Online shopping brings the joy of choosing your favorite essentials from the comfort of your home, all while lounging in your favorite PJs. However, navigating the world of shapewear without the luxury of a fitting room can be a bit challenging. The key to unlocking the perfect fit lies in mastering the art of measuring.
In this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll help you discover how to measure your shapewear size to ensure that you select the right size that complements your curves.
How to Measure Your Shapewear Size
Starting your journey to finding the ideal shapewear size is easier than you imagine. All you need is a tape measure and a pen and paper (or your phone) to note down your measurements. With these easy steps, you'll be well on your way to confidently selecting the perfect shapewear that suits your style and shape. Let’s dive in!
How to Measure Your Waist
When it's time to measure your waist, keep it simple and fuss-free. Without any clothes on, wrap a measuring tape around your midsection. There are two ways to find your waist:
- Around the Navel: Wrap the tape around the fleshy part between your ribs and hips, making sure it sits right at your navel or slightly above.
- Side Lean Technique: Lean to the side with your hands on your hips. Your waist is that spot on your side that folds inwards.
How to Measure Your Hips
To figure out the size of your hips, start by standing with your feet close together. Take a tape measure and gently wrap it around the widest area of your hips, making sure to include your butt in the measurement. The tape should cover the softest and fullest part of your hips and butt to ensure you get an accurate measurement. This step is important for finding the right fit in your shapewear, so take your time to get it just right.
How to Measure Your Bra Size
Ensuring you wear the right bra size is crucial for comfort and support. To measure your bra size, it's best to do it without wearing a bra. Grab a measuring tape and gently wrap it around your torso, covering the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure the tape includes your nipple area for accurate measurements.
