Choosing based on the type of swimsuit
One-piece swimsuit
Use the chest, waist, hips, and especially the torso length. Choose the larger size if your measurements fall into several columns.
Bikini top
Choose primarily according to your chest circumference and the cup depth, when indicated.
Bikini bottom
Use mainly your hip measurement. The size should neither roll down nor compress the body.
Tankini
Choose according to your chest circumference, then check the waist and hips for a comfortable fit.
Sculpting model
The fabric should hug the body firmly and evenly without causing pain or limiting movement.
Beachwear
Use the alphabetical sizes and choose according to your largest measurement to maintain a flowing fit.
How to recognize a good fit
The chest
The chest should be fully covered, without overflowing or empty space in the cups.
The torso
The swimsuit should stay in place without pulling on the shoulders or sagging excessively at the crotch.
The waist
The fabric should remain smooth and comfortable without rolling, wrinkling, or compressing the abdomen.
The legs and hips
The openings should hug the body without cutting into the skin or letting the swimsuit ride up.
For a one-piece swimsuit, choose the size corresponding to your largest measurement and your torso length. Our team can help you choose the best fit for you.
