It's a fabulous match for the 1940s French Knicker. An authentic design 1940s bra by "What Katy Did." The shoulder straps are made from non-stretch ribbon, as similar as possible to the era. There is a minimal stretch to the band of the bra which makes sizing critical. Please refer to the sizing chart for more info. *French Knickers sold separately*

Fabric: 100% Polyester with thin trim 100% Nylon denier at the bottom of cup.

A-D Cup?

You should select your usual bra size when shopping with What Katie Did. The sizes are generally in line with brands including Agent Provocateur, Triumph, and Gossard.

DD+ Cup?

Please note that What Katy Did bras are not a modern full-cup brand that specializes in DD+ cups which means that all of their bras are sized traditionally: your underbust measurement and band size should not be the same. Our band sizes are designed to fit an underbust measurement 3-4 inches smaller so, for example, a size 32 is designed to fit an underbust 28-29".
Bullet Bras: A-D Cup

Once you know how bra grading works sizing for Bullet Bras is very simple. In fact, if you're a cup size A-D and are happy with the fit of your current 'cut and sewn' bras then you should take your usual size.

If you always wear molded cup bras, push up bras, or add-a-cup-size bras it's best to check the fit of a non padded 'cut and sewn' (where pieces of fabric are sewn together to form the cup) bra. Molded bras in particular have the advantage of fitting quite a few cup sizes where as with authentic 1950s bullet bras, fit really is critical. The cups are non stretch and you really need to fill them properly to get a nice pointy shape.

Bullet Bras: DD+ Cup

If you are a Curve (DD+) size then you will generally need to go up a band size and down a cup size. This is due to a combination of the non stretch band and a lack of wire spring (due to no underwires).
