Anyway, ... more
I think offering sets on here would be a fantastic idea. There are too many people who aren't cookie cutter shapes.

I think it would be great to carry a greater range of sizes for lingerie as well, from petites to plus sizes. I think we're both groups that feel under-represented in the clothing industry.

I'm personally another one of those petite ladies (under 5'/93lbs, 30C-24-35...finding a 30C bra is not fun) and all I want is a few nice sets of lingerie that fit me well and don't cost a huge fortune. I realize there aren't many women my size, but I'm a real woman too and it's heartbreaking for me to find that I can't look as fabulous in sexy lingerie because of the perception that real women aren't this small...which is even more sad considering that all the well-fitting childrens' pants I own continually reinforce my feeling juvenile rather than sexy.

I for one appreciate empirical measurements along with manufacturer's sizing (i.e. this model has these measurements in inches and is wearing a size M) because at least it gives a better idea of whether something may or may not fit. But bottom line, more range . Thanks for this thread!

I'm usually either a large or XL, depending on the item. (Although with some brands on EF I'm a 1x) I have problems because my top half is a lot larger than my bottom half, so if I buy a bra and panties set where the bra fits, the panties will be way too big.

My size depends on the garment. I can do small, sometimes extra small. Below the waist, small to medium.

With panties, I like a little more coverage. I wear more thongs than any kind of panty, I find them most comfy. But they look most flattering in a size larger, I think. I also like a little more crotch coverage. It seems a lot of tiny thongs barely keep stuff in. :/

I find some lingerie awkward in fit around the chest and my bony shoulders. But luckily I'm handy in the way I can fix that! Unfortunately, I'm lazy!

This is something I have a difficult time with. I'm not a small/medium/large size in lingerie. The generic sizes don't fit me! I really hope to see Eden carrying more lingerie with bra sizes in the near future, as these provide more custom support and fit.

I am a 32E bra size, so a "small" fits my waist, but the cup is tiny on me, were as an XL would fit my breasts but be huge on my waist! I know plenty of other women who find similar problems with the small/medium/large sizing in general lingerie.

I'm all over the place- usually medium, but sometimes small, sometimes large. It can be frustrating!

it depends on the sizeing, Im a 34 B cup and a size 3 in most things, it ranges from small to medium depending if its a full outfit with built in cup or not.

I tend to be just a bit bigger than the typical S-M-L schema. I can usually squeeze myself into an L, but it's not very comfortable or attractive. I fully support having lingerie in larger sizes for me and my fellow fashionistas!

Depending on the manufacturer, I am either a large or extra large (I am a 12/14 jean depending on the brand, I wear a Medium or 10/12 shirt and am a 38D bra. I have a small waist compared to my breasts and hips, which can cause a whole slew of problems when trying to find properly fitting apparel).

Some companies really cut their items small. Others, I swear, have skewed views of what Large and XL mean (they must live in a land where every person is tall and thin). I can get a XL from Coquette and it will fit amazingly, but then in Dreamgirl I have to get a 34 or 36 (which makes no sense -- I am a 38 clearly! It makes it hard to follow the sizing charts when they are wrong.) However, it does stroke my ego to buy a smaller size! Then there are others, that consider someone my size a 1X.

I would love it if Eden carried more corsets that would fit me! As for now, I am paying top dollar, locally.

anywhere from a medium to an extra large depending on brand and style of a garment I am 5'0 wear a size twelve bottom and a size ten top usually, my bra size is 34C and nothing fits except sleeveless empire waist dresses and I almost always have to shorten the straps. Any other cloths I buy are either too long, or tight across the bust/at the hips.

I am just over six foot one. I stopped buying clothes in stores as I got tired of having my wrists and ankles have frost bite in the winter, and well... my belly and lower back were always cold as "extra long" just doesn't cover anything.

I am VERY proportionate in my body, but all my tops if I buy at a store, I must buy for a) shoulders and b) length. Pants? BLAH! It is impossible to find pants to fit my hips without having to walk around everywhere hiking my pants up because the waist slips down, then it has been known to happen where my pants fall off if I am not paying close enough attention. I've never bought a pair of pants since I was eleven that were long enough unless they were men's (then the tailors fee on top).

Now I am free to go to a tailors, I can design all my own clothes, and when I put them on for the first time, I usually weep at how lucky I am to be able to do this.

I would love to see clothes in plus sizes; I can go from anywhere from a large, to a triple X, with a bra size of C/D40 and a waist at 36. It just all depends on length and shoulders. I would also like to see added measurements of how long the tops are.

I say that I am a large, but it really depends upon the brand and the item exactly.

At 5'9.5", I am 36C / 28/ 40. Large in some brands, not in others. But if I'm wearing lingerie that's not tight around the hips or even goes down to the hips, I'm more of a medium.

I'm a bit confused on the hip measurement though. I was taught that it's the widest part, lower than where most pants of mine sit. Not sure if it's the same measurement for lingerie?

For reference, I wear dresses in both general mediums and larges- or sizes 8-10.
Shirts are normally medium, but I get large if I want more length.
Panties are always large.
Pants are anywhere from US size 9 to 12.

Every item is different for me. I have small breasts and a small waist, but big hips. So usually medium fits my hips but is too big on my boobs. So I pick small or medium depending on the particular item

I'm anywhere from a M to an XL depending on the clothing. *sighs*

5' 7", 34DD and shaped all hourglass-y...when something fits my shoulders it's too big in the waist and if it fits my hips it won't stay above my arse.

There's a reason I usually choose naked over lingerie.

I have a 40 bust and the rest of me is a bit curvy but not chunky. I also have a serious hourglass so a lot of lingerie is a bit small or too big. I really like adjustable, lace up,stretchable lace/velvet style lingerie. I have more size options.
