Size Guide

In order to select the right shapewear with the proper control for your body type, you will need to choose the right fit. To determine the perfect fit, we recommend that you take measurements using a standard measuring tape around your hips, waist, bra band, bra cup, or a combination of all measurements if you are interested in a full-body shaper.

Measuring the Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips, and make sure you are taking a snug, but not constrictive measurement. The measuring tape should sit firmly flat against your skin. Add 2 inches to an even number, and 3 inches to an odd number to determine your band size.

Measuring the Waist

Measure around your natural waist, a few inches above your belly button. Make sure to take a snug, but not constrictive measurement. This is your actual waist size.

Measuring Bra Band Size

Measure around your rib cage, directly under your bust line. The measuring tape will need to be tight and lay flat against your skin. Add 2 inches to an even number, and 3 inches to an odd number to determine your band size.

Measuring Bra Cup Size

For the cup size, you will need to measure horizontally across your back, and around the fullest part of your breast. Make sure to keep the measuring tape in a horizontal position, and round up to the nearest whole inch. Subtract any difference from your cup size to determine your actual cup size.

Sizing Tips for Shapewear

We want to make sure your shapewear and hosiery fit you perfectly; follow these tips to make sure you are wearing the right compression type and size for your body:

* Make sure that you feel comfortable; you should not have to suck in your gut, or feel the garment pinching your skin in any way.

* The shapewear should not move when you sit, stand, bend or walk around; it should stay firmly in place on your skin, and should not roll up or fold.

* Your skin should not bulge in areas where the fabric meets your body.

* Do not go down a size for better performance; if you need more control, select either a dual compression or strong compression garment to achieve the best effect.

* You will not reduce your size with hosiery compression garments or light control shapewear; these are designed to provide support and comfort.
