In this modern day world stretch fabrics are the norm and they are frequently used to give 'you' the buyer a better fitting more comfortable garment.

Unlike the pin up era of the 40’s and 50’s where undergarments seemed to be made of the strongest material known to man and the terms "control and foundation wear" literally did mean exactly that.

At Stockings and Romance we use many different types of fabric some rigid and some with stretch, all the stretch fabrics we use give a variety of different movement and control, some are lightweight and some a little heavier but we can assure you not as heavy as the good old days.

Below is a guide to sizing , but you have to remember that our garments are designed upon and inspired by the underwear worn by ladies of the 40’s and 50’s era when they dressed like ladies and mostly wore dresses or skirts to show off their figures.

Our suspender belts and pull on girdles are designed to be worn on the waist and higher still, this all helps your stockings to be suspended in the correct way and of course the most comfortable for you 'the wearer'.

Bra Sizing

All of our bra range are made to a very old pattern from the 50’s and known as bullet bras.
They are designed to make your assets look amazing when worn under a blouse or knitwear, but be warned they do not fit like a modern day conventional bra and it will take some getting used to.

Our size range for bra’s starts at 34C and ends at 40D and should be self explanatory on the product page itself.

If however if you cannot find your size available we will be happy to make you a one off garment at a small additional cost. If you have a requirement for this please email us at info@frilzandlace.com
