Lingerie size guide: how to find your correct size

Why the size chart matters more than the label you usually wear

One of the most common mistakes when buying lingerie is relying only on “your” usual size. In practice, the fit can vary from one brand to another, so it is more reliable to use your current measurements and the specific lingerie size chart.

On the Anabel Arto website, you can find separate size charts for bras and knickers, as well as international size equivalents. This allows you to choose lingerie not by guesswork, but by a clear system.

How to find your bra size correctly

To understand how to choose the right bra size, you need to take two key measurements. The first is the bust measurement around the fullest part of the bust. The second is the underbust measurement, which forms the basis of the size.

Anabel Arto bras use the combination of these measurements to determine the size. The difference between them affects the cup volume, while the underbust measurement affects how firmly the bra fits.

It is important to measure the body without pulling the tape too tightly. If the measurements are inaccurate, the bra will either fail to support properly or start to dig in and shift.

How to find your knicker size without mistakes

The question of how to find your knicker size is simpler, but it still requires accuracy. The main measurement is the hip circumference.

Anabel Arto provides charts where knicker sizes are matched to specific measurement ranges. This helps avoid the situation where a style looks right visually but turns out to be uncomfortable when worn.

Knickers that are too small create unnecessary lines and pressure. Knickers that are too large lose their shape and do not sit on the body as they should.

How to read a size chart

To use a lingerie size chart correctly, it is important to start with centimetres rather than letter sizes. Sizes such as S, M or L are the result of the match, not the starting point for choosing.

Anabel Arto presents women’s lingerie sizes with a clear link to body measurements. This makes it easier to choose more accurately, especially when shopping online.

If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider the cut. More elastic styles may adapt better, while firmer styles require a more exact size match.

Why the right size means comfort

Size affects not only the look, but also the way lingerie feels. The wrong size quickly makes itself known: it digs in, slips down or needs constant adjusting.

Anabel Arto offers both basic styles and seamless solutions, but any of them will work properly only with the right fit. It is the lingerie size that determines whether the piece will remain comfortable throughout the day.

How to check that you have chosen the right size

Even after choosing by the chart, it is important to assess the fit. The bra should not ride up at the back, and the cup should not press in or gape. Knickers should sit smoothly, without folds or pressure.

If the lingerie is not noticeable when you move and does not need constant attention, the size has been chosen correctly. This is the main criterion, and it matters more than any label.

Summary

To understand how to find your lingerie size, it is important to rely on measurements rather than familiar sizes. First, take your measurements, then compare them with the chart, and only after that assess the fit.

Anabel Arto offers clear size charts and different lingerie categories, which makes it easier to choose for specific needs. When the size is right, lingerie stops being a compromise and becomes the foundation of comfort and confidence.
