Shapewear Size Guide
Zarela Shapewear Size Guide
Choosing the right size is the single most important factor in how your shapewear looks and feels. Too small and it rolls, digs, and creates new bulges. Too large and it slides down and loses compression. Use this guide to get it right the first time.
How to Measure Yourself
Use a soft measuring tape directly against your skin, not over clothing. Measure in inches or centimeters and keep the tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually 1 inch above your belly button.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, usually 7 to 9 inches below your waist.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Sizing Tips from Our Team
- Between two sizes? For everyday comfort, go with your larger size. For maximum shaping at a special event, go with your smaller size.
- Postpartum? Size up from your pre-pregnancy size. Your body needs gentle compression, not restriction.
- Plus size? Our extended sizes (2XLā4XL) are designed with extra stretch panels and reinforced waistbands. They are not scaled-up versions of smaller sizes.
- Not sure about the length? For bodysuits with a thong bottom, length matters less. For mid-thigh bodysuits, if you are taller than 5ft 7in, size up for extra coverage.
