How do I measure my torso? (Click here for PHOTO)
To measure your torso loop, start at your collar bone bring the tape down your back, then between your legs, and back up your front (across your breast) to the starting position. Make sure you stand up nice and straight too.
Average torso loop is around 59 inches.

To measure your torso front, start at your bust line (sternum indentation between your breast) down to the center of your crotch were the seam of your pants would be. Sorry to be blunt.
Average torso front is around 19 inches.

Do you have padded tops?
Yes, we have two types of padding Triangle Shapers and Shaper Plus.

How do I tie the top to the bottom for the two-piece suits?
The bottom of our two-piece suits have small hook on the inside waistband for you to tie the strings to. The strings are extra long. It's best to have someone help you this way you can hold the top (cups) in place. First tie the neck strap then cross the bottom strings to create an X at your lower back. Next feed the strings through the little hooks on the inside of the waistband, pull fairly tight keeping top in place and the sides of the bottom nice an high on the hips. Once the top is lined up nicely, tie into a knot, leave a couple inches of extra string and cut the rest off, then tuck the excess strings into the bottom. The neck strings are extra long too, feel free to cut them shorter so they are not a distraction.

How do I straighten my 2pc suit if the top is sewn to the bottom?
Lay the suit flat on a counter or table, BOTTOM FACE UP.
The TOP FACE DOWN with LEFT strap straight (not twisted).
The RIGHT strap should have one twist to it.
Turn the top over, turn the TWISTED (right) side toward the STRAIGHT (left) side so it will be FACE UP.
Now the suit will be lined up properly. Hold the top in front of the bottom and step into both (top and bottom) together.

Are your suits lined?
Yes, all of our posing/figure suits have lining in them.

• Wash your suit with a mild soap and then rinse it in fresh water after use. Hang to dry inside or in shade.
• Wash your suits separately until any excess dye washes out.
• Most suits will bleed a little the first few washings. This is normal, the bleeding will stop.
• Do not line dry your suit in the sun, hang it to dry in the shade.
• Use extra caution with holographic and metallic fabrics, they are very delicate. The metallic will eventually wear off. These suits are for show only. Avoid hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and highly chlorinated pools. Wash in cold water only.
• Never: bleach your suit, put it in the dryer, iron it, or wash it with whites.
