Aurora Quarter Cup Bra
£129.17
The ultimate in full bust boudoir lingerie, our collaboration with award winning independent designer Karolina Laskowska features a quarter cup bra shape in double layer tulle beneath our signature scalloped lace, giving a surprising amount of lift for such a revealing style. An adjustable back adjusts through 4 full band sizes, allowing the wearer to customise the fit to their own body perfectly with gold slides, with lace cap sleeves backed onto silk, a delicate pearl ornament, and individually pattern matched French leavers lace, each piece individually cut by hand. The open cup bra cut allows for more risqué boudoir styling - wear with our metallic gold and lace pasties for a more dramatic look, and a huge array of coordinates, ranging from an ouvert brief, tanga or thong through to steel boned waspie or 12 strap suspender belt.
Please note this style is made to order, please allow up to 3 weeks for your garments to be made for you in our studio.
Size and Fit
Each bra fits up to 4 UK sizes through an adjustable back.
Sizes beginning with "KL" are using Karolina Laskowska's sizing system, designed for smaller cup sizes. These use a "+4" sizing method - measure around your underbust in inches, and add 4 inches if it is even, or 5 inches if it is odd. This will give your underband measurement .
Then measure over your bust (level across the nipple). Work out the difference between this number and your underbust measurement to find your cup size (e.g. 1 =A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=DD etc).
Some of her sizes cross over with sizes we offer ourselves - if you wear a 30DD, 30E or 32DD in our bras, these ones will have a slightly softer underwire and shape.
The remaining options, created especially for fuller bust sizes, use our usual sizing system, where the underband is equal to your inch measurement. If you measure 32 inches under your bust, you will wear a 32 band in ours, in line with the most common DD+ bra measuring systems.
If you’d like any help with sizing, please contact us and we’d love to help!

Bra Fitting Guide
We do not advise the use of a tape measure for finding the correct bra size, due to the many variations in body size, shape and preference that a rigid tape measure cannot account for.
Instead, please follow our guide to ensuring the correct fit visually
Band Size
The band should fit comfortably around your body in a horizontal line, fastened on either the loosest or middle set of hook and eyes.
Some women find that fitting on the loosest hook is best for them, so they are able to tighten it over time as the band loosens with wear. Others prefer to fit to the middle hook, to vary the fit according to fluctuations in size. Our silk bands have less stretch than conventional powermesh, so don't be afraid of adjusting the fit according to your personal preference.
If you find the band is riding up at the back, this is usually a sign the band is too large, so you may want to try a smaller back size. If the cup is fitting well however, you will need to go up one cup size whilst going down one band size - for example, if your 34E is too loose in the band but perfect in the cup, try a 32F instead.
If you find the band is feeling uncomfortably restrictive, try going up a band size, and down a cup size if the cup still fits well - for example, a 32F would then go up to the 34E.
Straps
If you find your straps are digging in, it can sometimes mean the band is too loose so support is being forced to come from the straps, so do check the band is fitting horizontally around your body.
All of our bras have gold rings at the back to allow rotation according to the width of your shoulders, and many also have them at the front for even more adjustability. Several of our bras have wide, flared silk straps to maintain the comfort of a wider strap with a more flattering shape. Lengthening and shortening the back elastics can also help with getting the fit just right for your body.
Underwires
Wires should lie flat against your chest at the centre front, and contain all of your breast tissue within them at the side. If you find the wires are digging in to the side of your breasts, not lying against your ribcage, see if a larger cup size will work better for you
The cup should fully contain your breast, without spilling over at the top, or having loose gaping fabric. It is natural to have one breast slightly larger than the other, so if this is the case try to ensure the best fit to the largest side.
If you find the cup is wrinkling or gaping, try a smaller cup size.
If you find the cup is spilled over at the top, try a larger cup size.
