These measurements refer to the body measurements of the wearer rather than the garments themselves. For best effect, latex should be worn close fitting and slightly stretched to create that sleek and shiny rubber look. lickorishlatex designs already take this into account, so please choose a dress size to match your body measurements.
When choosing your garment size, choose the size matching your smallest body area.
For Example, if you are choosing a skirt size and have a size 12 - 14 waist, and a size 12 hip, choose a size 12 skirt.
It is better for a part of the garment to stretch to fit a slightly larger body measurement, than wear the larger size and the garment be loose or baggy over the slimmer area. Although garments should not be worn too tight, as this will weaken the rubber and shorten its life, and of course is uncomfortable and unflattering.
If you aren't this shape - don't despair! We offer an excellent Made 2 Measure service for just £10 extra!
When taking a body measurement, the tape measure should be snug against the body, but not tight enough to indent the skin.
Your Waist measurement should be taken at the slimmest part of your midriff, and your Hip measurement should be taken at the widest part of your bottom.
If you do not have access to a tape measure, use a piece of string or cord (non-elasticated of course) to measure your body, and then measure this against a ruler.
Lickorishlatex suspender belts come in sizes small (size 8 - 10), medium (size 12 - 14), and large (size 16 - 18), and in three different cuts: Hourglass, Slim-hip, and Super-slim hip. This ensures the best, most comfortable fit for every beautiful body shape.
Hourglass – This style best fits the hour-glass figure of slim waist and shapely hips. This is the shape used in standard UK dress sizing.
Waist is 12 inches slimmer than the hips.
Slim-hip – This style is the most comfortable fit for those of us with less of an hour-glass shape.
Waist is 10 inches slimmer than the hips.
Super-slim hip – This style best fits those of us with a smaller size difference between the waist and the hips.
Waist is 8 inches slimmer than the hips.
If this has all just confused you completely, feel free to simply give us your waist and hip measurements, and we'll pick your size and cut.
If you have any questions about sizes and measurements, we are more than happy to help.
