Quick answer

Choose the larger size when you fall between two sizes, then treat the thong like delicate lingerie: hand wash it cold, skip the dryer, and check the lace and pearl strand before every wear.

Why the size chart combines height and fit, not just waist size

This thong is sized by height range and a fit preference (loose, fitted, or tight) rather than a single waist measurement. That matters because the lace and pearl strand sit close to the body, and the same labeled size can feel different depending on your torso length and how you like the band to sit.

The chart lists ranges from 165–170 cm up to 185–190 cm, with some combinations marked as unavailable. If your height and preferred fit land on a dash, move to the nearest available combination instead of guessing.

The trade-off: stretch helps, but pearls and lace still need care

A stretchy, adjustable fit makes the thong forgiving across body types, but it does not make the pearl strand or lace indestructible. Heat, harsh detergent, and tumble drying break down stretch fibers and can loosen the pearl trim over time.

That is why the care routine below is deliberately gentle. It takes a few extra minutes but protects both the look and the fit.

Step-by-step: size it, wear it, and care for it

  1. 1. Measure your height and pick your fit: Stand against a wall and mark your height, then find that range on the size chart. Choose loose, fitted, or tight based on how snug you want the band. Common mistake: guessing your height from memory; measure once so you land in the right row. If your height sits on a range boundary, use the larger range for a less restrictive fit.
  2. 2. Apply the between-sizes rule: If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size. Check that your chosen height row and fit column are actually available; if one is marked with a dash, move to the nearest available combination. Common mistake: picking a smaller size for a tighter look, which puts extra tension on the pearl strand. Comfort first: a slightly looser fit is easier to adjust and less likely to dig in.
  3. 3. Put it on without stretching the lace: Step into the thong, bring it up slowly, and adjust the band and open crotch so the pearl strand sits flat against your skin. Roll the lace rather than pulling it. Common mistake: yanking the waistband up in one motion, which stresses the lace edges. Sit, stand, and walk briefly before deciding whether the fit needs adjusting.
  4. 4. Hand wash cold after each wear: Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the thong, gently squeeze the lace and pearl strand, and rinse until the water runs clear. Common mistake: soaking it for hours or using hot water, which can weaken stretch fibers and dull the pearls. Wash separately from hook-and-eye or zippered items that can snag lace.
  5. 5. Dry flat and store loosely: Press the thong in a clean towel to remove water, then lay it flat to air dry away from direct sun and radiators. Store it folded loosely in a drawer or pouch. Common mistake: hanging it by the pearl strand, which stretches the trim. Check the pearl attachment and lace seams before each wear; repair loose threads before washing again.
