Bra Size Guide
Find Your Perfect Bra Size
Every Platinum Door PinUp bra is handmade using US bra sizing. For the best fit, take both measurements while wearing an unpadded bra. Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug, level around your body and parallel to the floor.
Step 1: Measure Your Band Size
Wrap the measuring tape directly beneath your bust where the bra band naturally rests.
| Snug underbust measurement | Your band size |
|---|---|
| 31–32 inches | 32 |
| 33–34 inches | 34 |
| 35–36 inches | 36 |
| 37–38 inches | 38 |
| 39–40 inches | 40 |
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger band for a more comfortable fit or the smaller band for a firmer, more supportive fit.
Step 2: Measure Your Cup Size
Measure around the fullest part of your bust without pulling the tape too tightly. Subtract your snug underbust measurement from your full-bust measurement. The difference determines your cup size.
| Difference between bust and underbust | US cup size |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | A |
| 2 inches | B |
| 3 inches | C |
| 4 inches | D |
| 5 inches | DD |
| 6 inches | F |
In The Platinum Door PinUp sizing, an F cup represents a 6-inch difference and may be called a DDD or F by other US lingerie brands.
Example
If your snug underbust measures 32 inches and the fullest part of your bust measures 36 inches:
36 − 32 = 4-inch difference
Your recommended bra size is 32D.
How Your Bra Should Fit
A properly fitted bra should have:
-
A band that sits level across your back without riding upward
-
Cups that fully contain your breasts without spilling or gaping
-
A center front that rests comfortably against your chest
-
Straps that stay in place without digging into your shoulders
-
Underwires that surround your breast tissue without resting on it
Your new bra should fit comfortably on the loosest hook. This allows you to move to the tighter hooks as the band naturally relaxes over time.

The Designer
Raised with the Bible in my blood, I set out on a mission when the Pandemic hit, that was to create what I love and put it out there for all women to see and hopefully want to wear. There are a lot of options for intimates out there, but none of them are rooted in faith or Christian idiologies. It is not a sin to want to look and feel like a beautiful female inside and out. My designs are based 100% on what I want to wear (and do) to allow me to feel my most glamorous, everyday, all day. And I want that for all women.
Handmade With Love
Each piece is drafted, cut, and sewn by yours truly. I take so much pride in making certain that every detail is polished and precise. My shop is small, but it is mighty! I truly look forward to each and every order and strive to have these garments last a very long time for each of you to enjoy. American made is the only way!
