Double Overlap Bra
For measuring and sizing advice please click on the size and fit guide then how to measure tab.
The double overlap bra offers the most coverage and support outside of a sport style bra. It folds down easily for nursing and can be worn for both nursing and non-nursing persons. We recommend this bra for those looking for the most support in a separated cup style bra. Please note that bras made in everyday wool will feel more snug as the fabric has more rebound, I still wear the same size in all wool types but if you are at the higher end of a size you may want to size up in everyday wool.
The bra insert option has a layer of stretchable netting nestled between the wool layers. This is to retain bra support even with the added space for the insert. Please note the netting is not made out of wool but is a spandex blend and is matched as close as possible to the bra colour.

Please note the cross back strap lengths have been adjusted to be more in line with the straight back. As of April 1, 2023 they are 2cm shorter.
How to measure:
1. Measure your full bust to choose the BRA size. (XXS through XXXL). Please be aware that different body shapes wear will make the bra fit somewhat differently. I suggest buying the size you measure into (unless you know you prefer it a bit snugger or looser) and then deciding after wearing it if you would like to buy a different size. For the full bust I measure without a bra and pull the tape measure snug enough that nipples are flat.
2. Measure under the bust as follows for the BAND size. For the band size please put the tape measure very firmly against your skin and pull it TIGHT right under your breast. For medium bra we recommend a band size 4 or smaller, for large size 5 or smaller, XL 6 or smaller.
3. Measure your underbust again to help choose cup size. For the underbust do not pull the tape measure tight (like the for the band) just let it rest on your skin.
4. Pick your cup size by subtracting the underbust from the full bust measurement. Remember that bra fit is very personal and these are only recommendations.
5. We do not recommend changing the bra strap lengths until after you have worn one and decide based on your personal preference.

United StatesThe PERFECT Maternity and Nursing Bra
Pre-Pregnancy I am a 32DD/DDD. I have a petite frame but am more ***** than average. I also have a short torso so I have a lot of rib expansion during pregnancy. I ordered a size large, DDD cup, band size 4 with a double wide band. Ive always wanted a "bralette" type for pregnancy but could never find something that was supportive enough without molded cups. This fits perfectly. It's supportive without being restrictive at all. There is ample coverage, but plenty of stretch for nursing access. The double layer of wool is thick and covering- but not bulky. The double wide band doesn't roll, it may slide up my belly from time to time, but not the uncomfortable, tight rolling. The sides of the bra come up higher than average, so there is no "side boob" or "back fat." It is the most comfortable bra I've ever owned. I'm excited to wear this bra for labor and delivery and I feel secure and confident in it. It will then transition perfectly into nursing. There's plenty of stretch and rebound for the various body changes of pregnancy.
United KingdomLet’s talk bras!!!
This is it!!! Comfortable, beautiful and efficient ; ) I need my bras to hold what needs to be held. I love the “customable” band. This bra covers left, right and centre and no bulges at the sides, and back. I can only say thank you.
United StatesAbsolutely amazing fit and comfort
At 52 years of age, I had given up on finding a comfortable bra that also offers support. This is it! I have a small frame and large girls that do not behave. With this bra, I can actually run, bend over or take a bumpy car ride without getting beat up by my own body. They are so comfortable,sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. The straps don't dig into my shoulders, and the genius placement of the strap seam is even more comfortable. 5 stars times a million.
