Size Guide

All measurements refer to your body, not the garment. Use a soft measuring tape and measure directly against your skin for the most accurate fit.

Between sizes? For the Second Skin Body & Short — size up for a more relaxed fit, size down for firmer compression. For the Lift & Contour Short — size up. The silicone waist band holds its shape and a slightly larger size will be more comfortable all day.

How to Measure

BustMeasure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
WaistMeasure around your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, just above the belly button.
HipsMeasure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, approximately 8 inches below your natural waist.
TipAlways measure in your underwear. Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should be able to slip one finger underneath.
