Find your
perfect fit.
Measure once, compare with confidence and choose the layer that feels made for you.
Start with your body,
not the label.
Hosiery should feel smooth, secure and easy to move in. A few accurate measurements make choosing much simpler.
Stand naturally, wear light clothing or underwear, and keep the tape comfortably close without pulling it tight. If possible, ask someone to help so the tape stays level.
Four points.
One better fit.
Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor and note each measurement in centimetres or inches.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist—the narrowest point, usually above the navel.
Hips
With feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Height
Stand barefoot against a wall and measure from the floor to the top of your head.
Also measure around your thigh where the top band will sit. The tape should touch the skin without compressing it.
Measure, then
match.
Use the size containing most of your measurements. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Read the
fabric.
Denier describes yarn weight and appearance—not garment size. Stretch and construction also affect how a piece feels.
Ultra sheer
Lightweight and delicate with a barely-there finish.
Everyday sheer
A balance of transparency, polish and practical wear.
Opaque
More coverage with a denser look and substantial feel.
Dense coverage
A full, solid appearance designed for maximum opacity.
It should feel
effortless.
Your best size should stay in place without pinching, pulling or restricting movement.

- 02Fabric is distributed evenly
- 03Gusset or body sits in the correct position
- 04Motifs keep their intended shape

Less pulling.
More wearing.
Fine hosiery lasts longer when it is eased on gradually instead of pulled from the waistband.
- 01Prepare
Remove rings and bracelets, then smooth any rough nail edges.
- 02Gather
Roll one leg down gently until you can place your toes into it.
- 03Ease
Guide the fabric over the heel and up the calf in small sections.
- 04Balance
Repeat on the other leg, then adjust both sides evenly toward the hips.

Still unsure? Our team can help you compare a product's stretch and fit notes with your measurements.
Contact usWhat if I am between two sizes?
For hosiery, the larger size is usually the more comfortable choice—especially if height, hips or thigh measurement falls into the next range. Check the product fit note for exceptions.
What does “One Size” mean?
It means the fabric has been designed to stretch across a stated measurement range. That range varies by style, so always use the dimensions shown on the individual product page.
Does fishnet fit differently from sheer hosiery?
Yes. Openwork fabric may look very small off the body but expands as it is worn. Ease it on gradually so the pattern remains even and avoid pulling on a single thread.
Why does the top band roll down?
Rolling can mean the band is too tight, sits in the wrong position or has not been distributed evenly. Reposition it on a wider or narrower point of the thigh, or try the next size up.
Can I return an item if the size is wrong?
For hygiene reasons, eligibility may depend on the item being unworn and its hygiene seal remaining intact. Review our Shipping & Returns page before opening or trying on the product.
