JULIEN MACDONALD X TLC SIZING
Sizing Note: Our JMXTLC Collection comes up a little small, please use the below size chart to find your correct fit.
|
SIZING TIPS:
- Don’t be afraid to go up or down a size. All our clothing contains high spandex properties, which stretch and retract when necessary.
- If you are between sizes, go the size up, not down.
- If you prefer a generous fit, simply go up in size until you reach your desired look and fit.
- Some of our bottoms come in three different leg lengths, so check you order the right length for you.
- We currently stock UK sizes 8-22, however if you fall outside this range, we are more than happy to manufacture your size, at no extra cost. Simply email us with the product and your desired size.
- If you have special clothing requirements, or would like a bespoke item made, we will accommodate your needs wherever possible. This usually incurs an extra £25 fee.

As Seen In
Designed by women for women
Core Support That Won't Quit
Real tummy control without the fight. Our double-layer power mesh works with your body, not against it. No pinching, no rolling - just smooth support from bust to waist. Perfect for everything from yoga to errands.
See the Difference
Our Figure Firming™ fabric (with 14% elastane) means business. Lifts your bum, shapes your legs, and supports your curves - all while letting you move freely. Plus, it's helped countless women manage DVT, lymphoedema, and varicose veins.
Quality That Lasts
Day 1 or day 100? You won't notice the difference. Our premium viscose blend keeps its compression power and shape wash after wash. That's why we back every pair with a 1-year guarantee. Choose from three support levels:
- Extra Strong: Maximum hold with medical-grade benefits (25mmHg equivalent)
- Strong: Firm support that doesn't restrict movement
- Medium: Light compression for all-day comfort
Bottoms That Actually Work
Finally, compression that doesn't quit on you.
Had enough of rolling waistbands and see-through fabric? So were we. That's why we created leggings that stay put, hold their shape, and feel good enough to wear all day. No more adjusting, no more changing outfits - just get on with your day.
”This company have thought about how they can provide quality service and implemented that across the various steps. Swift, efficient and pleasant.”
