How to Pick the Right Victoria's Secret Size
- Measure your under-bust and bust at home (snug under, loose over).
- Because Victoria's Secret runs large, size DOWN one band from your measurement (e.g. measured 34 → buy 32).
- Try the bra on the loosest hook for the first 2–3 weeks of wear.
- Test the fit using the band test (two fingers under) and cup test (no spillage, no gap).
