Undergarments such as bras, slips, panties and lingerie are the foundation of every woman’s wardrobe. Every woman should have a basic lingerie wardrobe that makes them feel beautiful while also allowing for comfort. Beautiful, well-constructed bras and other undergarments that support and enhance the body are a must. Wearing the right undergarment size is just as important as choosing the right undergarment style.
How to Accurately Measure
For greatest accuracy, have someone help you take your measurements. If you must take your own measurements, stand in front of a full length mirror so you may ensure that you are always keeping the measuring tape parallel to the floor. Use a non-stretch, reinforced measuring tape such as our Flattering me® tape measure. Keep a pencil and paper handy to write down your measurements, as you will need them to determine your correct size for a variety of products. For best results when taking chest measurements, wear your best fitting, non-padded, non-minimizing bra. Sports bras are not recommended.

Sizing Tips
You might be surprised at the confidence you feel when you know your undergarments look as good as the clothing you wear over them. Finding the correct fit is the first step. At KnotTheGroom.com, you may be sure to find the exact style and fit to creating an alluring look for every body shape and size.
• Remember, your measurements may change throughout the day. For example, some people find they gain some inches around their waist after a particularly heavy meal. So, keep this in mind when taking your measurements.
• Round all fractional measurements to the nearest whole number 3/8” round down for ½” round up. • Never purchase a smaller size than your measurements indicate in an attempt to squeeze into the item and receive greater support. Not only will wearing ill fitting undergarments create unsightly bumps and bulges under your clothing, but it can also be damaging to the skin and underlying tissue. Always treat your body with the care it deserves. • Be realistic about your size. The female body comes in all shapes and sizes, each of which can be beautiful when supported by the correct undergarments. No matter what your size, it is possible to create an alluring look with properly fitted lingerie. |
