How to find the right size in lingerie?

Lingerie sizes: a real headache

Lingerie is a type of clothing that is complex because the piece of fabric will follow the body closely without rarely covering it 100%. Certain parts of the body will therefore be uncovered, such as the hips, stomach, neckline, thighs, etc. Lingerie can then influence your silhouette depending on the size or model chosen.

For example, a leotard that covers your hips could be tighter, therefore a size smaller, than a leotard that does not cover your hips for the same type of aesthetic effect. It is up to you to be able to choose the effect you want with the lingerie that you like. The goal here is to explain that our lingerie sizes can vary depending on the type of model even with our same silhouette.

Sizes in men's and women's versions

If you are a man or a masculine person, choosing a size for women's lingerie can be a real headache as well. Because most pieces of women's lingerie are created from standard women's sizes. We recommend choosing a size larger than when you usually shop for men's or men's fashion for an equivalence.

On the other hand, Fleur Sauvage Lingerie believes that fashion does not have a specific gender since we are talking about pieces of fabric that cover our body according to our preferences and our choice of gender identity which can vary over time.

However, it is important to note that in product development we must choose size standards to produce a clothing collection, in this case lingerie. We must therefore have a choice to make so that our customers can find their way in their choice of sizes.

Fleur Sauvage Lingerie has therefore decided to take inspiration from industry size standards by making an upward adjustment since the fashion industry tends to present sizes smaller than reality, in our opinion. For example, a standard size S would therefore be an XS at Fleur Sauvage Lingerie. As a size M would therefore be an S and so on.

Fleur Sauvage Lingerie customer service: choice of lingerie sizes

At Fleur Sauvage Lingerie we are passionate about lingerie and making it easy for you to choose sizes is a priority to achieve our mission of offering our products to the greatest possible human diversity.

So do not hesitate to write to us in case of doubt or even sometimes we will allow ourselves to write to you to validate your choices of lingerie sizes. We know very well our different items and sizes which can vary from one fabric to another, so sometimes we prefer to write to you to discuss it with you.

For example, if one of our models is made large, because the fabric is super stretchy, we will write to you to confirm that you still want to keep the chosen lingerie size or take a smaller size.
