How to measure yourself

Grab a soft measuring tape and measure these 3 spots to choose your bodysuit, tummy control panties or shapewear shorts:

Bust: around the fullest part
Waist: around the narrowest part, above your belly button
Hips: around the widest part of your butt

Keep the tape level and snug — not tight, not loose — and write your measurements down in inches.

Choosing your level of control

All Elya shapewear is made from ultra-thin seamless fabric with light control as standard. Want more smoothing? Choose our firm control styles (Firm Control Bodysuit, Firm Control Panties). For complete invisibility under clingy outfits, pick the laser-cut invisible styles.

Tips by body type

Hourglass: every style works — high-waisted shaping panties really highlight your waist
Rectangle: the thong bodysuit or strapless bodysuit add natural-looking curves
Pear: shapewear shorts or mid-thigh shorts balance hips and shoulders
Inverted triangle: high-waisted panties subtly define your waist
Postpartum: our Postpartum Shapewear Panties give gentle, C-section-friendly support

When you're between sizes

Most of us don't fit neatly into one size. Here's how to decide.

Your bust is bigger than your hips

Choose the size that fits your bust. The seamless fabric adapts to a smaller lower half, but a bust that's too tight is uncomfortable — especially in the shaping bodysuit and strapless bodysuit.

Your hips are bigger than your bust

Choose the size that fits your hips. If the bust is a little loose, adjust it with the straps (on styles with straps) or let the stretch knit do the work (on bandeau styles).

A small waist with fuller hips

Go with your hip size. A little room at the waist is normal — the gentle compression closes that gap as the fabric settles.

Petite (under 5'3")

Some bodysuits may feel a bit long. Shorten the straps on styles that have them. With extra-high-waisted panties, make sure the top edge doesn't sit above your bust.

Tall (over 5'9")

Some styles may feel a little short. Choose bodysuits with a roomier cut over very fitted ones. High-waisted panties may not reach your belly button — that's normal and doesn't change how well they work.

How to tell your size is right

No red marks on your skin after an hour of wear — if there are, size up
No rolling at the waist — if it rolls, it's too small or too big
No spillover at your thighs or neckline — if there is, it's too small
No loose, baggy feeling — if so, it's too big
One finger fits between your skin and the edge, no more, no less — that's the sweet spot
