FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I'm between sizes according to the sizing charts?
If your between sizes choose the bigger size as most of the shapers are high compression.
Can I get my shaper customized to my specific measurements?
Yes, we can work with you to customize your compression garment. The best and fastest way is to tailor a garment for inventory. For example we can shorten the length a specific amount or size down just the waist on a specific shaper. If its a customization that is more complex then we would make the garment from scratch. Since our Slender Bodies Compression garments are made in Colombia, we would have to account for production time, transit and customs processing time. This could be a 4 to 6 weeks turn over time.
What if I need to change my order?
If your order hasn't shipped we can try to make the changes to color, size or even style. If the order has been shipped, we will no longer be able to change the order. But we will give you instructions on how to exchange your order.
