Learn how to choose the right size for the Impel Wide Strap Playsuit and discover styling ideas that make the most of its shibari-inspired design.
Quick answer
The Impel Wide Strap Playsuit runs true to size for most body types, but the adjustable straps let you fine-tune the fit. Use your bust and hip measurements to choose the right size, and consider your torso length for the most comfortable wear.
Understanding the shibari-inspired design
The Impel Wide Strap Playsuit uses wrapping satin-elastic straps that follow a shibari-inspired pattern. This open style means the straps do most of the work holding the garment in place, so the fit around your torso and hips matters more than cup size.
Because the playsuit is handmade to order, each piece has slight variations that add to its unique character. The adjustable straps give you some leeway, but the overall length of the body piece is fixed.
Key measurement points
To get the best fit, measure your bust at the fullest part, your natural waist, and the widest part of your hips. Also measure from your underbust to your waist—this torso length affects how the playsuit sits on your body.
If you are between sizes, consider your torso length first. A longer torso may need the larger size for comfort, while a shorter torso can often size down.
Decision rules for sizing the Impel Wide Strap Playsuit
- Use your bust and hip measurements: Compare your fullest bust and widest hip to the size chart. Choose the size that fits your larger measurement—the elastic straps will adjust to the smaller one.
- Check your torso length: Measure from underbust to waist. If this distance is longer than average (over 10 inches), consider sizing up for more comfortable coverage. If shorter, the standard size will likely fit well. A longer torso may cause the playsuit to ride up; sizing up reduces this.
- Adjust the straps after wearing: Put the playsuit on and tighten or loosen the adjustable straps while looking in a mirror. The goal is a snug fit that does not pinch or leave red marks. The straps can be tweaked after a few minutes of wear—don't over-tighten at first.
