How can the cut of a bodysuit influence the choice of size?

Choosing the perfect size for your bodysuit can sometimes seem like a complex challenge. But there are ways to simplify the process. The cut of a bodysuit directly influences the choice of size, and knowing the different cuts available is crucial to making an informed choice. For example, long-sleeved bodysuits don't behave in the same way as sleeveless ones on your figure.

Next, it's just as important to consider the neckline: a high or low neckline can alter the perception of size. Scalloped and classic cutouts also affect the fit of your bodysuit. To ensure optimum comfort and support, it's essential to know your body type and choose accordingly.

On this page, we'll take you step by step through the process of choosing the right bodysuit size. Each type of cut can help you choose the perfect size. Practical advice also awaits you as you try on and buy your bodysuit, making sure you get the perfect alteration if necessary.

The different bodysuit cuts and their impact on size

Long-sleeved bodysuit vs. sleeveless bodysuit

The choice between a long-sleeved bodysuit and a sleeveless one may seem trivial, but it has a significant influence on comfort and fit. A long-sleeved bodysuit offers extra coverage, ideal for cooler seasons or occasions when you want a more sophisticated look.

However, this cut requires particular attention to arm length and shoulder circumference to avoid any discomfort. A sleeveless bodysuit, on the other hand, gives a sensation of lightness and freedom of movement, perfect for summer or under an elegant jacket. For this type of cut, it's crucial to check that armholes are neither too tight nor too loose, to ensure optimum support.

High-neck bodysuit vs. low-neck bodysuit

The neckline also plays a decisive role in the choice of bodysuit size. A high neckline, such as a stand-up collar or turtleneck, adds a touch of sophistication and can visually elongate the bust. However, it requires a snug fit around the neck and shoulders to avoid breathing discomfort or a feeling of suffocation. A low-neck bodysuit, on the other hand, shows more cleavage and adds a sensual, feminine touch. This type of cut needs to be perfectly fitted at the bust to offer adequate support while avoiding unwanted creases.

Cutaway bodysuit vs. classic cutaway bodysuit

The cut of the bottom of the bodysuit is another essential element that influences not only style but also everyday comfort. A bodysuit with a scalloped cut will enhance the natural curves of the hips and give the illusion of endless legs.

For this type of bold cut, make sure that the chosen size doesn't pinch the skin to avoid any visible irritation or marks under your fitted clothes. On the other hand, a classic cut bodysuit offers more coverage and is perfectly suited to more sober or professional looks. Here too, it's important to get the right size to ensure that the fabric stays in place without creating discomfort.

How to choose the right bodysuit size for your body type

The importance of torso length

Torso length is an essential criterion when choosing a bodysuit. Imagine yourself in a bodysuit that perfectly hugs your curves, without pulling or unsightly creases. To achieve this level of comfort, it's essential to know the exact measurement of your torso. A bodysuit that's too short can create uncomfortable tension in the shoulders and crotch area, while one that's too long can form unsightly creases under your clothes. So take the time to measure your torso from the base of the neck to the crotch to find the ideal fit.

Size variations by brand

Each brand has its own size standards, which can sometimes make the choice more complex. At Scandale, we make a point of offering detailed guides for each model so you can choose with confidence. Don't hesitate to consult customer reviews and product-specific recommendations to fine-tune your choice. For example, if you have a generous bust, some brands offer bodysuits with an integrated bra or reinforced elastic band for optimum support.

Adjustable for comfort and support

The perfect fit of a bodysuit relies on several key elements: fabric, seams and finishing all play a crucial role. Opt for stretch fabrics like cotton blends with a touch of elastane that hug your shape while offering unparalleled freedom of movement. Seams should be flat and well-positioned to avoid skin irritation. Finally, always check the elasticity of armholes and bottom openings: they should hold without compressing.

To illustrate, imagine wearing a bodysuit on an active day: it needs to stay in place without requiring constant adjustment. One satisfied customer recounts how she found happiness with a model with adjustable straps that allowed her to perfectly adjust the height according to her daily needs.

By following these precise tips and taking the time to try on different models, you're sure to find the bodysuit that not only adapts perfectly to your morphology, but also enhances your silhouette while guaranteeing absolute comfort.

Practical tips for trying on and buying a bodysuit

Measure your body correctly

To choose the perfect bodysuit, it's essential to take precise measurements of your body. Take a tape measure and follow these steps:

• Chest measurement: measure at the widest part of your chest, making sure that the tape measure is horizontal;
• Waist circumference: measure at the hollow of your waist, often just above the navel;
• Hip circumference: measure around the widest part of the hips, keeping the tape measure straight;
• Torso length: for this crucial measurement, start at the base of the neck and work down to the crotch. This ensures that the bodysuit is neither too short nor too long.

Trying on a bodysuit: what to look for

Fitting a bodysuit requires careful attention to several details to ensure comfort and elegance. Here are a few key points to check when fitting:

• General fit: the bodysuit should hug your shape without creating uncomfortable creases or pulling. Make sure it stays in place when you move;
• Integrated bra: if the model has one, check that it offers adequate support without compressing the bust;
• Seams and finishes: seams should be soft against the skin to avoid irritation. Also check the finishes on armholes and lower openings to ensure optimum fit without excessive compression;
• Adjustable straps: if your bodysuit has adjustable straps, make sure they fit you perfectly.
