How to Find Your Perfect Bra Size on SKIMS: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hi everyone! Last week I saw a video that inspired today's post about how to find your bra size. I get a bit overwhelmed when I have to order a bra online or even in a physical shop because I don't know what's my best bra size. So, I started wearing a bralette to eliminate the underwire pain and the compressing feeling I had from the padded cups.
I still love beautiful bras but have given up on finding my ideal size until now.
So, today, I'm going to measure myself with you to find the bra size I would purchase online from SKIMS.
Why Knowing Your Bra Size Matters
Finding the right bra isn’t just about comfort—it’s about confidence, posture, and how your clothes fit. SKIMS has revolutionized shapewear and bras with a focus on inclusive sizing, but even the best designs need a properly measured fit. Wearing the correct size ensures you feel elegant, supported, and perfectly poised in every outfit, whether it’s a crisp white shirt, a summer dress, or your favorite high-waist jeans.
Step 1: Measure Your Band Size
Start by measuring around your ribcage, just under your bust. Make sure the tape is snug but not tight, and that it sits level around your body. SKIMS recommends rounding to the nearest whole number. If your measurement is even, that’s your band size. If it’s odd, round up to the following even number. This number is the foundation of your fit—think of it as the base of your outfit, supporting everything above it.
Step 2: Measure Your Bust
Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape comfortably level. Don’t compress your chest—let it sit naturally. This measurement will help determine your cup size.
Then, you go to the SKIMS size calculator and insert your measurements. Here you have your bra size! I have 40D.
Step 3: Consider the Style
SKIMS offers different bra styles—from bralettes to full-coverage bras. While your measurement gives a solid starting point, the style influences the final feel. For instance, bralettes often provide a lighter lift, whereas full-coverage bras offer more structure. Always check the product description and reviews for insight into how each style fits in real life.
Step 4: Adjust for Comfort and Support
Even after measuring, your ideal size might vary slightly based on personal preference—some like a snugger fit for extra support, others a more relaxed feel. Don’t be afraid to try one size up or down to find your perfect match—SKIMS’ flexible sizing makes this easy.
