Please be sure to check your measurements using our size guide and read all the information on each product page before ordering. We can not provide custom design and sizing pattern drafting services and maintain a reasonable sewing timeline for our regular orders. It's not an answer we enjoy giving clients who ask for custom work but its our current situation so if you'd like to make a purchase it must be one of the sizes and styles we offer. PVC fabric is stretchy so if you are in between sizes we recommend you choose the smaller size since a snugger fit looks better than a baggy one.
We kindly ask that you not place an order and then e-mail us after checkout asking for pattern drafting services or custom work. We are very sorry but we are a small company and can not provide these type of services and hope that you will accept our sincere apologies if we don't offer your size.
We accept returns with a 20-40% restocking fee so we can recover part of the lost fabric and labour cost the clothing are our clothing is made to order for you in the sizes and styles you pick. After e-mailing us you must mail us back the clothing within a week of receiving it. Returns are not accepted on intimate or custom sized items. If you have any specific questions or concerns please let us know!
1. Bust
Measure, under your arms and over the fullest part of your bust, all the way around your body while wearing a bra. Remember to keep the measuring tape comfortably loose. Bust size is not as important as your waist and hip size when picking a full body item.
2. Waist
Measure the area of your stomach where you are the thinnest (usually 1-3" above your belly button). Keep the measuring tape comfortably loose, but please do not inhale to get the smallest possible measurement.
3. Hips (sometimes referred to as "Low hip measurement")
This is the measurement that most people have issues with since some companies advise you to measure at your hip bone (we prefer to use the larger part for a more accurate fit). Please measure around the fullest part of your hips and butt. Keeping the tape comfortably loose move it around until you find the largest measurement.
4. Bra size
We offer our padded PVC bras with regular or "mega" pushup padding. Ultra padded just means the highest pushup level we can find for your cup size. The pushup cups with the extra padding cost more for us to purchase so the cost is $5 extra. Both options have padding, the mega/ultra just is a LOT more padding. We offer a wide range of band, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and cup sizes A, B, C, D, and DD which you can pick using the options on the product page.
The best way to tell what size you are is by trying on north american sized pushup bras locally (such as La Senza or Victoria's Secret) and we try to keep our sizes as standard as possible. We are always hesitant to suggest people pick a bra size based on their own measurements since its so easy to make mistakes. Please choose your regular North American bra size that fits you best.
5. Inseam (used for free customization for catsuits and leggings)
This may be a little different than what you usually use for your inseam measurement but allows us to make the clothing in the exact lengths you require. Please follow close to your body for these since it can end up looking shorter due to skin tight fit. We can adjust these lengths for no extra cost for most items. Just please e-mail us right away after placing your order so we can add the note to the cutting list for you.
1. Armpit to wrist (this will be the inside length of the sleeve)
2. Crotch to ankle (this will be the inside length of the leg, don't measure too low or it will bunch up at the ankles)
3. Bicep (measure around your arm a few inches below your armpit and do not flex)
6. Corset sizing
Corset sizing is as much about your corset wearing experience as your physical size so it is hard for us to suggest sizing. We sell our corsets based on the size in inches of the smallest part of the corset waist (19-32") to avoid any surprises. Most people end up reducing their waists by 1-3" and have a 1-3" gap in the back of the corset when it is fully tightened. You'll want to pick a corset size that is 2-4" smaller than your natural waist for overbust corsets and 3-5" smaller than your waist for underbust corsets.
If you choose a size that is too small for you (or just decide you don't want to lace it as tightly as most people normally do) you may have a larger gap in the back. So if you aren't sure how many inches smaller than your waist to choose for the "corset waist", decide based on whether you would prefer the possibility of a larger gap (if you choose a corset that is too small for you to close fully) but fits well vs having a corset that might be too big and stick out a little on the ribs and hips (corset size too big when closed fully). If you want to hide the gap of skin under the lacing of your corset please consider adding a modesty panel to your order.
PVC Waspies and shorter corsets like our PVC Corset Belts are easier to wear very tightly since they don't cinch your ribs. If you don't want to lace tightly, have a larger stomach or a lot of muscle in your torso, or have never worn a steel boned or stiffer non stretchy corset, you will probably want to only buy a corset that is 2-3" smaller than your actual waist. The best indication of what size you will be with us is the taut measurement of smallest point of the corset you most frequently wear in inches.
Overbust corsets (especially clear versions) are the least comfortable type of corset to wear. They also don't look good laced loosely since if they aren't snug on your chest you won't get any cleavage support and you'll have a large gap in the back. We recommend people who haven't worn a steel boned corset before to avoid our padded bust cup or overbust corset style (or definitely get halter straps). You may want to consider a bra/bustier worn with an underbust instead of an overbust corset if you aren't sure what size will fit you best or need a more comfortable and adjustable fit.
7. Glove sizing
Please choose the arm size that fits your bicep best using the options on the product drop down menus and your height (for bicep or elbow length gloves). You can also choose the hand size (XXS/XS, S/M, L and XL) when ordering. If you aren't sure you can pass on these measurements in an e-mail right after paying.
1. Around palm, measure just below where your finger start around your hand above the thumb with your palm flat.
2. Bicep, measure a few inches below your armpit. Do not flex, this is the most important measurement
3. Elbow, measure around your elbow joint with your arm straight
If you'd like instead of picking a height using our drop down options you can provide the total length of the gloves you'd like. Measure from the tip of your middle finger to where you want the gloves to end with your arm outstretched. Follow close to your arm and if you aren't sure make the length 0.5" longer since the gloves are slim fit.
8. XXS
We do have some (but not many) of our more popular items graded in XXS and available in the drop down menu. The XXS is meant for slightly below a XS or aprox 30-33" bust, 22-25" waist, and a 31-34" hip (largest part of the butt) and a 8.5-9.5" bicep. Corset sizing for XXS is 19/20" depending on the item. If you choose a corset that is very very small and it is unsuitable for your frame or comfort level you may end up with a large gap in the back between the lacing.
The fabric is stretchy for all non structured items (such as catsuits and jumpsuits) so if you are normally an XXS and need to deciding between this very small size and the XS after reading our size guide you may want to go for the tighter option.
8. Custom sizing and custom design work
We will sadly have to pass on any type of sizing or design requests. However we can refer an excellent independent designer, Annie from Mystical Unicorn Studios, who we have been working with for years. She is experienced in PVC and many other materials and can also construct high quality props and intricate costumes using the same quality of PVC we use. She is taking on limited commissions but feel free to check with her.
