Shapewear Sizing Explained
UK Shapewear Sizing: A Complete Guide to Finding Your Perfect Fit
Right, let's talk shapewear sizing! We know it can be a bit of a minefield, especially when you're trying to figure out how it translates to your usual UK clothing size. Don't worry, we're here to make it super easy.
Why Size Matters (And It's Not Just About Numbers!)
Getting the right size shapewear is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Too small, and you'll feel like you're being squeezed into a sausage casing (not a good look, or feel!). Too big, and you won't get the support you need.
Understanding UK Sizes in Shapewear
Most shapewear brands will give you a size chart, but it's important to remember these can vary. Some brands run a little smaller, others a bit larger. That's why we always recommend checking the specific brand's size guide on our website.
Top Tips for Finding Your Perfect Fit:
- Don't Just Go By Your Usual Clothes Size: Shapewear is designed to fit differently.
- Check the Size Chart: Always, always, always look at the brand's size chart.
- Consider the Fabric: Some fabrics have more stretch than others.
- Think About the Control Level: Higher control levels can feel tighter.
- When in Doubt, Size Up: It's better to have it slightly looser than too tight.
- Read Reviews: Other customer reviews are a gold mine of information.
What to Do If You're Between Sizes
If you find yourself hovering between two sizes, it's generally best to go for the larger one. Comfort is key!
