Which Breastplate Is Right for Me?
A breastplate is one of the biggest investments you'll make as a performer, and the right fit changes everything. This guide walks you through choosing yours in three steps: decide on the look you want, take four quick measurements, then match your numbers to the chart. Follow it and you'll order with total confidence. Short on time? Skip the tape measure and take our Breastplate Finder Quiz for a personalized recommendation.
Step 1: Decide on Your Look
Before you pick up a tape measure, decide what you want your bust to do for your silhouette.
- Natural. Blends with your body and any hip padding you wear.
- Bombshell. Fuller and more noticeable, built to read from the back of the room.
- Statuesque. Maximum projection for a true show-stopping moment.
There is no wrong answer. Choose the fantasy first, then let the numbers confirm it. If you wear hip pads, keep your overall silhouette in mind so everything stays in proportion.
Step 2: Take Your Measurements
Grab a soft tape measure and something to write with. The diagram below labels each measurement A through D.
A. Neck. Measure around the base of your neck, then subtract one inch. The silicone has some give, so this keeps the neckline snug. Measuring 16 inches? Order a 15 inch neck. Between sizes? Round up first, then subtract.
B. Hollow of neck to nipple line. Find the small hollow at the base of your throat and measure straight down to where the nipple line will sit.
C. Hollow of neck to bottom of plate. From the same hollow, measure down to where you want the plate to end on your torso.
D. Chest width. Measure straight across the full width of your chest, side to side.
Don't worry about bra size. We fit to your body, not a bra chart.
Step 3: Match Your Numbers to the Chart
Compare your width and length to each plate below. You don't need a perfect match. If you're within two to three inches on width and about an inch on length, you're in the right place.
| Plate | Width (in) | Length (in) | Protrusion (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| B Cup | 11 | 11.5 | 3.5 |
| C Cup | 12.5 | 9 | 3 |
| D Cup | 13 | 9 | 3.5 |
| DD Classic | 14 | 10 | 4.5 |
| DD Cup | 15 | 11.5 | 5 |
| RuPaul | 15.5 | 11 | 4.5 |
| G Cup | 17.5 | 13 | 6.5 |
| XXL | 20 | 12 | 4.5 |
