Every style has its own size chart because fit differs from design to design. Measure yourself once here, then match your numbers to the chart on the product page. Go by your measurements, not by the letter on the size label.
1. Measure yourself
Use a soft measuring tape over light clothing or underwear. Stand relaxed, keep the tape level and snug but not tight, and breathe out normally.
Inches to centimeters
Many size charts are in centimeters. Use this to compare your tape measurements. For any number not listed, multiply inches by 2.54.
- 30 in = 76 cm
- 32 in = 81 cm
- 34 in = 86 cm
- 36 in = 91 cm
- 38 in = 97 cm
- 40 in = 102 cm
- 42 in = 107 cm
- 44 in = 112 cm
- 46 in = 117 cm
- 48 in = 122 cm
- 50 in = 127 cm
- 52 in = 132 cm
- 54 in = 137 cm
- 56 in = 142 cm
- 58 in = 147 cm
- 60 in = 152 cm
- 62 in = 157 cm
- 64 in = 163 cm
- 66 in = 168 cm
- 68 in = 173 cm
- 70 in = 178 cm
2. Match your numbers to the product's chart
Each product page has its own size chart. Compare each of your measurements to it, and check these four things:
- Body or flat measurements. Some charts list what your body should measure. Others list the garment laid flat. If a chart says "flat," double the number to get the full circumference. A flat waist of 15 in is a 30 in garment, and shapewear stretches to fit.
- Inches or centimeters. Use the inches to centimeters list above if the chart is in a different unit than your tape.
- Small differences. Garment measurements can vary by about 1 to 2 cm (under an inch) from the chart.
- Numbers over letters. A 3XL in one style can fit differently from a 3XL in another. Always choose by your measurements.
Which measurements matter for each style
| Style | Check these |
|---|---|
| Bodysuits and full-body shapewear | Bust, waist, hips and torso length |
| Shaping shorts, briefs and thongs | Waist and hips |
| Shaping leggings and thigh smoothers | Waist, hips and thigh |
| Waist shapers and bands | Waist (and hips for longer styles) |
| Padded and hip-enhancing styles | Waist and hips |
| Shaping bras, camisoles and tanks | Bust and underbust |
3. Choosing when you're between sizes
- Different measurements, different sizes? Choose the size that fits your largest measurement. For bodysuits, if your torso length is longer than the chart's, size up.
- Between two sizes? Size up. Shapewear that's too small rolls, digs and leaves lines, which is the opposite of smoothing.
- Want firmer compression? Stay with the size your measurements suggest rather than sizing down. A snug fit should feel supportive, not painful.
- How it should feel. You should be able to breathe, sit and walk comfortably. If it leaves deep marks or feels numb or tingly, it's too small.
- Top and bottom are different sizes? Choose separates, such as a shaping bra with shaping shorts, and size each piece on its own.

Sizing questions
Why does each product have a different size chart?
Our styles are made by different makers, and each one cuts its sizes differently. We show the chart for the exact style you're looking at, so you can check the fit against real numbers.
Is my usual size the same in every style?
Not always. That's why we recommend choosing by your measurements and checking each product's chart rather than relying on the letter size.
What if my size isn't available?
Each style lists the sizes it comes in on its product page. Our shop-by-solution pages are a good way to find another style that covers the same area and comes in your size.
