✨ FIND MY PERFECT FIT ✨

Answer a couple of quick questions and we'll pick your size for you.

"You were not made to fit clothes. Clothes were made to fit YOU. 👑"

How to Measure

Grab a tape measure. Takes 2 minutes.

We recommend measuring yourself - it makes finding your perfect Empress size really easy.

1

Bust

Around the centre of your chest. Wear an unpadded bra and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

2

Waist

Around your natural waist, starting from your belly button. Don't suck it in — breathe normally!

3

Hip

Around the widest part of your booty, from mid-hip bones and around — usually ~20cm below your waist.

4

Thigh

Around the thickest part of one thigh, directly under your booty and as close to your crotch as possible.

Each bar shows exactly where a measurement sits on the Empress scale. The circled size is the actual measurement - the pink pill below is what she actually shops. This is how you see why hip size alone doesn't determine your size.

B shops her waist - that's an L. Her hip pushes into the 1X zone, but the Empress stretch accommodates it perfectly. This is exactly why we say: shop your waist, trust the stretch.

Anna is a perfect S - bust, waist, hip and thigh all land squarely in the S range. When everything lines up like this, there's no guesswork: a clean, straightforward fit.

Tahisha loves the S - the support and comfort is everything. If she wanted even more compression she could go XS in bottoms. A great reminder that fit preference matters at every size.

Madi sits at the lower end of our M range - the perfect example of how far our fabric stretches. She shops down to an S for extra support and hold, and the Empress stretch does the rest. No upsizing needed.

Emma is a perfect M bust, waist, hip, and thigh; everything lands right in the M range, so it's a clean, easy fit everywhere. The only exception is underwear, where she sizes up to an L just for a little extra room. But make no mistake: the M is Emma's perfect fit.

Jade loves tummy control and shops her waist — M. Her hip sits between 1X–2X on the scale but the stretch takes care of it. Classic waist-first shopping at its best.

Ali shops her waist - a 1X. Her bust and hip both reach up into the 2X zone, but the Empress stretch keeps 1X comfortable top and bottom. For underwear she sizes up to a 2X for a little extra comfort. Ali's the perfect proof: shop your waist, trust the stretch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question?

Wear a thin, unlined bra and get someone else to measure you if possible. Bust around fullest part of chest. Waist just under rib cage. Hips at widest part of booty. Thigh at thickest part, directly under booty.

Use bust and waist measurements. Between sizes: larger for comfort, smaller for compression.

Shop your waist. The stretch handles your hips. If waist is L and hip is 2X — buy the L.

Down for compression, up for comfort. Both fit — personal preference.

Semi-matte fabric shows a sheen if too snug. That means it may be restricting movement.

Band sits low front, higher back. Squat test — band stays put. Initial crotch firmness is normal; fabric molds to your body.

Yes, with tags intact, unworn except for trying on. Head to the returns page.
