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.

soft, silky and pretty. Great fabric and color! The rise is much too long for my short body. Would be perfect in a petite

The drawstring makes these a winner. The only problem was I liked the material on your pajama set bottom better. It was cooler.

I love these pajama pants. I needed something for warm weather at home and for travel. They are light weight, comfortable, easy to wash, and very easy to pack! This is my second pair.

These drawstring PJ pants are the finest and highest-quality available, hands down. They’re on clearance so, won’t be around much longer. The material is true polyester liquid satin, manufactured with the bias. If they are layered with a nylon fabric, they are extra slippery. I’m going to include a brief rating for Shadowline’s shipping and customer relations; top notch all the way !!

I purchased two colors for my daughter who is an athlete, and am returning and ordering a larger size. The construction, texture and quality of the fabric, and colors met the company’s high standard; however the length is too short and the thigh width too narrow.
