FAQs

What is the best way to determine my size?

Refer to the Ann Summers sizing guide provided: X Small = 4-6, Small = 8-10, Medium = 12-14, Large = 16-18, X Large = 20-22, XX Large = 22-24. It is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear this body with different types of bras?

The Shade Body features built-in wired cups, so an additional bra is generally not needed. However, if extra support or coverage is desired, consider a seamless plunge bra that won't interfere with the neckline.

How should I clean the Ann Summers Shade Body?

It requires hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and machine washing or drying.

Is the red color likely to bleed?

When hand washing for the first time, it's advisable to wash it separately in cold water to prevent any potential color transfer, especially given the vibrant red hue.

What does 'Brazilian cut bum' mean?

A Brazilian cut refers to a specific style of brief or bottom that offers less coverage than a bikini cut but more than a thong, typically featuring a narrow panel at the back.

Can I return the item if it doesn't fit?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the vendor from whom you purchased the item.

What material is the body made of?

The primary material is PU (Polyurethane) with mesh panelling. The specific composition of the mesh is typically a blend of nylon and elastane for stretch and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide (X Small = 4-6, Small = 8-10, Medium = 12-14, Large = 16-18, X Large = 20-22, XX Large = 22-24). Adjust any popper fastenings.

PU material loses its sheen or appears creased.

Avoid ironing. Store flat and avoid folding sharply. If creased, try hanging in a steamy bathroom for a short period, but do not apply direct heat.

Mesh panels feel uncomfortable.

Ensure the garment is the correct size and fits smoothly. Wear with appropriate undergarments if needed for added comfort.
