How to Pick the Right Agent Provocateur Size

- Because Agent Provocateur runs small, size UP one cup from your measurement (e.g. measured 34C → buy 34D).
- Try the bra on the loosest hook for the first 2–3 weeks of wear.
- Test the fit using the band test (two fingers under) and cup test (no spillage, no gap).
