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.
We have a group of bras traveling through Europe and the USA if you are interested in trying one on before ordering. Please join the HumBird BST and find the featured post to learn more and sign up.

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 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.
