Since there is some overlap between our two size ranges, you may be wondering which one to choose. The main difference between the two size ranges is that the 14-32 range is drafted for larger busts with a more pear-shaped lower body. If you fall in one of the overlapping sizes, we suggest determining your cup size first by measuring your full bust and high bust and subtracting one from the other. Each inch difference equals one cup size. If you are a D cup or larger, our 14-32 range will ensure the best fit through the bust. If you are an A/B/C cup through the bust and less pear-shaped, the 0-20 range will be the best option.
Downloads for both size ranges are available, be sure to only print the one you wish to use.

The 14-32 size range is drafted for D cup, with a pear-shaped lower body and an average height of 5'-6".
· Cup size = difference between full and high bust (1"=A, 2"=B, 3"=C, 4"=D). If your difference exceeds 4", you may need a full bust adjustment. If your difference is smaller, you may need a small bust adjustment.
· Note: even if your numeric size overlaps with the 0-20 range, body measurements are not the same — always size by measurements, not past size.
