How to measure
First, take a snug measurement under the breast line with a soft tape measure-- lift your breast tissue up and place tape underneath if necessary (this is a measurement of your rib cage). Next, take another measurement over the fullest part of your chest. You might want to wear a sports bra when you do this. Again not too tight but not too loose. Take the average of these two measurements and apply the result to the sizing recommendation provided below.
EXAMPLE OF HOW TO FIGURE AN "AVERAGE MEASUREMENT"
If your measurement of the rib cage is 32", and the over-tissue measurement is 38":
32" + 38" = 70". 70" divided by 2 = 35".
In this example, you'd use the average measurement of 35" to find the correct size.
If you are between sizes (unless you’ve already tried this binder and know your size), it is likely better to opt for the larger size, since compression garments are already designed to fit snugly.
Each Underworks item has a different scale based on the elasticity of the fabric used and the cut of the garment, so please pay attention to the sizing scale for each style.
XS: 28" to 30"
Small: 31" to 33"
Medium: 34" to 36"
Large: 37" to 40"
XL: 41" to 44"
2XL: 45" to 48"
3XL: 49" to 52"
