Fitting — Top guide
All of us are different and it is our aim to make sure that we have mix and match options to suit and flatter your own particular shape. In order to help you make the right decision you will be given fitting and style tips when you select each item. In this section you can choose your particular shape and identify the styles to look at and the ones to stay away from. If you have any questions on fitting or styles please telephone us on 08708 505567 or email us for informal fitting advice.
Small Cup Sizes
The Rules
- Stay away from plain halters as these can be flattening
- Stick to moulded bras, like the Moulded Tris, Twisted Bandeau and Booster which give shape
- The moulded Tris have subtle moulding in the cups so are perfect for those who don’t like padding but want some shape
- The Halter Tris, V-wire Bandeau and Bond Bra also work well for smaller cups if you are not after ‘Boosting’
- If you are the classic Triangle shape make use of the prints, decorative detailing and ruched effect on the top half to draw attention upwards
B-C Cup Sizes
Most of the tops from our collection will work perfectly for these cup sizes but stay away from the V-Wire Bandeau and Booster Bras if you are a C cup.
The Rules
- Most of the tops from our collection will work perfectly for these cup sizes but stay away from the V-wire Bandeau and Booster Bras if you are a C cup
- Like with the small cup-sizes, if you are pearshaped use the decorative details, prints and ruched effect to bring the eye upwards
- You can try mixing patterned tops with plain bottoms to bring attention upwards
- If you are very fair keep away from the red and the Fiesta. Chocolate gives you an automatic tan (it is the equivalent of that ‘little black dress’ that always looks stunning)
D/DD & E Cup Sizes
At last you don’t have to go up 3 sizes of bikini to get the right bust fit. We have introduced a great choice of D/DD cups in our collection which are working for people really well. They all tie at the back so you can get the perfect back fit. The D/DD also works for E cups too—if you need advice please call us.
The Rules
- Those of you who are bigger on top than below, use the detailing in the pants to balance top and bottom
- Forget any moulding, you are the lucky ones who don’t need it
- The wide straps not only flatter your shoulders but give better support
- (If you are an E cup and you can’t find what you are looking for in our separates, please contact us as we may be able to order it in for you)
Tummy Coverage/Tankinis
For those of you with a bit of tummy wobble, try one of the very flattering Tankinis which give bust support and lift but fall softly round the tummy to hide our imperfections. The overall look is much more flattering than a one piece and the added bonus is, while noones watching, you can roll them up and get a tanned tummy!
The Rules
- Smaller cup sizes should stick to singlets with cups or moulding
- Those with bigger hips mix with plain bottoms to minimise the pear shape effect
- DD cups you will find enough support with the cupped singlets but you may need to go up a size
