Have you ever tried on a bra from a new brand and found that your usual size doesn’t fit? If you’ve experienced this before, you might find it useful to understand sister sizes, which can help guide you towards a more comfortable fitting bra size. Keep reading if you’re a 54 bra band size!
What Are Sister Bra Sizes?
Sister sizes are the bra sizes that surround your usual bra size. This might mean changing your cup size, band size, or both.
When you try on a new bra and it doesn’t fit, this could be down to any number of reasons, including a new brand or a new style of bra. Understanding your sister sizes will help you make an informed choice as to which other sizes you should try on to achieve the perfect fit.
You can read more about sister sizes in our What Are Sister Bra Sizes blog.

How to Find Your Sister Bra Size
When you’ve located your current bra size on the chart, you’ll be able to read across and discover your sister sizes. There is an option to size up, if the bra you’re trying on feels too small, and an option to size down, if the bra you’re trying on feels too big.
If you go up in band size, you may need to go down in cup size. If you go down in band size, you may need to choose a higher cup size. This is just a guide - please note that sister sizing can be quite complicated as you may need to adjust both the cup size and the band size to get the best fit.
Sister sizes can be other sizes that surround the initial size. Take a look at our example chart based on UK sizing.
