Quick Answer
To find your perfect Bare Cotton Bra size, measure your underbust and bust, then compare to the size chart. The bra is designed for a relaxed, barely-there fit, so consider sizing down if you prefer more support.
Why Sizing Matters for the Bare Cotton Bra
The Bare Cotton Bra is made from a lightweight, 100% cotton pointelle fabric that stretches slightly with wear. Unlike padded or structured bras, this style relies on the right size for comfort and coverage rather than underwire or foam. Getting the size right ensures you get the barely-there feel without gaps or slipping.
Because the fabric is buttery soft and meant to feel like you're wearing nothing, the fit is more forgiving than a traditional bra. However, if you're between sizes, you may want to go down for a snugger fit or up for a looser, more relaxed feel.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bare Cotton Bra Sizing
How do I measure for the Bare Cotton Bra?
Use a soft measuring tape. Measure your underbust directly under your breasts, keeping the tape snug but not tight. Then measure your bust at the fullest part. Subtract your underbust from your bust to find your cup size (1 inch = A, 2 inches = B, etc.). Compare your underbust measurement to the size chart to find your band size. Write down both numbers before checking the chart.
Should I size up or down for the Bare Cotton Bra?
The Bare Cotton Bra is designed for a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more supportive feel or are between band sizes, size down. If you want extra room or have a larger bust, size up for a looser fit. The cotton pointelle has some give, so a slightly smaller size still feels comfortable. Consider your desired level of coverage and support.
What if the band feels too loose or too tight?
A band that rides up means it's too loose—try a smaller band size. If the band digs in or leaves marks, go up a band size. The Bare Cotton Bra has no underwire, so the band should feel secure but not restrictive. Adjust the straps for a custom fit. The band should stay parallel to the ground without shifting.
Does the Bare Cotton Bra stretch out over time?
Yes, like most cotton garments, the fabric may relax slightly with wear and washing. To maintain the fit, wash in cold water and hang dry. If you notice stretching, you can try a smaller size next time or use the adjustability of the straps to tighten the fit. Proper care helps the bra keep its shape longer.
Can I wear the Bare Cotton Bra if I'm between cup sizes?
Absolutely. The unstructured design and stretchy cotton pointelle accommodate a range of cup sizes within each band size. If you're between cup sizes (e.g., between B and C), choose the larger cup for more coverage or the smaller for a more minimal look. The bra's flexibility makes it forgiving for most body types.
