Garter Belt Sizing: How to Find the Right Fit

Quick answer

Measure your natural waist and hips with a soft tape, then match to the brand's size chart. A well-fitted garter belt should sit at your waist without rolling or slipping.

How to measure for a garter belt

1. 1. Measure your waist: Wrap a soft measuring tape around your natural waistline, keeping it parallel to the floor. Do not pull tight. Breathe normally and take the measurement. Common mistake: measuring over bulky clothing or pulling the tape too tight.
2. 2. Measure your hips: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips, typically 7-9 inches below your waist. Keep the tape level and snug but not compressing. Checkpoint: if your hip measurement is much larger than your waist, consider a size based on your hip measurement for comfort.
3. 3. Compare to the brand's size chart: Find the Huit size chart online. Match your waist measurement to the corresponding size. If your waist and hip measurements suggest different sizes, choose the larger size for a comfortable fit. Common mistake: assuming garter belt sizes match your dress or pant size. Always use the lingerie brand's chart.
4. 4. Try it on and adjust: Put on the garter belt and fasten the hook-and-eye closure on the loosest setting. It should sit level at your waist without rolling down. Walk and sit to test comfort. Checkpoint: if the belt rides up or feels too loose, tighten the closure. If it still slips, consider a smaller size or a style with more adjustable straps.
