Shapewear gets returned more than almost anything else online, and the reason is always the same — it arrives too small, because people buy the size they want to be. So this asks for your measurements, and sometimes it tells you not to buy at all.

Find your size. Or find out you shouldn't.

Measure your natural waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest, in inches, over bare skin or thin clothing. Morning measurements are the honest ones.

Waist (inches)Narrowest point, usually just above the navel

Hips (inches)Fullest point, usually across the seat
