Swimwear Size Chart

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

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

Buying online is much more difficult. After all, fitting is not possible for everyone, but you don’t want to bother with the return of goods and further exchange in case of an error. In order not to be mistaken with the correct size of the chosen swimsuit when buying online, special tables have been developed to help determine the size of the swimsuit correctly. But this dimensional grid also has certain features.

When buying a swimsuit through an online store, there are several difficulties that are not noticeable at first.After all, you just need to compare your volumes in centimeters in the data in the table. But not everything is so simple. To begin with, it should be understood 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 shorter or taller height, 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 drawstring should be exactly at the waist, and the length of the straps is designed for standard equipment.

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

When buying a particular model, many girls rely on the fact that the fabric is elastic enough, so they think that even if the swimsuit is too small, it will still stretch. So, they are very deeply mistaken. The calculation for elasticity was originally laid down by designers and model designers, therefore, an 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 is at the junction of two sizes, then it is recommended to choose the one that is larger, as it will look more harmonious on the figure and will not squeeze in unnecessary places.

Before choosing any element of the wardrobe, you should determine your type of figure and after that choose the product you need and suit you. The same rule applies to buying a swimsuit.To correctly hide the flaws and emphasize the advantages, you need to choose the right models, which today's designers offer a huge variety, not to mention the original color schemes.

Girls with an hourglass figure will have no problems with the choice, since absolutely any model suits them.

Swimsuits are suitable for a pear shape, both closed and separate. It is recommended for such girls to buy panties with a bandeau bodice, since in this case the top is universal, and there will be no problems with choosing a size. With wide hips and narrower shoulders and chest, swimsuits with drapery or ruffles on the bodice will be ideal.

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

Girls with inverted triangle figures should do exactly the opposite. Maximum attention should be drawn to the hips, so models with a voluminous bottom, or one-piece monokini with tight cups, are ideal for them, since the chest of this figure is usually voluminous. In any case, when buying a closed swimsuit, you 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 changes and the results of measurements may pleasantly surprise you.

You need to measure the figure in a special way, each part has its own nuances, which must be taken into account. It is advisable to take the help of a friend or mother, as they will be able to produce everything more accurately.So, the volume of the hips should be measured at the level of the most protruding points on the buttocks, and the centimeter should be kept horizontally and not pulled too hard, but you should not hold the measuring device freely either. The same goes for the waist circumference. The centimeter is held strictly horizontally and as evenly as possible. If the indicator stopped in the middle between two digits, then it should be rounded up to a larger length so as not to be mistaken in size.

You need to measure the chest in two places, first you need to determine the size of the girth of the area under the chest and only then measure the chest with a centimeter at two maximum protruding points. This is necessary in order to more accurately determine the fullness of the bra cup. The centimeter in the second case must be raised on the back just above the shoulder blades. Determining the size of the cup is important, especially if the bodice has bones or a push-up effect.

After measurements, you just need to compare your 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 amazing on the beach in a swimsuit that fits perfectly on you, which will emphasize your dignity.

After all body parts are measured correctly, you can begin to compare your data with size 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 in centimeters.

• If OT is 57-59 cm, and OB is 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 your waist circumference is 72-75 cm, and your hip circumference is 98-101 cm, then you should choose size 46, and if 76-79 cm and 102-105 cm, then 48.
• Girls with OT 80-83 cm and OB 106-109 cm should buy size 50, and ladies with OT 84-87 cm and OB 110-113 cm are recommended to take 52.
• When measuring 88-91 cm at the waist and 114-117 cm at the hips, size 54 should be chosen, and with 92-95 cm and 118-121 cm - 56.
• Owners of OT 96-98 cm and OB 122-125 cm will need 58, and 99-102 cm and 126-129 cm - 60 Russian size.
• With OT 103-106 centimeters and OB 130-133 centimeters, size 62 will be needed, and with 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 find the right bikini for you, you'll need waist and hip measurements to fit the right panty size, and two bust measurements for a bra. How to choose the bottom of a swimsuit is described above, but how to buy the right bodice will be discussed later.

To begin with, you should measure the girth of the part under the bust, and then the full girth of the chest at 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, guided by a special table, calculate the size you need.

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

As for the English dimensional grid, everything looks a little different here, since the British measure their figure in inches, not centimeters. Of course, on Internet sites, as a rule, there are two tables in both computing systems, but still it is worth familiarizing yourself 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 size 46, then among the British, exactly 8 will suit you.

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

In such a situation, it is worth deciding for yourself, first of all, what kind of cut you need: loose or tight-fitting. And then already make the final choice in favor of one or another size. But usually, all sites of online stores have their own tables of nonsense, according to which you can easily choose the size you need.

Well, ideally, of course, it is best to buy a swimsuit after trying it on, in order 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 colored pareo will also become excellent companions of any fashionable model.
