Measurements for a corset are taken in the same way as measurements for a bra. Stand in front of a mirror and wrap a tape measure securely around your chest. The tape should be just under or at the crease behind your breasts and square across your back. Make a note of this measurement in inches. To find your band size, do the following: If the number is even, add 4 to get your band size If the number is odd, add 5 to get your band size Example, if you wrote down 36, add 4 and your corset size will be 40. If you have a DD cup size or above you would go one cup size higher. We have a number of Dreamgirl corsets in sizes 5X-8X. These are limited edition and very difficult to get hold of. For these garments, Dreamgirl have used a different sizing convention which is shown below. If you are near the top of the measurements for a size and your breasts are larger than DD cup, then you may consider the next size up. | | | Waist | Hips | UK Dress Size | | 5x/6x | 54"-60" (D-DD) | 44"-48" | 58"-64" | 26-28 | | 7x/8x | 60"-66" (D-DD) | 48"-52" | 66"-72" | 30-32 |
