Empreinte Bra Size Chart & Sizing
French luxury built for the full bust: cups from C to H with real structure: the house UK-brand wearers turn to for lace.
Empreinte in numbers
Empreinte is the French exception: a luxury house whose whole range is graded for fuller busts, with wide, supportive wires and seamed lace cups. If UK full-bust brands fit but you want French lace, this is where fitters send you.
Your measured size in Empreinte
How this is computed: your US size converted into FR / ES notation, then adjusted for how Empreinte typically grades: true bands, true cups.
Where Empreinte sits on the size grid
Cups C–H (EU letters). Not every band–cup combination exists; the largest cups usually appear on mid-range bands only.
Best for:
- Full-bust luxury lace
- Seamed support with structure

Coverage is approximate to the brand's core collections; the largest cups typically exist on mid-range bands only. Convert US DDD → EU F before reading.
Does Empreinte run small or big?
Empreinte bands run true to size across French bands 80–110: start with your measured band on the loosest hook, and expect it to feel snug for the first week if you are coming from an add-inches size.
Empreinte cups grade true to the measured difference from C to H: a gap or overflow in the measured letter is a shape signal, so change the cut before the size.
Empreinte wires run wide: good for wide-root and shallow shapes; narrow roots may find the wire ending under the arm. Straps: Wide.
