The most accurate way to size your lingerie is to know your measurements. You will need a cloth or paper measuring tape. You can find these at many fabric or craft stores. A full length mirror is helpful, but not necessary. You will need a pen or pencil to jot down your measurements on paper. Of course, getting a friend to help makes things easier but we’re sure that you will get the right measurements by following this easy guide.
Bust
Measure across the back, under the armpits and over the fullest part of the bust.
Waist
Find your natural waistline and measure around your body.
Hips
Measure the fullest part of the hip, usually 6-8 inches below the waist.

If you think that you may be between sizes, choosing the next larger size is a safe choice. Some manufacturers have styles that span sizes such as 1X/2X or 3X/4X. These sizes are a safe bet if you tend to be in between sizes or you feel your size fluctuates month to month.
You want your lingerie to help you feel comfortable, confident, and sensual. So, measure your sexy curves and celebrate with beautiful new lingerie. Trying to guess your size will cause the headache of having to return your items and waiting for the exchange to take place.
