How to Fit – Adjustable Waist Shapers
Welcome! You’re about to learn how to find the adjustable waist shaper that’s the right size for you. To do so, you’ll be using your waist and hip measurements. If you’re ready, let’s begin. This presentation will only last a few minutes. There are a few reasons why an adjustable waist shaper can be a great intimates choice. First, it’s available in a variety of silhouettes. A brief, slip, or girl short provides extremely comfortable smoothing. Second, these shapers are ideal for anyone with a long torso. That’s because they’re designed to provide extra adjustability in the rise. Through unique design and construction, the tops can be pulled up and placed at a higher natural waistline to accommodate any torso length. In addition, they can be placed at points above the waistline, should the wearer find those to feel more comfortable or provide better results. And a patented, silicone finish, incorporated into the shapers’ tops, ensures that they’ll remain in place all day long. Finally, each of these shapers delivers solutions for tummy pooch and muffin top. But, depending on the silhouette chosen, an adjustable waist shaper may also successfully address flabby fanny, large hips, large thighs, and/or saddlebags. Before we talk about sizing, here’s a really helpful tip. You’ll find that an adjustable waist shaper functions best when it’s pulled up above your natural waist. At this level, it most flatters the body because it smoothes bulges that often appear at the waistline. Now it’s time to figure out which adjustable waist shaper size is right for you. To do this, you’ll need to measure the lengths around your waist and hips. You’ll need a flexible tape measure and a mirror. You may also find it helpful to have a buddy assist you. Now, we’re ready to get down to business. It’s best to take off your pants when measuring, as the fabric gets in the way of accuracy. Place the tape measure around the smallest part of your waist, following your body’s natural indentation. If you’re not sure where your smallest part is located, bend to the side to find it. Make sure that the tape lies flatly, and parallel to the ground, all the way around your body. Pull it snugly to get an accurate measurement. Round the result, up or down, to the nearest whole inch. For example, if your measurement is 29 3/8”, round down to 29”. Or, if your measurement is 29 ½”, round up to 30”. Next, we’ll measure your hips. Stand with your legs together and place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips. This should be approximately 7” below your waist. Make sure that it lies flatly, and parallel to the ground, all the way around your body. Again, round the result, up or down, to the nearest whole inch. For example, if your measurement is 39 3/8”, round down to 39”. Or, if your measurement is 39 ½”, round up to 40”. We’re almost done. The two measurements taken together determine the size of the garment. Find your waist and hip measurements on the chart and you’ll discover the corresponding adjustable waist shaper size that’s right for you. For example, if your waist measures 33”, and your hip measures 42”, an average-size, extra-large, adjustable waist shaper will fit you well. If your waist and hip measurements don’t correspond to one garment size, match only your hip measurement to the corresponding garment size. The fabric in shapewear is very accommodating. That's it - now you’ll feel confident when looking for the adjustable waist shaper that's right for you.
