Csiri Bra Fit Guide

Use this guide to understand how our bra calculator works, how to measure correctly, and what to do if a bra feels off after you try it on.

How to measure your bra correctly

  • Underbust: wrap the tape directly under the breasts, around the ribcage. Keep it level all around and snug, not painful.
  • Bust: measure around the fullest part of the bust. Keep the tape level and not overly tight.
  • Stand naturally: don’t puff your chest too much or pull the tape too tightly.
  • Use a non-padded bra if possible: heavily padded bras can distort the fullest-bust measurement.
  • If between numbers: use the calculator result as your starting point, then confirm by fit.

How our calculator works

  • Your underbust helps determine your band size.
  • The difference between your bust and your band helps determine your cup size.
  • We then convert that size into UK, US, EU / CN, and FR.
  • For Chinese-made bras, we also show a fit alternate because some imported bras run small in the cup.
Example:
If your result is UK 34D, your direct EU / CN size is 75D.
If the cup feels small in a Chinese-made bra, try 75E.

Quick bra measurement guide

Step What to measure How to do it Important tip
1 Underbust Measure snugly around the ribcage directly under the bust. Keep the tape straight and level all around.
2 Full bust Measure around the fullest part of the bust. Do not squeeze the bust flat with the tape.
3 Calculator result The calculator uses the difference between bust and band to estimate your cup. This is your starting size, not always the final fit.
4 Try-on check Check band, cups, straps, and center gore after wearing the bra. Different brands and styles can fit differently.

This chart is a quick guide. Your calculator result is more accurate than choosing by chart alone.

Signs your bra fits well

  • The band sits level around your body and does most of the support work.
  • The center gore lies flat against the chest.
  • Your breasts sit inside the cups without spilling over the top or sides.
  • The cups do not wrinkle or gape excessively.
  • The straps feel secure without carrying all the weight.

Signs something is off

  • Overflow / spillage: the cup is likely too small.
  • Gaping: the cup may be too large or the style may not suit the breast shape.
  • Band riding up at the back: the band may be too loose.
  • Underwire sitting on breast tissue: the cup is likely too small or the bra shape is wrong.
  • Straps digging in: the band may not be giving enough support.

What to do if the calculator size does not feel right

Example:
If the calculator gives UK 34D and the band feels right but the cup feels tight, try:
Chinese / EU alternative: 75E

Tip: if you already own a bra that fits you really well, using that label size in the calculator can be just as useful as fresh measurements.
