Model wearing the new Elomi Reja plunge bra in Fig

Fresh in and fabulous: the Elomi Reja plunge bra in rich, berry-toned Fig.

First things first: Elomi sizing

Good news: Elomi keeps things simple with UK band and cup sizing. Bras come in band sizes 32 to 48 and cup sizes D to KK, with many styles going up to a K cup. And to finish the look, matching briefs come in sizes S to 4XL.

Each style has its own size range, so pop over to the product page to see the sizes for your favourite.

Are you wearing the right size?

Here's a surprising one: Elomi notes that around 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Eek! Our bodies change all the time, so it's worth checking your size every six months. Your boobs will thank you.

Shopping from abroad? Size swaps made easy

The five-second fit check (well, five steps!)

Pop your new bra on, stand in front of the mirror and run through these five quick checks.

Here's what a good fit looks like (and what it doesn't!) πŸ‘‡

Elomi good fit v bad fit, part 1: the underband should sit firm and level around your ribcage, not ride up your back

Elomi good fit v bad fit, part 2: the centre front should sit flat against your chest bone and the cups should fully enclose your breasts with no spilling

1. Centre front

The centre front is where the two cups join. It should sit flat and snug against your breastbone, with no digging in.

2. Underband

Your band does most of the hard work, so it should sit firmly and level all the way round. You should be able to slide two fingers under it, but not pull it more than two inches away from your body.

3. Cups

Your cups should hold you beautifully, with no spilling over the top and no gaping at the sides.

4. Straps

Straps should feel comfy and secure. If you can fit more than two fingers underneath, give them a little tighten.

5. Underwire

The wires should sit comfortably under your bust and lie flat against your chest. No poking allowed!

Quick fit fixes

  • Band riding up at the back? Your back size is too big, so try a smaller band.
  • Band digging in? Try loosening it, or go up a back size.
  • Spilling over the cups? Go up a cup size.
  • Loose fabric in the cups, even though your bust is fully enclosed? Go down a cup size.
  • Straps digging in or leaving marks? Loosen them.
  • Wires sitting away from your chest or digging in at the sides? The cups are too small, so go up a cup size.

Your questions, answered

What sizes does Elomi make?

Elomi comes in band sizes 32–48 and cup sizes D–KK, with briefs in S–4XL. Every style has its own size range.

Does Elomi use UK sizing?

Yes. Elomi lingerie uses UK band and cup sizing. If you normally shop in another country's sizes, use the conversion tables above.

Is Elomi swimwear sized the same as the lingerie?

Yes. Elomi swimwear uses UK cup and band sizing and is designed to fit just like the lingerie.

How often should I get measured?

Every six months is a great rule of thumb. Think of it as a little treat for your boobs.

My band rides up. What should I do?

A band that rides up at the back means the back size is too big, so try a smaller back size.
