Size Guide

When it comes to swimwear, the right fit is essential for both comfort and confidence. We understand that finding the perfect size can sometimes be tricky, but with accurate measurements and a bit of guidance, you’ll be able to select the best fit for your body. Below, you’ll find our size chart to help you determine your swimwear size based on your measurements. Please keep in mind that swimwear sizing can vary slightly between different brands and styles, so we always recommend referring to the specific size chart provided for each product to ensure the most accurate fit. To make your decision easier, here are a few tips to help you figure out the perfect fit for you.

How to Measure for the Best Fit

Getting accurate measurements is essential to ensuring your swimwear fits comfortably and flatters your body. Follow the step-by-step instructions below for the most precise results.

1. Bust

Where to Measure: The bust is measured around the fullest part of your chest. This is usually across the nipple line, where the bust is at its widest.
How to Measure: Stand up straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. Take the measuring tape and wrap it around your back, under your shoulder blades, and across the fullest part of your bust. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight, and that it sits flat against your skin. Keep the tape comfortably firm, but don’t pull it too tight as you want to allow room for comfort.

Tip: If you have a fuller bust, you might want to measure over a bra (without padding) for more accuracy.

2. Waist

Where to Measure: Your waist is typically the narrowest part of your torso, just above your belly button and below your ribcage. If you're unsure where your natural waist is, bend to one side, and the crease formed is where you should measure.
How to Measure: Stand straight with your feet together. Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, making sure it’s parallel to the floor. Again, ensure the tape is snug but not tight—this is especially important around the waist area, as you don’t want to restrict your breathing or comfort.

Tip: Keep the tape comfortably snug, but make sure it doesn’t dig into your skin. You should be able to breathe normally.

3. Hips

Where to Measure: The hips are measured around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, which is typically around 7-9 inches below your waist, depending on your body shape. This is where you want the tape to sit.
How to Measure: Stand with your feet together and wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and sits comfortably around your body, not too tight or loose.

Tip: Keep the tape measure parallel to the ground, and be sure it’s not too tight or too loose. If you’re between sizes or have a curvier figure, you may want to round up to the next size for comfort.

What to Keep in Mind

Measurements are a guide: These measurements are general guidelines and may vary slightly between different brands and swimwear styles. Always refer to the specific size chart provided for each individual product you’re purchasing.
Fit Preferences: Swimwear sizing can also depend on how you prefer your swimwear to fit. For example, some customers prefer a snugger fit for more active or sporty swimsuits, while others prefer a looser, more relaxed fit for lounging by the pool. If you're between sizes or prefer a different fit, we recommend sizing up or down based on your personal preference.
Final Sale Items: Please be aware that swimwear purchased in final sale (non-returnable) cannot be exchanged or refunded due to sizing issues, so we recommend double-checking your size before making your purchase.

Tips for the Best Fit

Stretch & Fabric: Keep in mind that swimwear fabrics often include stretch, which means they can mold to your body shape after a few wears. So, if you’re between sizes, you may want to opt for the smaller size for a more snug fit.
Swimwear Styles: Different swimwear styles may fit differently depending on the cut and fabric used. For example, high-waisted bottoms may sit differently than low-rise styles, and underwired tops may offer more support than bandeau or triangle tops. Always check the product description for fit details!
Adjustable Features: Many of our swimwear styles have adjustable straps, ties, and clasps, which allow for a more customisable fit. If you're in between sizes, a style with adjustable features may give you a better fit.
