Shoe size may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Fit is tested using size 8-8.5 shoe. Recommendations to order smaller or larger shoe will be visible on description (e.g., "runs narrow; order 1/2 size up.")
HOW TO MEASURE SHOE SIZE LENGTH: Place ruler on the ground, perpendicular to the wall, so the '0' is against the wall. In bare feet, step on the ruler, with the back of your heel against the wall. The measurement taken at the longest part of your foot determines your shoe size.
HOW TO MEASURE SHOE SIZE WIDTH: With the ruler in the same position, step with your bare foot onto the ruler - this time with the outside of your foot touching the wall. The measurement taken at the widest part of your foot determines your shoe width.
HOW TO MEASURE HEEL HEIGHT: We measure from a size 8-8.5 shoe and will vary slightly depending on the size you order. The heel is measured up the center back of the heel to where it meets the sole. All measurements are approximate and rounded down to the nearest quarter inch.

I bought this top because I recently got my nipples pierced and I needed to wear a bra til they healed and this top was perfect for it ! Gave me the support I needed but not the discomfort that comes with bras. I’m 5’5, and i weight no more than 130 lbs. I’m always a small on Akira so sizing has always been just right for me. It has some stretch but not a lot.
I wish a bra could fit under this because it's not enough support for D+. However, it's really sexy!
Really like this top! I'm around a 34B and ordered the small and there isn't as much coverage around the sides of the top as I thought, so I might recommend sizing up because it's pretty snug. Just depends on how you want the top to fit cleavage wise!
Loved it! I’m a 32B and got a small and it fits perfect! Very cute and the material is great as well!
Akira is my go to store whenever I go out and they never disappoint! I can get an entire outfit from this place with the help of the amazing stylist working at each location! Thank you:)
