Our Made To Measure Service
When taking a body measurement, the tape measure should be snug against the body, but not tight enough to indent the skin.
Your Waist measurement should be taken at the slimmest part of your midriff, and your Hip measurement should be taken at the widest part of your bottom.
If you don't have access to a tape measure, use a piece of string or cord (non-elasticated of course) to measure your body, and then measure this against a ruler.
Lickorishlatex suspender belts come in three different cuts (Hourglass, Slim hip, and Super-slim hip) to ensure the most flattering fit for every beautiful body shape. See below for the measurements.
*If you're not sure which is right for you, after placing your order, just drop us an Email with your waist and hip measurements and we'll pick your size out for you.

These measurements refer to the body measurements of the wearer rather than the garments themselves. For best effect, latex should be worn close fitting and slightly stretched to create that sleek and shiny rubber look. lickorishlatex designs already take this into account, so please choose a dress size to match your body measurements.
When choosing your garment size, choose the size matching your smallest body area.
For Example, if you are choosing a skirt size and have a size 12 - 14 waist, and a size 12 hip, choose a size 12 skirt.
It is better for a part of the garment to stretch to fit a slightly larger body measurement, than wear the larger size and the garment be loose or baggy over the slimmer area. Although garments should not be worn too tight, as this will weaken the rubber and shorten its life, and of course is uncomfortable and unflattering.
If like so many of us, you don't fit into the silhouette used by the fashion industry, why not have one of our items made to fit you perfectly?
