Choosing by style
One-piece swimsuit
Compare your bust, waist, hips, and torso length. Choose the size that corresponds to your largest measurement.
C-cup swimsuit
Choose this fit if you need moderate room at the bust and your measurements match the C-cup chart.
D-cup swimsuit
Choose this fit for more room, coverage, and support at the bust.
Athletic swimsuit
The swimsuit should fit close to the body to minimize fabric movement in the water without restricting your shoulders.
Shaping swimsuit
The fabric should smooth your silhouette without compressing, rolling, or restricting your breathing.
Swimdress
Use your bust and hip measurements. The skirt should fall naturally without pulling at the hips.
Tankini
Choose the top according to your bust and the bottom according to your hip measurement.
Long torso
Check the torso length. A style that is too short may pull at the shoulders or ride up at the crotch.
How to recognize a good fit
At the bust
Your bust should be fully contained and supported, without spilling or empty space.
At the shoulders
The straps should remain comfortable without pulling, slipping, or digging into your skin.
At the waist
The fabric should stay securely in place without rolling or restricting your breathing.
At the crotch
The swimsuit should not ride up or pull. Tension in this area may indicate that the torso is too short.
