What is my new size?
Maternity sizes are usually the same as non-maternity clothing….so if you were a size 12 before you became pregnant then look for size 12 maternity. However, many garments are made in stretchy fabrics and as a result you could fit a couple of sizes depending perhaps on how fitted you like your clothes to be. So if you prefer your clothes a bit looser you might be happier in the size up. Also if you are having a multiple birth, then generally you need to go up at least one size. Please feel free to ring us if you have any queries about your size in a particular style or any other questions you might have.

Use the guide below to choose your maternity size.
If between two sizes we recommend that you go up 1 size.

Clothes Sizing:

Maternity clothes can be even more comfortable than your usual clothes, allowing for standard weight gain
If are gaining more than an average pregnancy weight, we recommend that you go up 1 size
For those lucky enough to be having twins we also suggest you go up at least one size

Bra Sizing:

Measurements for Bra Sizing:

Step 1:

• Measure Underbust.
• Measure around your rib cage.
• Use this measurement to measure your body size eg. 78 cm size 14.

Step 2:

• Measure Bust.
• Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
• Use this measurement from the table for your body size.
• To select your cup size eg. 96 cm = C-cup.

Measuring Tips:

• Take measurements whilst wearing a suitable bra but without outer garments.
• Measure yourself holding the tape measure firmly around you.
• Make no extra allowances.
• If you are in between sizes we suggest you order the larger size.
