I'm planning on getting one of the brief styles with a lot of back coverage anyway.&nbsp; <br /><br />Parsley, yes, the Shimeras did not work for me.&nbsp; I have 2 pairs in different sizes and they were all too small in back and too big in front.&nbsp; I also tried the laser-cut elastic-free type (2 brands, CK and Uniqlo) which are super comfy and don't give me wedgies, but the sides scrunch up on me because there is nothing holding them down.&nbsp; <br /><br />I am planning on getting the high leg briefs in the Vanishing edge, so hopefully the leg openings will be larger/less tight with the silicone.&nbsp; <br /><br />They have buy 3 get 2 free right now... so I thought I'd try a couple of vanishing edge pairs and some of their regular ones as well... I am kind of dissatisfied with my old standby Gap hipsters lately (they still fit well, but the new fabric falls apart so fast) so I'm looking for different options.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soma-underwear-sizing#post-906903 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:08:14 +0000 Angie 906903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Marianna said. Do NOT go too small. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soma-underwear-sizing#post-906901 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:07:23 +0000 Parsley 906901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just an FYI: the Soma vanishing edge underwear has silicone strips along the edges to keep it from slipping, and while it does work, I absolutely HATE how it feels! Obviously lots of people aren't bothered by it, but I wouldn't buy too many pairs before you decide whether you like them. I much prefer my Shimera panties&nbsp;(but do I remember that you didn't like them?). Did you try more than one style? They absolutely do not show under clothes, either. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soma-underwear-sizing#post-906889 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:57:25 +0000 marianna 906889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wear exclusively&nbsp;Soma vanishing edge&nbsp;and I would say they run on the generous side or true to size. Not small in my experience! Gap/VS runs smaller than Soma, for sure. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soma-underwear-sizing#post-906854 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:27:14 +0000 Diana 906854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So I'm still looking for good seamless underwear for my wedding dress and other chiffon dresses.&nbsp; Angie suggested I try the Soma vanishing edge underwear.&nbsp; There is no Soma store near me so I will have to order online.&nbsp; I was wondering if I could get some sizing advice.&nbsp; How do they compare to VS or gap underwear?&nbsp; I tend to size down in underwear so long as it is cut with a generous back coverage since if I follow the size chart the front part is always too big.&nbsp; However, I've read that you should size up for the vanishing edge because they run small and you don't want indentations.&nbsp; I am specifically thinking about the high-leg briefs if that matters.<br /><br />I thought I might also order some of their other underwear (non-vanishing edge but still supposed to be very light and no-show) to try also, so is the sizing for that different?&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /><br />
