UPPERCUP SIZING GUIDE
Esbelt Women's Size Guidelines
Our bodies are, of course all different and so when is comes to correctly sizing a corset it isn't always just a question of what dress size you wear. A lot depends on your height and weight and where you carry your weight. Corsets are cut with more material at the top and bottom and our measurements are taken at the mid-point of the corset. Typically you would wear a corset about two inches smaller than your waist measurement as the garment will stretch and reshape your figure.
So spend a few minutes looking at the picture chart to help you decide what size will best fit you.

Band or Back Size
All bra band sizes are manufactured in even numbers like 36" or 38". To find your band size measure under the bust holding the tape measure snugly but not too tight and make sure the tape is straight across your back. Then add 4". If the result is an even number then this is your band size. If the number is odd then add another inch to round the size up to the nearest even number.
For example, if the measurement under your bust is 34" by adding 4" your band size is 38". If the measurement under your bust is 35" by adding 4" your band size is 39" but the nearest manufactured band size is 40" not 38".
Cup Size
Wearing your most comfortable bra, measure around the fullest part of the bra. The difference in inches between your under-bust measurement and the fullest part of your bra determines your cup size. However, just as you can be different dress sizes with different manufacturers, so your cup size will vary between bra manufacturers. So you may be an F cup in one brand but an H cup in another. These differences are more noticeable the bigger your cup size so please consult our brand name size chart for specific comparisons and always remember that a tape measure is just a guide.
