Does Maidenform run small or big?
Maidenform bands run true to size across US bands 32–42: 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.
Maidenform cups grade true to the measured difference from A to DD: a gap or overflow in the measured letter is a shape signal, so change the cut before the size.
Maidenform wires are average width for the US system. Straps: Standard.
