Choosing the right garter belt can instantly elevate your confidence, whether you’re dressing for a romantic night in or simply want to feel powerful underneath your daywear. But what happens when you fall between sizes? It’s a common frustration for many curvy women shopping for plus size garter belts, especially when trying to strike the perfect balance between comfort and seductive style.
Let’s walk through what to do if you’re stuck between sizes—and how to find a garter belt that hugs you in all the right places without pinching or slipping.
The Importance of a Perfect Fit
When it comes to garter belts, fit is everything. Too tight and you’ll feel restricted or risk uncomfortable bulging around the waist. Too loose and your stockings won’t stay put, defeating the entire purpose of the belt. For plus size women, this challenge is even greater since many brands don’t accommodate in-between sizes properly. At PRUSES, we design plus size garter belts with flexible sizing, adjustable straps, and stretch-friendly fabrics to help you find your ideal fit without compromise.
If You’re Between Sizes—Go for Stretch and Adjustability
If your measurements fall between sizes—for example, if your waist is a 39" but sizes jump from 38" to 42"—choose the smaller size only if the fabric has stretch and the belt offers multiple adjustment hooks or sliders. Most PRUSES garter belts are made with elastic waistbands, lace panels with stretch mesh, and fully adjustable garter straps, making them forgiving and customizable.
Take the Women Plus Size Mesh Garter Belt with Thigh Straps for example. This piece includes adjustable waist hooks and stretchy mesh fabric, making it a great option if you’re unsure which size to go for. It adapts to your curves while maintaining structure and support.
Use a Measuring Tape—Not Guesswork
One of the most overlooked tips? Actually measure yourself. Don’t rely on jeans sizes or past purchases. Use a soft measuring tape to measure your natural waistline and the top of your hips. Compare those numbers to the size chart on PRUSES, and if you’re between two sizes, check the product details for fabric elasticity and user reviews for fit feedback.
Some designs, like our Women Plus Size Strappy Mesh Garter Belt Set, come with high-stretch panels and three-level hook closures—perfect for those who don’t fit neatly into one size category.
Pay Attention to Rise and Coverage
Another detail that often gets overlooked is the rise of the garter belt—how high it sits on your waist. If you're between sizes, choosing a high-waisted belt with a wider waistband can provide better grip and smoothing. For instance, the Women Plus Size Lace Panel Belted Garter Skirt hugs the waist comfortably with a soft, scalloped lace band, making it ideal for fluctuating sizes or weight.
Bonus Tip: Check Return Policies
Still unsure? Order two sizes if your budget allows, and return the one that doesn’t work. PRUSES supports customer satisfaction with straightforward return policies, giving you peace of mind when experimenting with fits.
