Shopping for lingerie should feel empowering—not confusing. The right fit enhances comfort, boosts confidence, and ensures your lingerie looks as good as it feels. Here’s a complete guide to mastering your perfect lingerie size.
Why Sizing Matters
Too tight and you’re uncomfortable. Too loose and you lose the support. Proper lingerie sizing ensures your bras lift, panties stay in place, and bodysuits fit like a dream. Getting it right makes all the difference.
How to Measure Yourself at Home
All you need is a measuring tape, a mirror, and a few quick steps:
- Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust.
- Underbust: Measure directly under your bust for bra band size.
- Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your torso.
- Hips: Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Write these down and compare with Shamelace’s detailed size chart.

Tips for Getting the Best Fit
- Always try on lingerie in front of a mirror.
- Check if the straps dig in or the band rides up—it means it’s not the right size.
- Don’t forget that your size can shift with weight changes, pregnancy, or aging—re-measure every few months.
