Using a fabric tape measure, obtain body measurements as follows and compare to the size chart below.
BUST: Measure around your body at fullest part of bust, keeping tape under arms and fairly level front to back. Larger busted women will have a more accurate reading if bra is worn during measurement.
WAIST: Measure around your natural waistline holding the tape comfortably loose.
HIPS: Stand with heels together. Measure around hips at fullest part (approx. 9″ below waist).
Tips for getting the correct size are at the bottom of this page:

We have kept the original Dixie Belle panty sizing, which fits a little smaller than Shadowline panties. Once you know your Shadowline panty size (check our size chart at the top of the page if you’re unsure), you can use the comparison chart below to find your equivalent size in Dixie Belle:
Additional sizing tips:
- Bust measurements are more important for full slips, camisoles and garments with loose, flowing bottoms such as nightgowns or sleepshirts.
- Hip measurements are more important for garments with closer fitting bottoms like slips, pajamas and panties.
- If one of your measurements falls in a larger size or you prefer very loose garments, you may be more comfortable in selecting a larger size.
- Shadowline sizes garments for generous comfort. If you prefer your clothing form fitting, you may want to order a smaller size.
- Slip lengths (full and half slips) are measured from the waist down – nightgowns and sleepshirts are measured from the shoulder down.
- Bra size is NOT the same thing as bust size. Generally, you can convert by adding bra band size (i.e., 34, 36, etc.) to cup size in inches (A=1″, B=2″, C=3″, D=4″, DD=5″). For example, a 34C Bra size = 37″ Bust measurement. Measuring your body is the most accurate method for sizing.
- All of our products are listed in US sizing. Shopping from abroad? Use the conversion chart below to find your US size equivalent:

Hi Barbara, we’re glad to hear you loved the fit! You might like to try the 17017 or 17052 panties next time – they are also both full briefs, but made from our thicker (and more opaque) Opacitrique® nylon.

Hi, you might like to try the 17032 panty in this case – it comes in a much wider variety of colors! The only difference is the elastic style, the shape and fabric are the same.

I had ordered your panties from another provider in the past. I had hoped they would be the same, but found that they were not the same fabric. The older ones were a heavier nylon. I’d pay more for the old ones.
Reply from Shadowline® (store manager) –
Hi! Our two signature nylon fabrics are exactly the same as always (we’ve been producing them on the very same machines since the 1960s), however it sounds like you may have bought a style made from our Opacitrique® nylon previously, which is a thicker nylon. Most of our panties are made from semi-sheer Satintrique®, but if you prefer a heavier and more opaque nylon then we recommend trying styles 17017 (neutral colors) or 17052 (fashion colors). We hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for your purchase! You are correct that there are some sizing differences between Shadowline® and Dixie Belle® panties (Dixie Belle® fits smaller). There is a handy comparison chart on our Size Guide page: https://www.shadowlinelingerie.com/size-guide

Hi, we’re sorry to hear that! You might like to try the 17032 panty instead – it’s the same cut and same fabric, but with a different waistband elastic. It comes in a wider range of colors too.

The fit was perfect. They did have a cotton crotch. They were made of very thin material. Prior purchases the material was thicker.
Reply from Shadowline® (store manager) –
Hi, these panties are made from our exclusive Satintrique® fabric which we’ve been manufacturing here in the USA, and on the very same machines, since the 1960s. Note that it is a thinner fabric than our Opacitrique® nylon, which some of our other panties are made from.

Actually, these panties ran much larger than the ones I ordered from the previous company. So I have to return them for a size smaller. But I do like them.

The quality of the material it’s good. However I had only ordered from Dixie Belle before and I didn’t realize there would be such a difference in sizing. I order the same size as I always did with Dixie Belle and the ones I got were huge. I think I could have gone down two sizes with the new brand.
Reply from Shadowline Lingerie® (store manager) –
Hi! Rather than change the Dixie Belle design when we relaunched it to match Shadowline sizing, we decided to keep the original design unchanged including the sizing. Therefore they do fit slightly differently. If you need help selecting your size in either brand, we have created a useful comparison chart here: https://www.shadowlinelingerie.com/blog/lingerie-fit/panty-style-guide-how-to-choose-the-best-panty-for-you

Shadowline panties have definitely been on the top of my favorites list for 45 years. The brief style, Hi-cut style, and bikini style all are favorites of mine! I wish Shadowline would continue offering the bikini panties, have been able to purchase any for quite a long time. A little lace on leg openings would be very nice too!
