1. First we measure your rib-cage, directly under your bust to determine your bra band size.
2. Then we measure the fullest part of your bust. The difference between this measurement and your rib-cage measurement gives us your cup size.
3. These measurements give us a good starting point. You may wear a different size depending on the brand and style. 
4. We will pull a variety of bras that will best suit your frame, size and needs. We will assess each bra on you individually, and adjust the fit and size if needed.
5. We will explain the features of each bra we pull, and let you know if it works for your bust.

For the best fitting bras, come in for a fitting! We have bras from AA-H cup and 30-40 band size. We know our stock inside and out and we will work hard to put you in the perfect bra to suit your needs.

What is a three-piece cup?
A three-piece cup is when the cup of the bra is comprised of three pieces of fabric sewn together in a way to push the breast tissue in and upward, giving better shape and support.

Why do I need a three-piece cup?
Seamed three-piece bras are a great option for heavier busts and often provide better fit and lift when compared to their seamless counterparts. The arched transverse seam curves along the bra cup and gives a more rounded shape to the breast tissue while also being very supportive.

What bra should I consider?
The Madison Balcony Bra from Prima Donna is a great example of a three-piece cup. This underwire bra has a sensual balconette bust line and deep cups. Finished with lace that hugs your curves, the check pattern on the lower cups gives a fresh youthful look. This new addition to Beestung is exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear, while still being gorgeous. It is also available in nude and black from band size 30-38 and cup size D-G.

Do the seams show under clothing?
You will find that a three-piece bra will work under about 90% of your wardrobe. Most bra manufacturers make the seams as flat as possible. After a few days wear, the weight of your breast tissue helps to further flatten the seam to give a smooth and invisible look under almost all tops. Under white t-shirts and form fitting clothing, the seam may be slightly visible. Layering with a camisole will help the seam to disappear too.
