To start with, the vast majority of ladies are wearing the wrong size and or style for their shape.
After years of fitting bras I have found the ‘Boob or bust’ calculator the most accurate starting point other than fitting by eye in person.
So in order to find your ‘Beautifully Buxom’ size, your first step is to pop in your measurements to the calculator and it will give you your starting size
I have fitted over a thousand woman over the years and not ONE has been wearing the right size!
I fit by eye, as do most decent bra fitters. Good bra fitters are a rare and skilled and would absolutely recommend you book in to your nearest independent for an appointment.
Here is a map with many fabulous independent fitters in the UK
If visiting an independent is not an option for you I have found the ‘Boob or bust’ calculator the most accurate starting point other than fitting by eye in person which you can find below.

I have created Beautifully Buxom’s unique sizes to accommodate a large range of bra sizes and bodies of various shapes and size, providing comfy and supportive pieces that can allow changes in size which many ladies deal with, hormonal changes, medical conditions, sensory issues, weight changes and early pregnancy while still fitting you, keeping you comfy, supported, saving money and helping reduce potential landfill.
I have been able to do this by using specific elastics, fabrics and custom made hook and eye fastenings which have additional settings to increase/decrease the under band fit which is where most of the support comes from.
It is ESSENTIAL you have a recent bra fitting, you can book with us, or use the Boob or Bust calculator which you can find on our website in the ‘Sizing’ section.
Find your bra size on the Beautifully Buxom size guide below.
If you usually have to ‘size up’ to accommodate your bust with tops etc, you shouldn’t have to with our unique sizing, HOWEVER, If you prefer a looser fitting fit around the waist/tummy/hips, we advise trying a ‘Top size’ UP and a ‘Bra size’ DOWN.
EXAMPLE:
You have been sized at a size 32JJ (suggested BB size S-V on the chart) BUT you usually wear a size 16 and find it a comfortable fit around waist/tummy/hips, try a BB size M-B which is one ‘Top size up’ and ‘Bra size variation’ down.
Place your order!
If you are still unsure please contact us for further help to find your perfect fit.
The top sizes are made up of two sizes (Under band and cup)
The next part of the sizing is the cup part
If you are between sizes (e.g. 32-34 or between FF-G) depending on the size top you usually buy size down to the Small as they are stretchy, or if you would rather have a looser fit on the top part size up to a Medium ,then if you would rather have a more supportive fit for the inner bra, try ‘Ample’ or for a more relaxed fit try ‘Buxom’ or you can try both and return the one that doesn’t fit or order another size to find your perfect BB fit, happy to assist with fitting questions.
