It can be a little tricky to know what would be best when you are in between sizes. Our products are generally true to size across our entire range. We fit and trial our products on real women to ensure accurate size recommendations based on real-world feedback.
In this instance, it is likely that both sizes will fit you as the garment is a seamless shaper knitted on our seamless Santoni Italian machinery. This means the yarns are linked like a chain working together to expand and contract where needed while providing support and no side seams to get in the way. With this in mind, your size selection may just come down to personal preference in fit.
For example; say you are tossing up between the Medium: 10-12 and the Large: 14-16 in the Ultimate Stay Up Shaping Shorts. The smaller size 10-12 will be the firmest fit, meaning it would provide maximum shaping and smoothing. It might feel quite firm but would be ideal for special events where you may want high impact shaping.
The larger size 14-16 fit would be a little more relaxed and most likely provide some soothing and a little shaping and probably best for day to day wear rather than special events.
We hope this information is helpful in making your decision! Before placing your order, I would recommend having a quick read of our returns policy in the rare instance that the garment is not the perfect fit.
