Our Bra Fit Guide

We believe that feeling confident and comfortable in your undies is a right, not a privilege, so we thought we'd give you a breakdown of our size guide, so it's even easier for you to find your perfect fit.

 

Undies that fit properly and make you feel good? That’s the best part of getting dressed. At least, we like to think so. That’s why we’ve written this ultimate guide to help you find your perfect Lemonade fit.

 

Your bra size is determined by the number and letter on the bra. The number is your band size, measured around your torso, and the letter is your cup size, which reflects how many inches larger your bust is compared to your band. So a size 34A refers to a bust that is one inch bigger than its rib cage; 34B is for a two inch bigger bust; 34C is a three inch bigger bust.

 

To find your measurements, first measure your torso under your bust and take note of the number (in inches). Then, measure your bust at its fullest part and subtract the band measurement from it. This will give you your cup size, and voila, you're ready to find your perfect fit!

 

Lemonade underwear fits true to size and runs from a UK size 6 to 24. However, our sizing works a little differently from traditional lingerie brands as we’ve always felt that a size 14 being equivalent to a Large was wrong on so many levels. In-fact, a size 14 is actually the UK average. So we’re rewriting the size guide for good; which is why we classify a size 14-16 as Medium.

Take a look at our size guide to find the right size for you.

If, for example, you normally wear 34B you will fit in our small bralette or medium if you want a looser fit. 

If, for example, you normally wear a 38F, you will fit our large Fuller Cup bra. Important thing to note, just because you have a larger bust does not mean that
you need our size large — the size is more relative to your dress size

 

To ensure the best fit, we recommend sizing up if you're between sizes.

 

Those 3 rows of hook and eyes that fasten a bra.. why 3? They're not for you
to make it as tight as possible or for show, there is a specific functional reason. Having 3 hook and eyes lengthens the lifetime of the garment.

When you first wear your new bra, you should be wearing it on the loosest hook and eye. If you find this is too loose you may need to size down.

Once you have worn the bra for a while, you may find that it starts to feel looser, this is when you need to move onto the next tightest hook and eye and so on. This means the garment will last longer by accounting for the natural changes to the elasticity of the elastane within the garment.

 

 

 

 

Straps digging in? The best fitting bras are the most comfortable. If you find that the straps are not giving you the support you need to feel limitless, it means that they are doing too much work. Most of the support should come from the band holding them up, only 20% of the support will come from the straps. You may want to size down if the straps are weighing you down. 

 

 

 

 

Band rolling up? If you find your bra band is rolling up and feels too tight, it may be time to go up a size. On the other hand, if the band is rolling up and feels too loose, it's likely not providing enough support and you should try going down a size.
