6. Why Pilates Clothes Fit Matters
-
Pilates features slow, controlled core and leg movements—poor fit can ride, bunch, or dig during routines.
-
Compression & four-way stretch fabrics vary significantly across brands—live advice ensures correct support.
-
Without Tellar, you’d rely on guesses or static charts that don’t factor fabric tension or cut.
