Lingerie Size & Fit Guide – How to Measure Your Bra Size Correctly

Finding the perfect bra is not just about looks — it’s about feeling confident, comfortable, and supported all day long. At SESI Style, we believe that every woman deserves lingerie that fits like a second skin. Unfortunately, studies show that more than 80% of women wear the wrong bra size — leading to discomfort, poor posture, and even health issues.

That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you understand your bra size, how to measure it at home, and how to make sure your SESI Style lingerie fits like it was made just for you.

🌸 Why Getting the Right Bra Size Matters

Before we dive into the how-to, let’s talk about why your bra size matters:

• ✅ Better Support – Prevents back, shoulder, and neck pain.
• ✅ Comfort All Day Long – No more digging straps or poking underwires.
• ✅ Improved Shape & Posture – Enhances your natural silhouette.
• ✅ Boost in Confidence – Feel sexy, stylish, and supported — always.
• ✅ Lingerie Longevity – A proper fit reduces wear and tear on your bras.

📏 What You’ll Need to Measure at Home

You can measure your bra size at home in under 5 minutes using just two items:

• A soft measuring tape (inches or centimeters)
• A mirror (optional, but helpful)

Tip: Wear a lightly lined, non-padded bra for the most accurate measurement.

🧷 Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Bra Size

Bra sizes have two components: band size (number) and cup size (letter). Here’s how to get both:

✨ Step 1: Measure Your Band Size (Underbust)

1. Stand up straight and wrap the measuring tape around your ribcage, just under your bust.
2. Make sure the tape is snug and level all the way around.
3. Round to the nearest whole number.

📌 If you get an even number, that’s your band size.
📌 If you get an odd number, round up to the next even number.

Example:
Measured underbust = 31 inches → Band size = 32

✨ Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size (Overbust)

1. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust (usually across your nipples).
2. Keep the tape straight, but not tight — it should sit comfortably.
3. Round to the nearest whole number.

Example:
Measured bust = 36 inches

✨ Step 3: Calculate Cup Size

Now subtract your band size from your bust measurement:

Bust – Band = Cup Difference

Example:
Bust = 36 inches
Band = 32 inches
Difference = 4 inches → Cup Size = D

✅ Bra Size = 32D

👗 Lingerie Fit Guide – How Should Your Bra Fit?

✅ Band Fit

• Should sit level across your back.
• Snug but not tight — you should be able to fit two fingers underneath.
• Most of the support comes from the band, not the straps!

✅ Cup Fit

• Your breasts should be fully enclosed in the cups.
• No spillage from the top, sides, or bottom.
• No gaping or wrinkling — the cup should lay flat against your chest.

✅ Straps Fit

• Should rest comfortably on your shoulders.
• Not too tight (digging in) or too loose (slipping off).
• Adjust straps regularly for best support.

✅ Center Gore Fit

• The center panel between the cups should lay flat against your chest.
• If it’s lifting off, your cup size may be too small.

👩‍🦱 Common Signs You’re Wearing the Wrong Bra Size

• Your band rides up your back
• Shoulder straps dig in
• Cup spillage or gaping
• Underwire pokes or shifts
• Constant need to adjust
• Back or shoulder pain

If you recognize any of these, it’s time to re-measure.

👚 Care Tips for Lingerie Longevity

• 🧼 Hand wash in cold water or use a lingerie bag in the machine.
• 🚫 Avoid bleach, wringing, or hot dryers.
• 🧺 Lay flat to dry to maintain elasticity.
• 🔁 Rotate bras — don’t wear the same one two days in a row.

💡 Bonus Fit Tips from SESI Style Stylists

• Measure yourself every 6-12 months — body changes are normal!
• Try bras on at the loosest hook — you can tighten as the elastic relaxes over time.
• Don’t settle — if it’s uncomfortable, it’s not your size!
• Read SESI Style product reviews — our community often shares helpful sizing advice.

🔍 FAQs: Bra Size & Fit

❓ Can I wear the same size across all brands?

Not always. Different brands have slightly different sizing charts. Always refer to the SESISTYLE.COM guide when shopping our collections.

❓ What if I’m between sizes?

Try both sizes or opt for adjustable styles like bralettes or sports bras with removable padding.

❓ My bra fits but still feels uncomfortable. Why?

It could be the style, not the size. Try switching between padded, non-wired, or wider bands depending on your comfort needs.
