How to Find Your True Lingerie Size (and Avoid Common Fit Mistakes)

Finding the Perfect Fit Starts with You

At Dainty Lace, we design lingerie with coverage, comfort, and confidence in mind, designed by women, for women, so you can feel beautiful and supported in every piece you choose. The perfect fit isn’t numbers, it’s how you feel in your body.

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Yourself (Without Stress)

1. Arm Yourself with Soft Tools
   Use a flexible measuring tape — the kind you’d use on a dress form. It’s lighter, more comfortable, and accurate.

2. Bust & Underbust Measurements

   • Underbust: Wrap the tape snugly just beneath your bust.

   • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, with a relaxed posture, and wearing a non-padded bra if possible.

3. Check Against Our Size Chart
   Head over to our Size Chart page under “Learn Lingerie” for easy-to-follow size guidance.

4. Know Your Shape & Fit Needs
   We strive for inclusivity and currently offer sizes XS to 2XL! At Dainty Lace, we welcome all body types with model-free, high-coverage designs that support and celebrate you.

3 Common Fit Mistakes — and How to Avoid Them

Mistake #1: Using Numbers Alone
Every body is unique. Size charts are a helpful guide, but don’t sacrifice comfort for the “right” number. If in doubt, size up for better coverage and confidence.

Mistake #2: Not Checking Stretch or Fabric Type
Some of our pieces, like The Cami, offer subtle stretch and structure to flatter and smooth comfortably. A snug fit in a rigid fabric isn’t always ideal.

Mistake #3: Ignoring How the Piece Should Feel
When you try something on:

• The band should lie flat and feel secure, but not so tight that it pinches.

• The neckline and camisole should lay softly without pulling.

• The coverage should feel graceful and not ride up.

Your Guide to an Empowered, Confident Fit

• Start with comfort and know Dainty Lace values how you feel, not measurements.

• Use our size chart as a tool not a rule.

• Mind fabric stretch, our designs often combine delicate lace with structure for ease and confidence.

• Trust your instincts, a confident fit is meant to support not squeeze.
