Measurements

Choosing the right shapewear is not as easy as just simply picking the area of the body you want to target. It is also very important to consider measurements. Most people believe that the tighter the shapewear, the slimmer they will appear but this is actually not the case. If your shapewear is too tight, it will start to bulge under clothing; if your shapewear is too loose, it can be quite noticeable and will not properly perform its function.

Therefore, it is extremely important to take measurements for your shapewear. Better yet, if you are close to a store, it is a good idea to ask if they will take measurements for you. If not, taking shapewear measurements is quite simple.

● First, you will need a tape measure.
● There are two areas of the body that you need to measure: your waist and your hips.
● Start by wrapping the measuring tape around your waist area without cinching.
● Write down the number that you get on the tape measure and re-measure to make sure you get the same measurement twice.
● Next, wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your hips. Make sure the tape measure is snug around the hips and then write down the number.
● Below is a chart that can help you determine your shapewear size:
