Quick answer
To find your perfect Posie bralette size, take your underbust and overbust measurements, then use the Angela Friedman size chart. This guide walks you through each step, highlighting common fit mistakes to avoid.
Why the Posie bralette fits differently
The Posie bralette is a semi-sheer mesh cup style with floral embroidery and silk trims. Unlike underwired bras, it relies on a snug band and stretchy mesh for support. Because it has no underwire, the band does most of the work, so getting the underbust measurement right is critical. The silk trim adds a delicate finish but does not provide structure, so do not expect it to lift or shape like a padded bra.
How to find your Posie bralette size
- Measure your underbust: Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Keep the tape level and tight enough that it doesn't slide down. Write down the measurement in inches. A common mistake is measuring too loosely. The band should feel firm but not dig in.
- Measure your overbust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the floor. Do not pull it tight. This gives you your cup size reference. If your bust is fuller on one side, use the larger measurement.
- Check the size chart: Compare your underbust measurement to the Angela Friedman size chart to find your band size. Then use the difference between your overbust and underbust to determine your cup size. The Posie bralette is designed for a snug band fit, so if you are between band sizes, choose the smaller one. Do not size up in the band for comfort — a loose band will cause the straps to slip and reduce support.
- Try it on and adjust the straps: Put on the bralette and fasten it on the loosest hook. The band should stay parallel to the floor and not ride up. Adjust the straps so they lie flat without digging in. The mesh cups should fully cover your breast tissue without gaping at the top. If the cups gape, the band may be too large or the cup size too big. If there is spillage, the cup size may be too small.
- Check the band fit after wearing: Wear the bralette for 10-15 minutes. The band should remain comfortably snug without leaving red marks. If it shifts or feels too tight, revisit your underbust measurement and try a different band size. Silk trims can soften with wear, so a slightly snug band on the loosest hook is ideal for longevity.

Posie bralette: The Posie bralette features semi-sheer mesh cups with colorful flower embroidery and bright coral silk trims. The semi-sheer mesh means the cup size is less forgiving than a padded style, so accurate measurement is essential to avoid gaping or spillage.
