Finding the right size can feel like a guessing game. Between different brands, styles, and fit guides, it is no wonder so many women end up with bralettes that feel too tight, too loose, or just off.
We are here to help you skip the confusion and find a fit that feels like it was made for you.
Because comfort starts with sizing that actually respects your body.
How to Measure Yourself for a Bralette
Before you start clicking “Add to Cart,” grab a measuring tape. Here is how to get your most accurate measurements:
Step 1: Measure your band size
Wrap the tape snugly around your ribcage, right under your bust. Keep it parallel to the floor.
- If you get an odd number, round up to the nearest even number.
- Example: If you measure 33 inches, round up to 34.
Step 2: Measure your bust size
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Keep it comfortably snug, not tight.
Step 3: Find your cup size
Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement.
- 1 inch difference = A cup
- 2 inches = B cup
- 3 inches = C cup
- 4 inches = D cup
- 5 inches = DD/E cup
Example:
Band: 34 inches
Bust: 37 inches
Difference: 3 inches
Cup Size: C
Bra Size: 34C
This is your starting point.
What If I’m Between Sizes?
You are not alone. Most women fall between sizes, and it depends on how you like your fit:
- Want a relaxed, lounge feel? Size up.
- Prefer a snug, supportive fit? Size down.
If you are unsure, order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t feel right.
How Should a Bralette Fit?
The Band
Should feel secure but never dig in. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably underneath.
The Straps
Should sit flat on your shoulders without slipping or cutting in.
The Cups
Should contain your bust without overflow or gaping.
The Feel
You should forget you are wearing it within a few minutes. That is the ultimate sign of a good fit.
Special Notes for EBY Bralettes
Because EBY bralettes are designed with stretch and flexibility, many women find they can size down for more hold or size up for a softer, relaxed fit.
- If you prefer more coverage, go with your regular bra size or size up.
- If you want a little more lift, try one size down.
- If you are between band sizes, choose the larger band for comfort.
Remember, our styles are wire-free, so they naturally feel more forgiving than a traditional bra.
What About Larger Busts?
If you are a D cup or higher, bralettes can still be your everyday go-to. Look for:
- Wide bands that anchor without rolling
- Full-coverage cups to prevent spillage
- Adjustable straps to customize fit
Explore the EBY Bralettes Collection to see styles designed for all sizes.
Tips for Trying On at Home
- Try it on over clean skin with no oils or lotions.
- Adjust the band and straps before you decide.
- Move around. Stretch. Lift your arms. If it stays in place, you are good.
- Trust how it feels. If you are constantly adjusting, try a different size.
