How To Size Bra Size Bodyshaper Corselettes
We were recently asked for help sizing a control body and this is a question that we are regularly asked regarding corselettes and swimsuits.“Can you help me choose a size for a control body please.”
Bra Size Bodysuit Sizing Tips & Advice
Body corselettes come in bra sizes but not everyone is the same height and this can make sizing for the length of a bodysuit more difficult. When choosing a bodyshaper or corselette by bra size consider the following advice.- Body corselettes as a standard, are made for a size 5'5" tall person. So if you were this height you would choose your usual bra size for the bodysuit.
- However if you are taller than 5'5" try a larger back size and a smaller cup size eg if your usual size is a 38G then try a 40F.
- Alternatively if you are shorter than 5'5" then try a smaller back size and bigger cup size eg if your usual size is a 38G then try a 36H.

Features of a Well Fitting Corselette and Bodyshaper
Here are some features to look for when choosing a corselette. 
- Make sure the straps sit comfortably between the shoulders and neck and don’t dig in or slip off.
- The straps should run parallel at the back. They can be adjustable, non-stretch or wide comfort straps.
- The corselette should feel comfortable with your breasts encased in the cups and no bulging or gaping or the cups puckering/wrinkling.
- An integrated bra or lined bust area will help support the breasts.
- Some bodysuits don’t have full cups or an integrated bra, so a bra may need to be worn under the bodysuit for extra support.
- Moulded preformed cups or seamless cups help give a smooth look.
- On a wired corselette the wires should lie flat and not dig in.
- The corset part of the bodyshaper should not dig into your midriff and waist.
- The body should cover your bottom well and not feel stretched or as if it’s pulling on your bottom and shoulders.
- You should be able to fasten the popper fastening comfortably and it shouldn’t dig in.
- Made from strong microfibre to firmly hold and support the tummy section.
We also have a comprehensive corselette and bodyshaper fitting guide with lots of helpful tips and recommendations.
