Selecting the proper size for latex apparel is essential for both comfort and style. Latex products -- such as catsuits, dresses, and others -- are remarkably popular because of their unique appearance and sensual experience. However, sizing can be more difficult than expected if you are new to latex.
First, familiarizing yourself with how to measure your body is the first step to finding the right size in latex apparel. Latex apparel is distinct compared to regular fabrics because of its elasticity and second-skin fit. Latex apparel conforms to the contours of your body, which means how you fit into the latexcharms garment is important because it will visually reveal your curves and give you a fitted look. For latex apparel it is important to measure accurately. It is essential to measure you bust, waist, hips and inseam. Using a soft measuring tape will provide you with more comfort. Be sure to measure yourself without clothing for comfort. When measuring, for most accurate measurements be sure to stand in a natural posture, and breathe normally.
Once you have your measurements, it is time to use the size chart from the manufacturer or retailer for the item. Different brands may have different size standards, so check the size chart specifically for the item you are interested in. The key measurements to check the size chart for generally include bust, waist, and hip measurements. If your measurements place you between sizes, then you should consider your comfort and how you plan to wear the garment. If you want something a little more fitted, then choose the smaller option. If you would like it to breathe and are active or mobile in the item, the larger size is certainly a better option.
Another important aspect about figuring out which size to choose is considering how you are planning to wear that clothing. Will you be wearing the latex outfit for a night out or a themed event or is it for a photoshoot? The intended occasion may alter whether you want a snug fit or a more relaxed fit like for a dance party or more static occasion. Should you find yourself in an outfit that will involve some physical aspects, like a dance party, a looser fit may serve you better than a snug or tailored fit. Should the item be for a more static occasion, should you choose to wear it tighter, you may find it more satisfactory.
It is also important to what same may refer to as take stock of what you are buying. A latex catsuit has inherent design, so it will be a design an even bigger and more evident aspect of size and fit and require greater attention of length. A catsuit will also have to account length of the torso and length of the arms and neck. As you may have guessed, if the entire length is not right, you will see some discomfort on the torso or movement restrictions if the legs are not right. An ill-fitted sleeve will restrict movement and bunch up, possibly, exposing body parts you want to keep private.
In considering fitting for waist and hips with latex dresses or skirts, fit can make a significant difference in your comfort. If you have larger hips, you’ll want to choose a size that hugs your measurement at the hip to avoid any pinching or discomfort at the waistline. The same could be said for a bust measurement; the correct size will allow for the garment to fit properly (and not pull, bobble, or otherwise hang loosely at the front).
Latex garments do come in a variety of thicknesses as well. Thicker latex will generally have less stretch and ultimately will require you to size up for your comfort. On the other hand, thinner latex is more pliable and can hold comfortably while seen more snug.
Be aware when you try on latex clothing that the fit of latex will feel different on your body than what you're used to. Latex does stretch a bit with wear, if you can remember that. Therefore, when you are trying items on, pay attention to how it feels after a few minutes. If it is tight in one area after a while, consider sizing up. If it is loosened to the point of feeling baggy in other areas, consider trying a smaller size.
It is often believed that latex clothing is uncomfortable. While some individuals may feel latex is restrictive, I consider latex clothing to be just as comfortable when its the right size. Many brands have the same commitment to comfort and produce garments featuring an additional stretch or other support that adds comfort without sacrificing style.
Additionally, how do you plan to wear the latex clothing? Do you intend to have underwear as support and/or added comfort? Underwear can impact your choice of size too. If you intend to wear a specific undergarment or shapewear, make sure you are also planning on that in consideration of sizing. If you would like to wear layers underneatha the latex a mid-size up may be worth consideration to avoid being constricted.
For the ultimate improved experience of wearing latex, a clear understanding of the care and maintenance of latex clothing is essential. The care of latex clothing can help to maintain congruence of the material by never losing elasticity and having a perfect fit. You should always make an effort to wash your elitelatex properly after one use with an appropriate cloth-friendly detergent (specifically for latex of course). You should avoid any detergent, or products that have bleach, fabric softeners and so on….(which could cause accelerated deterioration of latex).
Once laundered, always make an effort to air dry cool. Be sure to hang them up at a minimized risk distorting by remaining in a heat-source location (heat from a dryer, or the heat from the sun).
Ultimately, please do not hesitate to ask for professional advice if you still remain unsure what size to get. Many retailers and designers who specialize in latex fashion are more than happy to help you find the right fit for your body. Again, if you are investing in a nice latex outfit or garment, it is worth a little work to be as comfortable as possible and confident.
In conclusion, finding the right size in latex fashion takes into account your personal body measurements, sizing charts, garment intended use, types of latex or weight and thickness of the latex. Taking all of these criteria into consideration along with final fit will lead to the best possibility of enjoying the garment and increasing your enjoyment of style overall. Enjoyer the creative aspect of latex style, and love the feeling of confidence and strength in something made and fitted well, versus fit issues if it were you are wearing a regular outfit for a night out or an event. A well-fitted awe inspiring latex piece will give you the chance to even shine brighter--you deserve it!
