Omega Underwire
This is a specialty underwire designed for larger busts. These wires are very tall and narrow (similar in concept to our Bliss underwire, but more exaggerated in shape). These are ideal in custom bra-making for clients who have larger busts and need much taller and longer wires than the classic styles.
Charts for all underwire styles here:
- Made from 24 gauge flat steel wire (Nickel Free & PET coated)
- Can be used in bras/lingerie and swimwear
- Coloured tip is the centre front
*Make sure to print at actual size, or 100% scaling. Test for accurate size with the ruler located on each chart.

Find Your Bra & Underwire Size
*This Size Guide and Emerald Erin Patterns use UK Bra Sizing
1. Find Your Band Size
Measure directly under your bust, holding the tape measure snug. If using cm, convert the measurement to inches. Round this number to the closest even number, rounding up if you are directly in between. This is your band size.
2. Find Your Cup Size
Measure over the fullest point of your bust, be sure not to pull the tape measure tight. If using cm, convert the measurement to inches. Subtract your band size, from your full bust measurement. Each inch of difference equals 1 cup size.
E.G. 40(full bust measurement) - 36(band size) = 4 (D cup)
3. Find Your Bra Size
Put your band size and cup size together to get your bra size.
E.G. 36D
4. Find Your Underwire Size
If your bra style includes an underwire, consult this wire chart to find the standard size of wire for your bra size.
E.G. 36D = 40 underwire
