Advice on cup size on LH bras/basques? 👙

Good afternoon, :sun::sunrise:

Okay, I’ve seen a few really cute cupped bra and basque sets on the love honey site including this one:

But I’m totally lost for bra size!

Does anyone else find this problem? I’m about 12-14 36D/DD (depending on what mood they’re in) and I don’t know whether to get a medium or large. As it has to fit the top and the bottom.

From what I’m aware returns aren’t accepted on underwear that’s opened as well?

I’ve read some of the reviews as well to get an idea but i’m none the wiser as they just keep saying about how good their girlfriend looks in it!

So I was hoping for some feedback here as there seems to be some avid love honey customers on here? :grinning_face::bikini:

I cannot give you any advice re the cup sizing but I must say the item you have chosen is absolutely wonderful. I believe you will feel great in it, once you receive it and will be the hottest lady around. A fabulous choice. @Hannahnim

Aww just out of interest, was it the small medium or large that you bought? Just trying to avoid unnecessary returns here… That’s even if I can return them in the first place. Always so difficult when they use small, medium and large and not cup size (which I notice more companies are doing now by the way). X

I got large - looks great but boobs too big for me

I’m a bit slow to this but, if you’re still looking for advice on sizing, I think I’m a similar size to you. I don’t have this particular set but I have had one very similar. I am a 12 on top and a 14 on the bottom and bra size 34D/DD. I have tried both the the M and L in several LH bras sets and, for the wired bras, the L is too big in the cups and a little big in the back as well so I would suggest the M might be best for your bra size. Do check your measurements against the size chart though, the measurements are usually quite accurate. (I believe the bust measurement is over-bust whilst standing, not under bust). The knickers on this set are adjustable so I would concentrate on getting the bra and belt to fit and hopefully the knickers will work.

I thought you could return lingerie that doesn’t fit as long as the tags are on, you’ve tried them on over your own knickers and you put it back in the original packaging but I haven’t purchased lingerie for a while. Maybe @Lovehoney_Brenna could answer this one?

Yes, you can absolutely try on lingerie for size over your own undies! Just make sure it’s returned unused, unworn (aside from trying it on) and in its original condition, with all packaging and tags still attached :slight_smile:

Thanks Brenna that makes life a lot easier! I think I did see somewhere that opened packaging items couldn’t be returned but I must’ve misread that X

Thank you for your super response it was exactly the one I was hoping for!! No, I haven’t bought anything yet, was just waiting a little for replies first so you’re in perfect time. I have actually got one bra set, I think it’s in the large, but it’s almost cupless so it’s a bit hard to gauge size on that one.

I didn’t realise the measurements were over bust size so I’ll bear that in mind and check again, ta :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::bikini::woman_dancing:

i am new to buys bra i just had my serious surgery month ago i have 44dd breats what size bra do i need can u help me

just to do an update I got the set in the medium and it was way too small in the cup even though I was within the over bust measurement. Anyway, I got the large and tweaked the back size to the smallest and I’m glad to say it fits perfectly woo hoo! And it actually looks better than it did in the pictures. So I’m extremely pleased with that.

Also at the same time I bought this set: https://www.lovehoney.co.uk/lingerie/all/p/lovehoney-vintage-bliss-ivory-bra-set-3-piece/84024.html

In the large, as I’ve been eyeing that for a bit and that fits perfectly as well, and it looks gorgeous so I’m very pleased with that.

Just thought I’d do the update in case anybody else is wondering the same in future. The bottoms I’d say on the large probably 14 at the very most… Not that much of a large at all but knickers never are, are they :squinting_face_with_tongue::bikini:
