Story:
"Respecting Our Elders" (NAIDOC 2023)
“Our Ancestors left paintings on the wall for 65,000 years to pass the stories and knowledge to the younger generation today, and to the Elders that pass it onto the younger generation. All handed down from generation to generation. It’s all about respecting our Elders. They're the ones who put the food on the table, the ones who taught us our right and wrongs.”
At the top are cave paintings from a sacred site. They taught us how to go hunting, how to look for animal tracks and water. At the bottom we have a hunter and a gatherer, using the knowledge.
On the sides are circles representing different communities and tribes, all gathered around two tall figures, the Elders. The Elders on each side are looking over the central community: parents and grandparents who are looking over children and grandchildren. All gathered together with the Elders as the Ancestors look over everyone.” - Charlie Chambers Jnr.
Follow the steps below to find your under bust size (Number).
Measure firmly around your chest and let the measuring tape rest just under your bust, ensuring that the tape is lying straight across your back.
The under bust measurement will be your band size (Number).
If you measure between sizes, it is advisable to go up or down to the closest size number.

Measure the bust line at the fullest part of your chest as firmly as you can, without changing the shape of your breasts.
Subtract the under bust measurement from the over bust measurement.
Find where the result (Difference calculated) lies within the chart below and the corresponding size will be your cup size (Letter).

Sunflair, Sunmarin, Opera & Olympia swimwear do not come in double sizes or larger than a H cup.
It is advisable to go up or down to the single (Letter) cup size for these brands. As swimwear stretches, the cup size does not need to be as precise as your bra.
Hip Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
