QUESTIONS ABOUT SHIPPING
If you have any further questions relating to shipping & delivery, please contact our team at customerservice@tavpacific.com.
Our sizing is designed to be suited to fit various body shapes. We use materials with stretch or elastic – lined waists for this purpose, and often our customers find they can fit two sizes in our products.
A smaller size which is included within your body measurement range will provide a more fitting silhouette, while bigger sizes within your body measurement range will offer a more comfortable fit.
Please note that this is only a guide. If you are still unsure which is the best size for you, we are here to help. Contact us at customerservice@tavpacific.com for assistance.
