Fit callouts worth noting
Bands relax quickly with wear
City Chic often uses soft elastics that ease up after a few wears, especially in wireless or lounge styles.
Try this:
Order your regular band and the sister size down so you can choose the secure feel you prefer.
Cups follow average depth
City Chic cups balance coverage and projection, suiting most shapes once the band feels secure.
Try this:
Stick to your known cup, adjusting only if style-specific feedback suggests otherwise.
Support-focused details add stability
City Chic builds in inner slings, side boning, and reinforced straps that change how the bra lifts.
Try this:
Adjust straps slowly and ensure the inner sling sits flush; swap cup size only if tissue is wrinkling or compressing.
Try-on strategy playbook
Dial in your baseline size
- Run the ABTF calculator or your trusted measurement routine first so the converter starts from fresh numbers.
- Keep your most reliable bra size handy; the converter maps it directly into City Chic sizing.
- Note the style you are targeting (plunge, balconette, wireless) so you can sanity-check the fit advice below.
Plan for stretch-friendly bands
- Order your usual band alongside the sister size down to see which feels secure after break-in.
- If you prefer lounge-level comfort, keep the stretchier option for home wear and reserve the firmer one for outings.
- Use easy return windows to compare band tension across at least two sizes before committing.
Leverage built-in support elements
- Position inner slings and side panels smoothly before clasping.
- Adjust straps incrementally; supportive bras respond quickly to small strap changes.
- If boning digs when seated, compare with the sister size up or a softer cut.
