To be completely transparent: our bands run small. Because our bras are designed specifically for petite frames, the bands offer a very snug fit.

We highly recommend sizing up one band size from your usual measurement (for example, if you normally wear a 32B, you should order a 34B). However, our cup sizes (A to C) run true to size.

For the most flawless fit, taking a quick minute to measure yourself before purchasing is always the best approach. Grab a soft measuring tape and follow these steps while wearing an unpadded bra:

• Step 1: Measure your Underbust and Bust

Your Underbust (Band): Wrap the tape measure firmly around your ribcage, directly beneath your breasts. Make sure the tape remains perfectly level across your back.

Your Bust (Cup): Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level. Do not pull it too tight. (Tip: If your measurement falls on a 1/2 inch, simply round up!)

• Step 2: Calculate Your Size
  Let us do the math for you! Enter your two measurements into our Instant Size Calculator to discover your perfect Timpa fit in seconds.

If your new Timpa bra isn't quite the flawless match you hoped for, don't worry! Use this quick "Sister Size" guide to find your ultimate fit:

• The band fits perfectly, but the cups are too big
  Keep the same band size but go down a cup letter.
  Example: If the 34B feels perfect around your ribs but the cups are too roomy, try the 34A.

• The band fits perfectly, but the cups are too small
  Keep the same band size but go up a cup letter.
  Example: If your 34A band fits flawlessly but you are spilling over the top of the cups, try the 34B.

• The band is too big, but the cups fit perfectly
  Go down a band size and go up a cup letter to keep the exact same cup volume.
  Example: If the cups on your 34A fit beautifully but the band rides up in the back, try the 32B.

• The band is too tight, but the cups fit perfectly
  Go up a band size and go down a cup letter to keep the exact same cup volume.
  Example: If the cups on your 34B are perfect but the band feels too restrictive, try the 36A.

• Both the band and the cups are too small
  Go up a full band size and keep the same cup letter. (A larger band automatically holds slightly more cup volume!).
  Example: If your 32A feels entirely too tight all around, try the 34A.

• Both the band and the cups are too big
  Go down a full band size and keep the same cup letter.
  Example: If your 34B feels too loose around your ribs and too roomy in the cups, try the 32B.

It depends on your wardrobe and how your breast tissue is distributed:

• The Demi (Alice / Natacha): The holy grail for everyday wear. The lower cut lifts from the bottom up, creating a beautifully rounded shape without swallowing your chest in fabric.
• The Plunge (Camille / Alice): Perfect if you want to bring your tissue toward the center to create a natural cleavage. Ideal for deep V-necks and wrap dresses.
• The Bandeau (Alice): Features a straight-across neckline (with sewn-on straps) that hugs the chest wall flawlessly. It’s incredibly flattering under square-neck tops and stays perfectly flush against the skin.
