Swimwear Size Chart

The summer season, and with it the beach season is already on its way. Accordingly, it is time to think about purchasing the right accessories, clothes, shoes and, of course, a swimsuit. Modern brands offer a huge number of models and a wide color gamut, among which it will be difficult enough to choose only one. After all, they all shake the imagination of the original appearance, beautiful color scheme, as well as the incredible elements of decor that adorn them with creative designers.

When choosing a swimsuit, be sure to measure it to be sure that it sits on you perfectly and does not press anywhere and does not fall down. In the store it is easy to do, it is enough to take the desired model in two sizes and measure both in the fitting room. After that, you can easily understand exactly what size you need.

With the purchase in the online store is much more complicated. After all, fitting is not possible at all, but with the return of the goods and the subsequent exchange, I don’t want to bother with an error. In order not to be mistaken with the correct size of the chosen swimsuit when buying over the Internet, special tables were developed to help correctly determine the size of the swimsuit. But this mesh also has certain features.

When buying a swimsuit through the online store there are several difficulties that are initially invisible. After all, you just need to compare your volumes in centimeters in the data in the table. But not everything is so simple. For a start, you should understand that the standard marking corresponds to the type of hourglass figure and an average height of 168 centimeters. If you are the owner of a lower or tall, then the standard size is not for you.

In particular, the difference is noticeable when buying a one-piece swimsuit or a monokini model, where the pull-down cord should be exactly at the waist, and the length of the strapless is designed for standard equipment.

First you need to choose the right model that suits your body type. Decide for yourself exactly what you need: a closed swimsuit or a separate one. And then measure your body correctly.

When buying a particular model, many girls are counting on the fact that the fabric is quite elastic, so they think that even if the swimsuit turns out to be too small, it will still stretch. So, they are very deeply mistaken. Calculation of elasticity was originally laid by designers and model designers, therefore, incorrect or too confident calculation will bring more discomfort than joy when purchasing. Many brands specifically even pay attention to this item.

If suddenly your data were at the junction of two sizes, then it is recommended to choose the one that is larger, since it will look more harmonious on the figure and will not be pressed in unnecessary places.

Before choosing any element of the wardrobe, you should determine your type of figure and after that select the desired and suitable product. The same rule applies to the purchase of a swimsuit. To correctly hide the flaws and emphasize the merits you need to choose the right models, which the current designers offer a great many, not to mention the original colors.

The girls with the hourglass figure will have no problems with the choice, since absolutely any model is suitable for them.

The figure "pear" fit swimwear as a closed type, and separate. Such girls are advised to buy panties with a gang bodice, as in this case the top is universal and there will be no problems with choosing the size. With wide hips and narrow shoulders and chest, swimsuits with drapes or ruffles on the bodice will be ideal.

When choosing a swimsuit should pay attention to the fact that the size of the panties must be larger than the size of the bodice.

Girls with "inverted triangle" figures should act with exactly the opposite. Maximum attention should be attracted to the thighs, so for them ideal models will be models with volumetric bottom, or fused monokini with tight cups, since the chest of this figure is usually voluminous. In any case, when buying a closed swimsuit should focus on the size of the bust, and separate swimsuits can be made up of two different models.

Before buying a swimsuit be sure to measure the figure, regardless of whether you remember your data or not. The body is changing and the measurement results may surprise you.

To measure a figure you need a special way, each part has its own nuances that must be taken into account. It is advisable to take the help of a girlfriend or mother, as they can produce more and more accurately. So, the volume of the hips should be measured at the level of the most prominent points on the buttocks, and the centimeter should be held horizontally and not too tight, but you shouldn’t hold the measuring device freely either. The same applies to the waist circumference. The centimeter keeps strictly horizontally and as much as possible exactly. If the indicator has stopped in the middle between two numbers, then it should be rounded to a greater length, so as not to be mistaken in size.

It is necessary to measure the breast in two places, for a start it is necessary to determine the size of the circumference of the area under the breast and only then measure the breast with a centimeter at the two most prominent points. This is necessary to more accurately determine the completeness of the cup bra. In the second case, a centimeter should be raised on the back a little higher than the shoulder blades. It is important to determine the size of the cup, especially if the bodice has bones or a push-up effect.

After measurements, it is only necessary to compare their data with the dimensional grid indicated on the seller’s website. With competent actions, you will definitely be able to choose the right size for yourself and look delightful on the beach in a bathing suit that fits perfectly on you, which will emphasize your merits.

After all parts of the body are measured correctly, you can begin to verify your data with the dimensional tables. As a rule, they are always listed in the information section on the website of each online store.

And so, in order to choose a one-piece model of a swimsuit or panties, you will need to know the waist and hips girth in centimeters.

• If FROM 57-59 cm, and ABOUT 80-83 cm, then your Russian size is 38.
• For size 40, your data should be as follows: 60-63 cm and 84-88 cm, for 42: 64-67 cm and 89-93 cm, and for 44: 68-71 and 94-97 cm.
• If the girth of your waist is 72-75 cm, and the girth of the hips is 98-101 cm, then you should choose 46 size, and if 76-79 cm and 102-105 cm, then 48.
• Girls with OT 80-83 cm and OB 106-109 cm should buy 50 size, and for ladies with O 84-87 cm and OB 110-113 cm, it is recommended to take 52.
• When measuring 88-91 cm in the waist and 114-117 cm in the hips should choose 54 size, and at 92-95 cm and 118-121 cm - 56.
• Owners of 96-98 cm and OB 122-125 cm will need 58, and 99-102 cm and 126-129 cm - 60 Russian size.
• With FROM 103-106 centimeters and OB 130-133 centimeters will need 62 size, and at 107-109 cm and 134-137 cm - 64.
• If FROM 110-113 cm, and OB 138-141 cm, then you should choose 66, and if FROM 114-117 cm, and OB 142-145 cm, then 68 Russian size.

To choose the right bikini for yourself, you will need the size of the waist circumference and hips for the selection of the right size of the panties and two chest circumference for the bra. How to choose the bottom of the swimsuit is described above, but how to buy the bodice correctly, will be described below.

First you need to measure the girth of the part under the breast, and then the full girth of the chest on the protruding points. In order to determine the volume of the cup, you need to subtract the first from the indicators of the second girth and, using the special table, calculate the size you need.

If you make a purchase in the online store, which is located in Europe, you should very accurately examine the European dimensional grid. To do this, measure your chest, waist and hips and correlate the resulting figures with a table of European sizes. But there is another proven method that is much easier and faster. And it consists in the following: you just need to take away six units from its Russian size. That is, if you wear 46, then among European ones, 46 - 6 will suit you, and this turns out to be 40. Accordingly, the resulting figure will be the right and right size. These calculations include French, German and Italian swimsuits, as well as products manufactured in other Western European countries.

As for the English dimensional grid, then everything looks a little different, as the British measure their figure in inches, not in centimeters. Of course, on the Internet sites, as a rule, there are two tables in both computing systems, but still it is worth getting acquainted with the features of the products of this country.

In principle, everything is as simple as with European sizes, only here you need to subtract thirty-eight units from your Russian and you will get the English you need. For example, 46 - 38 = 8, respectively, if you are the owner of 46 size, then among the British you will fit exactly 8.

Naturally, the most common size markings are letters - S, M, L, and so on. This table, as a rule, will try on not only in Europe, but also in the USA. With this marking it is worth being especially careful, as they sometimes have paired sizes. For example, the size M, can correspond to both the Russian 44 and 46 sizes.

In such a situation, it is worthwhile to decide first of all for yourself what kind of cut you need: loose or tight. And then to make the final choice in favor of a particular size. But usually all websites of online stores have their own tables of nonsense, according to which you can easily find the size you need.

Well, ideally, of course, it is best to buy a swimsuit after fitting, to be sure of its perfect fit.

Be sure to complement it with accessories in the form of a hat and large glasses, a bag with wicker handles and a color pareo will also become excellent companions of any fashionable model.
