
Please note:
Sizes vary by brand and country, especially beyond
D cup. For your corset order, enter your best-fitting
bra size and sizing system, such as “34D UK”.
Provide your actual body measurements separately.

Above Knee – Falls 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) above the knee, typically 18–20 inches (46–51 cm).
Knee Length – Ends right at or just below the knee, usually 21–23 inches (53–58 cm).

Maxi – Reaches the ankles or floor, usually 38–42 inches (96–107 cm).
