How to Measure Yourself for a Flexi-Size Bra

Quick Answer

To measure for a Flexi-Size Bra, you'll need a soft measuring tape. Wrap it around your ribcage just under your bust for band size and around the fullest part of your bust for cup size. Use these measurements with Molke's sizing chart to find your Flexi-Size Bra size.

Getting the right fit for a bra is essential for comfort and support, and the Molke Flexi-Size Bra is designed to offer both. Measuring yourself correctly is the first step to finding a bra that feels like it was made for you.

Whether you're buying online or just want to double-check your size, this guide will walk you through the process. With a few simple measurements, you'll be ready to choose the perfect Flexi-Size Bra.

What You'll Need

Before you start, grab a soft measuring tape (like the Molke measuring tape if you have one), a mirror, and wear a non-padded bra or no bra at all. This ensures you're measuring your natural shape.

If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string and a ruler, but a soft tape is easiest for getting accurate measurements around your body.

• Wear minimal or no clothing on top for accuracy.
• Stand straight but relaxed, with your arms at your sides.

Step-by-Step Measuring Process

First, measure your band size. Wrap the tape around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Make sure it's snug but not tight, and that the tape is level all the way around. Take a deep breath and note the measurement in inches.

Next, measure your bust size. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the floor. Don't pull too tight; the tape should rest comfortably against your skin. Note this measurement as well.

Now, calculate your cup size by subtracting your band measurement from your bust measurement. Each inch of difference corresponds to a cup size (1 inch = A, 2 inches = B, and so on). However, Molke's Flexi-Size Bra sizing may differ, so always refer to their specific size chart.

• Common mistake: Measuring over a padded bra can add inches and lead to a wrong size.
• Checkpoint: Measure twice to ensure consistency.

Understanding Flexi-Size Bra Sizing

The Flexi-Size Bra is designed to accommodate a range of sizes with fewer SKUs, making it easier to find your fit. Unlike traditional bras with specific band and cup combinations, the Flexi-Size Bra uses a more flexible sizing system.

Molke's Flexi-Size Bra is made from GOTs-certified organic cotton jersey with a power mesh lining for support. This fabric stretches and adapts to your body, so getting the closest measurement is key to enjoying that signature comfort.

• Checkpoint: If between sizes, size down for a snugger fit or up for more room.

Step-by-Step Measuring Checklist

1. Measure Band: Wrap tape under bust, snug but not tight. Checkpoint: Tape should be level and you can breathe normally.
2. Measure Bust: Wrap tape at fullest part, parallel to floor. Checkpoint: Tape should not dig in or slip.
3. Calculate Size: Subtract band from bust; refer to Molke chart. Common mistake: Using outdated size charts; always use current Molke guide.
4. Try It On: If possible, try the Flexi-Size Bra to confirm fit. Checkpoint: Should feel snug but not restrictive.
