How to Measure for Shapewear

How to fit shapewear just takes a few minutes. In most cases, all you need to do is measure the hips with a tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, and then measure the waist. Hip size is the leading factor in selecting the right size of brief and shapers, but the waist measurement does play a role and may require you to go up or down a size for comfort. Size May Vary While these charts (see below) can provide you with a general guideline for how to fit panties, girdles and shapers, keep in mind that size may vary by manufacturer. Some manufacturers may run larger than these charts, while others may be smaller. You may need to try a specific manufacturer to determine fit relative to your body size and shape. Shapewear Size Shapewear is typically measured on a Small-Medium-Large scale. This chart shows the average sizing for shapewear manufacturers based on hip and waist measurements: Daywear Size Daywear sizing is an arbitrary numerical sizing based on your hip measurement: The Bottom Line Panties, girdles and shapers tend to follow a few basic rules for fit, but finding the perfect fit for you may vary just as your body varies from other women. Waist, hip and stride proportions play a role in sizing. In many cases, following your slack or pant size is the best way to find the right fit for panties, girdles and shapers. This chart can serve as a rough guideline, but sizes do vary by manufacturer. Stride in Shapewear Sizing Shapewear stretches. If you have trouble with pants being too long or too short in the waist, go up a shapewear size if your pants are too short, and go down a size if your pants are too long. Because shapewear stretches, it can accommodate one size difference and the alternate sizing can help with length-related issues. Fitting a Body Briefer A body briefer provides you with a great look under your clothes, with a flattering shape and smooth lines. To find the right fit in a one-piece body briefer, consider your bra size, bottom size and torso length. To measure your torso, start from the high point of the shoulder, go over the bust and measure vertically to the end of your torso. This torso length chart can help you determine what size you need in one-piece briefers and other shapewear.
