Size Guide

Every Brighton Lace design fits a little differently, so each style has its own size chart. You'll find it on every product page, just above the Add to Cart button. This page brings them all together, with tips on finding your fit.

Not sure of your size? Measure first

How to measure your bra size: measure your underband snugly just under your bust, then measure around the fullest part of your bust

Lots of us have been wearing the wrong bra size for years without realising. Bodies change, and sizing varies from brand to brand. It only takes two minutes with a tape measure, and it's the best way to find a bra that really fits.

Measure your underband (snugly around your ribcage, just under your bust) and your bust (around the fullest part, keeping the tape level and close to your body without pulling it tight). Then send us both numbers via Live Chat or in the notes at checkout, and we'll happily recommend your size.

Made to measure, at no extra cost

We can make it to measure. Because everything is handmade to order in our Hastings studio, we can custom make most of our designs to fit you, at no extra cost.

If you're between sizes, outside our size range, or just want the perfect fit, write your bra size or your underband and bust measurements in the notes at checkout. Or message us on Live Chat first and we'll talk it through.

Ellie Original and Ellie Curvy

The Ellie comes in standard bra sizes. The Ellie Curvy is the Ellie redesigned for a fuller bust.

Cup size UK band Design
A-B 30-38 Ellie Original
C-D 30-38 Ellie Original
DD-E 30-38 Either design
F-FF 30-36 Ellie Curvy
G-GG 30-36 Ellie Curvy

If you're a DD-E cup, you can choose either design. The Ellie Curvy is specially designed to be more supportive for a fuller bust. A 28 or 40 band, or between sizes? We'll make it to measure at no extra cost.

Tiger Lily and Longline bralettes

Designed for a smaller bust, with minimal support. Not recommended above a D cup.

Size UK band Cup
Small 30-32 A-B
Medium 32-34 C-D
  • Between sizes (for example 32C): choose Medium.
  • Small band, bigger cup (for example 30C): we'll custom make it with a small band and medium cup.
  • Outside the range (for example 36D): we'll custom make it to your measurements.
  • D cup or above but love this look? Try the Triangle bralette. It has built-in elastics for more support, in the same triangle shape.
Triangle bralette
Size UK band Cup
Small 30-32 A-B
Medium 32-34 C-D
Large 34-36 DD-E
Extra Large 36-38 E-F

Not quite fitting these sizes? We very often custom make the Triangle to fit, at no extra cost. Just send us your underband and bust measurements.

Plunge and Sweetheart bralettes

A clever design: the curve in the plunge works beautifully on a smaller bust, yet gives a surprising amount of support to a fuller bust too. The Sweetheart is sized exactly like the Plunge. Neither suits a completely flat chest, so sizes start at a B cup and go up to an E cup.

Size UK band Cup
Small 30-32 B-C
Medium 34-36 D-E

A 30D still fits the Small. A 30E: we'd suggest a custom make, with a small band and medium cup. A 36B: the Medium should still work well.

Scoop and Tulip bralettes

This includes the organic cotton Tulips and the Cashmere Tulip.

Size UK band Cup
Small 30-32 A-B
Medium 34-36 C-D
Large 36-38 E-F

A forgiving design that easily spans a couple of sizes, so if you're a DD, go with whichever feels right for your shape (Medium or Large).

The Leo bralette (mesh and cashmere)

The Leo fits differently from the lace Scoop and goes up to a Medium.

Size UK band Cup
Small 30-32 A-B
Medium 34-36 C-D

DD or bigger? We'll custom make it at no extra cost.

Lou Lou halter

One size, 8-12 UK, thanks to the adjustable ties at the neck and back. Need a larger size? Just message us and we'll happily make one for you.
