A comprehensive guide to help you find the right fit for every M&S bra style.
Dual-Size Bra Chart
Dual-size bras group similar band and cup measurements into a single, flexible fit (e.g., S, M, L). They are popular for everyday comfort, offering a convenient way to accommodate a range of bust sizes.
Step 1: Measure your bust with a soft tape at its fullest point. Ensure the tape is level and snug.
Step 2: Record your measurement in inches or centimeters. Refer to the corresponding "Inch" or "Cms" row on the chart.
Step 3: Identify your size category: Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large. For example, 37½ inches fits in the Medium range (36¼ - 38 inches).
Step 4: If your measurement falls between ranges (e.g., 35 inches), choose a smaller size for a firmer fit or a larger size for a relaxed fit.
Step 5: If your measurement significantly exceeds the chart’s upper limit—for example, if you measure 49 inches when the maximum is 47½ inches—consider custom fitting, as even the X-Large option may be too snug.
These expert-approved steps follow industry standards. For optimal fit, consult a professional fitter or try the bra in-store.
