Its important that you double check your measurements to the suppliers size chart before specifying a size. This is especially important when buying corsets online, or any intimates online. It may be helpful to have someone assist you in taking and recording your measurements to have handy when buying intimates online.

In some cases however you may find items listed with only one size: Free. What this means exactly can depend on the individual item.

However, the material can often only stretch so much and may not fit some plus sized women. In many cases the garment may contain a size guideline in the items description.
