How to try on lingerie online before you buy

Updated: 05.11.2026

In short: to "try on" lingerie online, combine two things: your measurements for the size, and a virtual try-on for the look. Measure your band and bust, match them to the product's size chart, and read reviews for fit notes. Then upload your photo and the item to AnyTry to see the cut, color and coverage on your own body in about 30 seconds.

Try lingerie on your photo

Why trying lingerie online is tricky

Lingerie is personal. Fit and look both matter, and you can't step into a fitting room.

Common problems when you buy online:

• Model photos are on one body type and heavily styled.
• Lace, mesh and sheer fabrics look different in real life.
• Sizes vary between brands.
• Many stores treat lingerie as final sale or only accept returns with the hygiene liner and tags. Check the store's return page first.

The fix is a simple 4-step routine.

Step 1: Know your size

For bras, you need two numbers: band and cup.

• Band: measure snugly around your ribcage, right under the bust.
• Bust: measure loosely around the fullest part of the chest.
• The difference between them sets your cup size.

Step-by-step help: how to measure your bra size.

For panties, bodysuits and sets, measure your waist and hips too.

Step 2: Use the size chart on that item

Don't trust "I'm always a 34B." Brands size differently.

• Open the chart on the product page.
• Check if it uses US, UK or EU sizes. Cup letters change between systems.
• Between sizes? Look at your sister size (for example, 34B is close to 32C and 36A).

Step 3: Read reviews for fit words

Look for reviews from people with a similar size.

Search for these words:

• "runs small" or "runs large"
• "cups gape" or "spillage"
• "band rides up"
• "itchy lace"
• "see-through"

If three or more people mention the same thing, believe it.

Step 4: Try it on your own photo

This is the step that replaces the fitting room mirror.

With AnyTry you upload one full-length photo and a photo, screenshot or link of the item from any store. You get a picture of you wearing it, with your body shape, skin tone and pose kept.

Tips for the best photo

• Stand facing the camera, full length.
• Wear fitted clothes or a plain bra and underwear set.
• Use soft, even daylight.
• Keep arms a little away from your body.
• Use a plain background if you can.

Is it private?

Privacy matters with lingerie. At AnyTry:

• You upload only your own photo, and you must be 18+.
• Photos are not published.
• Results never show more than the garment covers.

What to try first

Not sure where to start? Compare a few styles side by side:

• T-shirt bra for smooth everyday wear.
• Balconette for lift and a wider neckline.
• Plunge for low-cut tops.
• Bralette for soft, wire-free comfort.
• Bodysuit for a full look.
