Women's Swimwear Measurement Guide

To find your perfect swimsuit fit:

1. Bust Measurement: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape parallel to the floor, ensuring it's snug but comfortable.
2. Natural Waist Measurement: Locate the narrowest section of your waist (typically just above your belly button). Measure around this area with the tape parallel to the floor, neither too tight nor too loose.
3. Hip Measurement: Measure the fullest part of your hips and buttocks (approximately 7-9 inches below your natural waist). Maintain the tape parallel to the floor with a comfortable tension.

For best results, stand with good posture and breathe normally during all measurements.

Keep in mind that suits with adjustable features generally offer better fit flexibility. The perfect swimsuit should feel comfortable and secure while allowing natural movement. Consider both your measurements and the suit's design elements to find your ideal fit.

Notes on Swimwear Fit and Adjustability:

• Adjustable Styles: Swimsuits with lace-up designs, tie backs, or adjustable straps offer greater size flexibility and can accommodate between-size measurements.
• Convertible Swimwear: Styles with removable padding or adjustable coverage can be customized to your preference and may work across multiple size ranges.
• Ruched Designs: Swimsuits featuring ruching typically provide more forgiving fit and can accommodate slight size variations.
• Stretch Factor: Materials with higher elastane/spandex content (15-20%) offer better size tolerance than less stretchy fabrics.
• Bandeau Styles: These often include removable straps and may work for various bust sizes, but provide less support for larger cup sizes.
• One-Piece Considerations: If your top and bottom measurements fall in different size categories, consider styles with adjustability features or opt for separates.
• High-Waisted Options: These bottoms often provide more flexibility in fit around the midsection and can accommodate various torso lengths.
• Size Tolerance: Always check brand-specific size charts as tolerance ranges can vary significantly between manufacturers.
