Cups should sit smoothly with no gaping or spillover. Try one cup down for gaps and one cup up for spilling.
Quick answer
How Maidenform bra sizing works
Maidenform's bra finder starts with your current size and fit issues, then points you toward style categories. Its measuring guide asks you to wear a minimally lined bra, measure snugly under the bust, measure loosely around the fullest bust, and use the difference to estimate cup size.

FAQ
How do I find my Maidenform bra size?
Start with your Wearavo result, then compare the exact brand or product size chart. If the product uses alpha sizing, use that chart instead of guessing from your band-and-cup size.
Does Maidenform fit true to size?
Fit can vary by style, fabric, wire, cup depth, and strap construction. The safest answer is to use the official chart and then check the band, cups, straps, and centre fit on the actual bra.
Should I use sister sizes for Maidenform?
Yes, sister sizes can help when the cup volume feels close but the band is too tight or too loose. Try one band up and one cup down, or one band down and one cup up.
What should I check before buying Maidenform bras online?
Check the exact product size chart, return policy, available cup range, and whether the style is band-and-cup or alpha sized. A calculator result is a starting point, not a guarantee.
