For your new favorite lingerie from AVÉLIE Lingerie to fit like a second skin and perfectly accentuate your curves, the right measurements are crucial. Take a moment and grab a flexible tape measure.

Here, we'll show you step-by-step how to easily and precisely measure your bust, underbust, waist, and hip circumference:

1. Underbust Circumference (Important for Bras & Bralettes)

Measure directly on bare skin, just below your bust. Exhale completely. The tape measure should be straight and snug against your body, but not constricting.

Our Expert Tip: Since bra bands are elastic and stretch slightly when worn, subtract approximately 5 cm from your measured value.
Example: Measured underbust circumference 78 cm – 5 cm = your guide value is 73 cm.

2. Bust Circumference (Important for Bras, Tops & Pyjamas)

Measure at the fullest part of your bust – this is usually at nipple level. You can take this measurement bare or in a very thin, unpadded T-shirt. Make sure to hold the tape measure loosely and not flatten your breasts when measuring.

3. Waist Circumference (Important for Trousers & Waist Belts)

Stand upright and measure at the narrowest part of your upper body. This is usually a little above your belly button. Exhale comfortably and measure before the next inhale. Very important: Do not tense your muscles or pull in your stomach – for an absolutely comfortable fit in everyday life.

4. Hip Circumference (Important for Briefs, Brazilians & Garter Belts)

Stand with your feet together on the floor. Now, run the tape measure horizontally around the widest part of your buttocks or at the level of the front pelvic bone. The tape should be snug against your body but still leave enough room for comfortable movement.

Now simply use your determined values to find your exact size in our tables. If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger option for maximum comfort.
