How to Measure

Getting the right size is the secret to comfortable, flattering shaping. The numbers vary by product — always check the size chart on each product page — but here's how to take your measurements so you choose with confidence.

Before you start

  • Use a soft tape measure (or a piece of string measured against a ruler).
  • Measure over bare skin or light clothing — never over thick layers.
  • Keep the tape snug and level, never tight. Don't pull it in.
  • Stand relaxed and breathe normally.
  • Between two sizes? Size up for firmer shaping and comfort; size down for a snugger smoothing effect.

Bras

How to measure bra band and bust
  1. Band — measure directly under your bust, around your ribcage, where the band sits. Keep the tape firm and level.
  2. Bust — measure around the fullest part of your bust, tape level and not compressing.

Our wireless, seamless bras are forgiving and adjust with the band hooks and straps — choose by the size range on the product.

Bodysuits

How to measure bust, waist and hips
  1. Bust — around the fullest part of your chest, tape level.
  2. Waist — around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the navel.
  3. Hips — around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

If your bust and hips fall in different sizes, choose the larger of the two — the shaping fabric smooths the rest. For a long torso, size up so the length sits comfortably.

Shaping shorts

How to measure waist, hips and thigh
  1. Waist — around the narrowest part of your waist, where the waistband will sit.
  2. Hips — around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
  3. Thigh — around the fullest part of one upper thigh, if shorts usually feel tight on your legs.

Fuller thighs? Size up for comfort. For firm hook-closure styles, pick your true size and fine-tune with the hook rows.

Swimwear

How to measure bust, waist and hips for swimwear
  1. Bust — around the fullest part of your chest, tape level.
  2. Waist — around the narrowest part of your waist.
  3. Hips — around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

Light and medium shaping swimsuits are true to size; firm styles fit snug and take a moment to put on — that's what creates the sculpted shape.
