Did you know that, apparently, as many as 80% of all women are wearing a wrong-sized bra? Wearing the wrong size, especially if you are big-chested, will result in both chafing bra straps and a sore back. But Made by Noemi is, of course, here to help you.
Bra sizes are usually given in either inches or centimeters; 32 is the same size as 70, 34 the same as 75, etc. The Made by Noemi sizes are given in centimeters. In order to determine your bra size you need to take two measurements, A and B. Use a tape measure and follow our simple instructions below.
A – Under bust circumference*
Measure under the bust, around your back, keep the tape measure tight – and measure without a bra for correct result.
(A) : 68-73cm
You are 70 in ‘under bust’ size.
See (B) measurement for cup-size!
(A) : 74-77cm
You are 75 in ‘under bust’ size.
See (B) measurement for cup-size!
* Choose the size closest, but make sure you always choose the smaller size, ie if you measure 73,5cm, choose the 70cm-sized bra. With time and continued wear and tear the elastic will stretch.
B – Cup size
In order to determine your cup size you need to measure your bust where it is the widest, then please refer to this table.
Cups for size 70 (A)
(B) : 86-88cm
You are C in ‘cup’ size. Choose 70c in bra size.
(B) : 88-90cm
You are D in ‘cup’ size. Choose 70d in bra size.
Cups for size 75 (A)
(B) : 86-88cm
You are A in ‘cup’ size. Choose 75a in bra size.
(B) : 87-89cm
You are B in ‘cup’ size. Choose 75b in bra size.
(B) : 91-93cm
You are C in ‘cup’ size. Choose 75c in bra size.

Bralette and bustier in SheerPower collection have been given more flexible sizing because of their soft style and stretchy materials. The bralette is adjustable in width back too!
Both styles are available in SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE – choose your size same way as you would with a top. See below for quick cup guide:
SMALL = 70c / 70d / 75a
MEDIUM = 75b / 75c / 80b
LARGE = 75d / 80c / 85b
Our model Karin wears a size SMALL for a bikini-top-look. If you prefer to have the cup to cover more of your breast then select a larger size.
Every fabric has it’s own stretch capacity that sometimes also effects the sizes. If so you might need to choose a bigger/smaller size. In any such case it will be written on selected style.
Another thing to remember, when it comes to beachwear, is that fabrics stretch in water and for that reason your beachwear should be tighter than your lingerie. Otherwise your bathing suit or bikini might turn into an unflattering balloon when getting out of water and show more skin than you wish.
