Sizing Guide

Find your perfect fit

Finding your size should feel simple. This guide walks you through how to measure and understand your fit, so your pieces feel effortless, comfortable, and truly yours.

Bra and Bralette Sizing 

Step 1: Measure Your Underbust

Using a soft measuring tape, measure firmly around your ribcage directly under your bust. Keep the tape level and snug.

Underbust  Band Size 
68–72 cm 32
73–77 cm 34
78–82 cm 36
83–87 cm 38
88–92 cm 40

 

Step 2: Measure Your Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a non-padded bra. Keep the tape relaxed and level across your back. Wearing a cami or soft bralette is best.

Step 3: Find Your Cup Size

Subtract your underbust measurement from your bust measurement.

 Difference  Cup Size 
1.3 - 3.8 CM  A
3.8 - 6.3 CM  B
6.3 - 9 CM C
9-11.5 CM D
11.5 - 14 CM  DD

Example

Underbust: 80 cm
Bust: 93 cm

Difference: 13 cm
Size: 36D

If you fall between measurements, round to the nearest number.

Bralette Sizing

Sea Lemon bralettes are designed to be soft and flexible, and are sized using a simple small-to-large system.

Bra Size   Bralette Size 
32A - 32C / 34A  Small
32D / 34B–34C Medium 
34D / 36B–36C Large

Knickers & Garter Belt Sizing 

 

How to Measure for Knickers & Garter Belts

Using a soft measuring tape, measure around the fullest part of your hips. This is usually around the centre of your bottom, approximately 20 cm below your natural waistline.

Keep the tape level and relaxed, not tight against the body.

If you fall between measurements, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.

Waist Measurement  Hip Measurement  Size  
65 - 68 cm 87 - 90 cm X-Small
69 - 72 cm 91 - 94 cm Small
73 - 76 cm  95 - 98 cm Medium 
77 - 80 cm 99 - 102 cm Large
81 - 84 cm  103 - 106 cm X-Large

 

Our pieces are designed to sit comfortably against the body without digging in. If you prefer a slightly more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.

Each Sea Lemon piece is made in small batches and designed to move comfortably with your body.

Find your fit, then make it yours

Once you’ve found your measurements, choosing your piece becomes effortless. Our intimates are designed to follow your natural shape, soft, supportive, and made to feel like your own skin.

  • A Gentle Revolution in Lace and Comfort

    We believe in wearing beautiful things for you. In choosing pieces that spark joy, feel soft on the skin, and remind you that confidence can start from the inside out. Sea Lemon was created with the dream of making women feel held, seen, and celebrated in their own skin — every curve, every edge, every day.
    As the founder, I started this brand after years of wearing intimates that never felt quite right — too structured, too padded, too much about someone else’s idea of beauty. I wanted something softer. Lingerie that felt effortless and empowering. Sea Lemon pieces are delicate, breathable, and thoughtfully handmade — designed to bring comfort, confidence, and a quiet kind of magic to your everyday.

  • Consciously Created, Always.

    Every Sea Lemon piece is handmade with intention — sewn, trimmed, and packaged in our studio with care and respect for both the body and the planet. We work in small, made-to-order batches, which means we only create what’s needed. This slow approach to production allows us to minimize waste and stay true to what matters: quality, integrity, and a gentler environmental footprint.
    Many of our trims — like straps, scalloped elastics, and closures — are hand-dyed by a female-run business that uses water-saving methods and sustainable dye practices. Our cotton thread is sourced locally from a South African supplier whose factory runs on renewable energy. Even our care labels are made by a small, female-owned business in the North West province. And because we haven’t yet found a fully sustainable off-cut recycling partner, we’re holding onto every scrap until we do — because every choice counts.
    Being an ethical brand isn’t just a feature. It’s the foundation.
  • For Every Body, With Care.

    We know that no two bodies are the same — and lingerie should never be “one size fits all.” Every Sea Lemon pattern is developed in South Africa with thoughtful attention to shape, softness, and real-life wear. Our goal is to create pieces that honour your natural form and feel as good as they look.
    Because finding the right fit can be tricky, we’ve created an easy-to-follow sizing guide to help you feel confident in your choice. And if your perfect fit isn’t listed? Reach out — we’d love to craft something just for you. Your body is welcome here, exactly as it is.
