I need some sizing advice on the V body suit please

1jac — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:41:39 GMT

I'd like to give this body suit a try and order before the show. But looking at the size chart the numbers look very small, especially the first three listed for the back and shoulders. I've recently gone down to a medium from a large in Louis' clothes but these numbers are very confusing. Based on the chart I would be an XL which I never was. If you own it, how does it run? And the size you purchased - is it your regular size?

I have it already in white & black. Love it. So smooth and great w/ jeans.

I am a small in the real world, XS usually in QVC world.

I ordered both sizes. Kept the XS. The arm holes were too low on the small and my bra showed. The XS was just perfect. It has 2 sets of snaps so has adjustability.

The measurements given NEVER seem to help me!! I have to try it on. I usually size down to XS in Linea. The only time I shouldn't have was with the surplice wrap sweaters. While the XS fit perfectly every where else...the surplice opens up too much and I have to wear a cami/insert. All other purchases are usually my Q size which is one down from the real world. I still find I size down in almost all in the line but JMHO! I don't want to lead you astray...this was my experience. Good luck!

I ordered my regular size--medium--and it fits. I'm tall and expected to have a problem with the length, but I did not. I'm finding it has a lot of stretch to it. Very comfortable and the double snaps give flexibility in sizing. Hope this helps--it's a great bodysuit.

Thanks Grace. That was helpful. I think I can safely order my size and ignore the size chart which was confusing.

1Jac, whenever I'm doubtful--as I was with the t-shirt dress--I hedge my bet and order two sizes. I think it's the safest way to go, especially for items we suspect will sell out. And, one more point that speaks to the sizing issue you brought up--the sizing for me was totally off and I had to size up in that dress. Can't count on the "click here" measurements. I think you'll feel more at ease trying out two sizes, rather than risk the bodysuit not fitting and then your size is gone. Just my two cents...

I ordered my regular size and being tall I ordered up a size. My regular size was a much better fit. In my opinion I think you will be happy ordering your regular size, I do not suggest sizing up!

I agree, do not size up on this one. I ordered small and it was perfect.

Definitely order your regular size. Body suit measurements are always on the small side, because of the stretch. If you order up because of the measurements it will be too big.
