Panache Size & Fit Guide
Choose Panache bras, panties and swimwear using UK cup lettering with your US band for cup-sized styles. Read the notes for molded, full-cup, sports and strapless bras, and check matching bottoms independently from your bra size.
Fit by product & style
Porcelain, Cari & full-cup styles
Use UK cup letters with your US band. Molded, spacer and seamed full cups offer different shapes; an unchanged size label does not guarantee the same fit.
Sports & strapless bras
For sport, check security during movement and deep breathing. For strapless, test the band with straps removed.
Sculptresse/Cleo briefs & swimwear
Select matching panties and swim bottoms independently from the bra. Alpha labels, including extended sizes, require the exact range for that style rather than a universal Panache panty range.
UK cup letters with US bands
Panache uses UK cup lettering on our cup-sized products. US DD/E becomes UK DD; US DDD/F becomes UK E. UK E is a different cup from US DD.
| Familiar US cup | UK cup to select |
|---|---|
| A | A |
| B | B |
| C | C |
| D | D |
| DD / E | DD |
| DDD / F | E |
| G | F |
| H | FF |
| I | G |
| J | GG |
| K | H |
| L | HH |
| M | J |
| N | JJ |
| O | K |
For example, US 34DDD/F corresponds to 34E in this cup comparison. A comparison is a starting point, not a promise of identical fit across brands. For labels beyond this chart, contact our team.
How to measure & check fit
Use a soft tape. Measure the fullest part of your bust, your natural waist and the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level without pressing into the body. Tables labeled body measurements refer to you, rather than the garment laid flat.
For bras, measure snugly directly below your bust and around the fullest bust in an unpadded bra. These measurements help our team assess a starting size; band methods and cup construction differ by style.
- The band should sit level and feel secure without restricting breathing.
- Cups should contain the bust without spilling or gaping, and wires should sit around breast tissue comfortably.
- Adjust straps without using them to compensate for a loose band. Check fit while sitting and moving.
