HOW TO DETERMINE THE SIZE OF A SWIMSUIT AND A TUNIC

When choosing a swimsuit or tunic, it is important to determine their size as accurately as possible. A swimsuit, like a second skin, should fit the figure well and not hinder movement. The tunic, on the contrary, should be loose and comfortable to wear.

To determine the size of a swimsuit using a centimeter tape, take your measurements:

· Chest circumference: the measuring tape should pass at the level of the armpits along the protruding parts of the shoulder blades and along the highest points of the mammary glands. For figures with a low chest, when taking this measurement, the centimeter tape in front must still be placed strictly horizontally

Under bust: Measure so that the tape runs under the bust and under the shoulder blades

Waist: Measure at the natural waistline at the narrowest point

Hip circumference: measure at the most protruding part of the hips, taking into account the bulge of the abdomen

Bust (cm)	Waist (cm)	Hips (cm)

Cup size:

Russian the size	Girth under chest (cm)	Bust (cm) / CUP SIZE

Average age group:

To translate the European / Chinese sizes into the corresponding Russian size, you need to add a certain figure to its indicator. But h There is no clear ratio of European / Chinese and Russian sizes. This is due to the fact that their beachwear is sewn on a reference figure, and the physique of Russian women is completely different. Therefore, for your convenience, in each product card there is a table that shows the ratio of marking and Russian sizes of this particular swimsuit model.

A huge range of swimwear and a variety of one-piece, separate and sports models makes it difficult to choose. It is equally important to determine the size of a swimsuit, because it should fit perfectly on a woman, emphasize the dignity of her figure and delicately hide flaws. But when buying, it’s not enough to focus only on the size, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the physique.

Types and models of swimwear

There are the following types of swimwear:

One-piece. Closed models are ideal for full women with wide hips and shoulders. A bright bodice with comfortable cups, straps, or wide straps will help to hide the flaws of the figure.

separate. The option with separate swimming trunks and bodice is more versatile. He is able to hide the cons of almost any figure.

There are the following models of swimsuits:

Bikini. It is characterized by triangle-shaped bowls and small bottoms with drawstrings. Suitable for ladies with perfect shapes.

bando. Features a bodice that wraps around the bust like a ribbon. Suitable for those with narrow shoulders and small breasts. There are also fused models that are suitable for thin girls.

Tankini. The top is like a top. Ideally sit on a girl with a full belly and hips.

Halter. The bodice fastens with ties around the neck. The bowls will sit well on busty young ladies. There are also fused models that balance the chest and hips well.

Swimdress. Represents a top and a skirt starting from the chest. Hides extra centimeters from full ladies.

Mayo. Bathing suit with attached shoulder straps.

Tank. Model with one-piece straps, visually makes the figure more slender.

Plunge. Features deep cutouts front and back. Lengthens the body and makes the chest bigger.

high neck. A model with a small cutout in front will suit girls with a sporty body type.

Monokini. Looks good on ladies with a full belly.

Important! It is necessary to make a choice of a swimsuit not only taking into account the size, but also the model.

How to determine the size of a two-piece swimsuit

To determine the size, you will need to take the following measurements:

• Bust girth. The measurement is taken with a tailor's tape along the protruding points on the chest and shoulder blades.
• Girth under the bust. This is the circumference of the body under the mammary glands.
• Cup volume. It is calculated mathematically according to the formula: (OG - OPG) / 6, where OG is the circumference of the chest, and OPG is the circumference under the chest.
• Waist. It is measured along the natural line in the narrowest part above the navel by 2-3 cm.
• Hip circumference. The centimeter must pass along the protruding points on the buttocks at the widest point.

Important! Measurements are taken in a standing position with a straight posture over thin linen or on a naked body.

The obtained values ​​\u200b\u200bmust be compared with the dimensional grids of manufacturers. But it should be remembered that each of them uses its own standards.

There are the following sizing systems:

1. Patriotic. Size range from 40 to 50. Girth under bust 63-87 cm, chest girth - 80-105 cm, waist - 63-82 cm, hips - 85-110 cm. To calculate your Russian size, you need to divide the chest girth by 2 .
2. European. Sizes differ from Russian by 6 units, for example, 40 corresponds to foreign 34. French sizes differ by 4 units. Italian ones are marked with numbers from 1 to 7, where 1 corresponds to size 42, and 7 to Russian size 54.
3. International. Marking is done using Latin letters, the range of values ​​is from XS to XL, where S is a small size, and L is a very large one. The standard size is indicated by the letter M.

Important! All values ​​in the size charts are even. If odd numbers are obtained when taking measurements, then you need to choose a swimsuit one size larger.

Also, all tables for separate swimsuits are divided into two types:

• grids for the upper part, where the volume of the cup is indicated from AA to G and the size of the bra is from 60 (58-62 cm) to 100 (98-102 cm);
• tables for swimming trunks, which indicate sizes from 45 to 54, and the reference is the width of the hips.

How to determine the size of a one-piece swimsuit

This type of bathing suit consists of a continuous piece of fabric. It is ideal for young ladies with voluminous forms who love outdoor activities or visit the pool. To determine the size, in addition to the waist and hips, you will need to calculate the height. This is a decisive indicator, measured from the top of the head to the heels.

Dimensional tables are divided into:

• Domestic. Size range - 38-68 with a waist circumference of 57-117 cm, hips - 80-145 cm.
• European. The sizes are in the range of 32-62 and differ from Russian ones by 6 units.
• American and English. Values ​​range from 0 to 30. They differ from Russians by exactly 38 units.

The nuances of choosing a swimsuit

Many representatives of the fair sex believe that to buy a swimsuit it is enough to know your size. However, this is not quite true. It is not enough to determine your parameters, you need to take into account the individual characteristics of the figure.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the standard markings in the manufacturer's size charts are focused on the ideal type of figure - "hourglass" and a height of about 168 cm. Therefore, girls with disproportionate shapes, low or high growth need to focus on the type of figure and model, to the choice of which must be approached very responsibly. This is especially true for one-piece swimsuits and monokini, where the waistband should clearly indicate the waistline, and the length of the straps is designed for standard parameters.

Choosing a swimsuit according to the type of figure

A swimsuit is that piece of clothing that should look perfect on a woman, hide body flaws and emphasize dignity. Therefore, it is not enough to determine only the size, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the physique, namely the type of figure:

"Rhombus". Girls with a wide waist, sides and pelvis, medium-sized breasts, thin shoulders and hips should choose models with contrasting colors and a V-neck, emphasizing the fragility of the shoulders and the beauty of the chest.

"Triangle" and "pear". In ladies with this type of physique, the emphasis is on the weighted lower body, while the “triangle” waist line is poorly drawn. They should choose models that would balance the hips and shoulders with wide bottoms, thin straps, cutouts in the hip area. It is better for "pears" to choose fused models of a sports type with a solid color or a white insert in the chest area.

"Inverted Triangle". This figure is characterized by broad shoulders and a narrow pelvis. In this case, one-piece or separate tank and tankini swimsuits will look good.

"Rectangles". For women with a poorly defined waistline, the same hips and shoulders, a monokini or plunge with decorative elements in the hip area, symmetrical cutouts, inserts, and high bottoms will suit. Horizontal ornament and foam rubber in cups are contraindicated.

"Apple" or "oval". Ladies with a voluminous chest and a waist wider than the hips will suit a tankini or hatler model with ties around the neck, square and v-shaped necklines, and ruffles on the stomach. Bright and shiny swimwear is contraindicated.

"Hourglass". The most ideal type of figure, characterized by proportionality of forms. In this case, any colors and models will do.

It is necessary to take into account such subtleties:

• Women with small breasts should choose a push-up swimsuit (push-up) or with cups that support the chest, such as a bandeau. It will be advantageous to emphasize the breasts with options with a horizontal stripe or drapery on a bra.
• Ladies with fuller busts should opt for an underwire top that supports the bust, as well as bras with a slimming mesh and wide straps. In this case, it is better to choose two-tone models with a white bottom and a black top.
• Women with wide hips will benefit from voluminous bodices with a geometric or transverse pattern that visually enlarge the chest, which will make the figure more balanced. Combined models will also look good, where the bottom is dark in color, and the top is a light shade.
• Ladies with curvy shapes should choose one-piece swimsuits in rich colors from dense fabric with a floral print or vertical stripes. Such models keep their shape well and visually make the figure slimmer.

What else to consider when buying

When buying a bathing suit, you should consider the following points:

1. Quality. The swimsuit should last at least two or three seasons.
2. Comfort. A bathing suit should not restrict movement, put pressure on the skin, or vice versa be too loose.
3. Color palette. It is chosen taking into account the color of the woman's hair and eyes, skin tone and type of figure.
4. Production material. The most reliable models are considered to be made of textiles, microfiber, polyamide, polyester, tactile with a small addition of lycra. Such products are more elastic and stretch better, while returning to their original shape, pleasant to the touch, and also dry quickly and do not fade in the sun.
5. seams. Should not dig into the skin, squeeze it, forming folds on the body.
6. accessories. Wooden, plastic or metal elements can cause discomfort if the swimsuit is not chosen in size. In addition, the fastener on the bodice must be strong and not unfasten on its own.

It is strongly not recommended to choose a bathing suit for the "eye". It is necessary not only to take all measurements and find the corresponding values ​​in the manufacturer's original size tables, but also to take into account the type of figure and its individual characteristics. It is equally important to choose the right type and model of a swimsuit.

One-piece, separate, sports, combined, high-waisted, bikini, monokini, trikini, bandeau, bodysuit, with a soft and dense cup, with thongs and a skirt, with and without straps - and all this is about the types of swimsuits. How to choose the right swimsuit and the right size? How not to get lost in this abundance, to understand the types of styles and find "your" model?

Models of separate swimsuits are also called open. The degree of openness of the top and bottom may vary. These types of swimsuits are good because you can combine the top and bottom both in style, style and color.

• "Bikini". The most open of all types of swimwear. Its feature is small panties in the form of two triangles that are tied at the hips. The bra can be with soft and padded cups, with underwire and without a frame, with or without push up inserts. This is the largest group of models.
• Monokini, Trikini. These models can also be attributed to the type of merged, but as open as possible. Their distinguishing feature is the detail that connects the top and bottom. The options may be different: a wide strip in the middle of the abdomen, thin straps on the sides, weaving ribbons. These original and seductive models emphasize the elegance of style.
• "Bando". The gang model, as in the one-piece version, also has a horizontal line. It can be with a soft, hard cup, with a frame, underwire, with straps on the sides, in the middle and without straps.

Features of sports models

Models of sports semi-closed swimsuits are sewn from dense, elastic fabrics that fit the body well, but do not restrict movement. As a rule, in sports models, the cup is sealed, which supports the chest. For swimming, sports beach games, acrobatics, one-piece swimsuit models with tight seams, closed chest and back are most often chosen. There are also separate models with a sealed cup, but without a frame. For the pool, you can use models of the "body" type with the most closed back and chest.

Swimsuit and body type

How to choose a swimsuit according to your figure? And even so, to be satisfied with the new purchase and there was a low waist? After all, it often happens that a swimsuit is acquired spontaneously: someone liked it, liked the color or an interesting model. But at the first exit to the beach, you feel stiffness, inconvenience, discomfort. To avoid this, you need to know about some of the nuances of choosing a model depending on the type of figure.

• Leotard for pear shape. The disproportionality of the silhouette is the main feature of such a figure. It is characterized by: a light, narrow top and a heavy bottom with wide hips, full legs. It is worth drawing attention to the elegant top and distracting from problem areas. What models will help to do this? For such a figure, both separate and one-piece swimsuits are suitable. In separate models, the straps on the bodice should be thin to emphasize the graceful neck and arms. Swimming trunks should be wide to accentuate the waist. Foam inserts, ruffles, drapery of the bodice will help to balance the disproportion of the silhouette. The flaws of the figure are emphasized: swimming trunks with ties, a high neckline on the hips, panties with a skirt, thin bikinis. Among the one-piece models, you should pay attention to the bathing suits in the Empire style with a thin strap, a wide constriction under the bust. Solid-color sports swimsuits with a light horizontal insert under the bust will also look good on such a figure.
• Leotard for the figure "apple". This type is characterized by: slender legs, graceful arms, a rounded shape of the abdomen and chest, without a pronounced waist. With such data, you need to emphasize the legs, visually lengthen the torso, do not focus on the chest and abdomen. What swimsuit models are most suitable? The ideal option is a tankini in the form of a T-shirt with wide straps and a deep neckline. You can choose a halter - with ties around the neck. High-cut silhouettes will slim your legs even more. One-piece swimsuits with wide straps, square or V-neck are also suitable. Ruffles and draperies in the abdomen well "disguise" a wide waist. What else to pay attention to? The material should be dense and elastic, without shine. Bra cups must have underwire. A woman with an apple shape in a bikini, strapless or with thin straps will be uncomfortable.
• Swimsuit for a rectangle figure. This type does not have a defined waist, the silhouette has the shape of a rectangle. The task when choosing a swimsuit is to divert attention from the wide waist. To smooth out imbalances, it is better to choose styles with high swimming trunks, a U-shaped neck, thin straps, cups without foam, wide bodices. Of the models, feminine tankinis are most suitable. Wide swimming trunks with decorative accessories (skirts, ruffles, belts) will increase the hips in volume, thereby visually narrowing the waist. Sports swimsuits with smooth lines are well suited for a rectangular figure, they will only emphasize the dignity of the figure. You can also safely wear separate swimsuits, the upper and lower parts of which are connected by a strip. What highlights imperfections? Geometric cutouts, thongs, shorts, bandeau bodice.
• Leotard for an hourglass figure. Women with an hourglass figure in swimsuits of any style look flawless. A balanced top and bottom does not require any "camouflage" and "distraction" moments. However, nature is not perfect. With this type of figure, there are magnificent forms, large or small breasts, wide hips. But the main advantage - a graceful waist - always remains. With an average build, you can choose a style without straps or with straps through the neck. With more magnificent forms, the chest should be well fixed, the bodice should be on wide straps or tied around the neck. Stretch one-piece swimsuits that accentuate the waist line are well suited. It is desirable that the selected model be with a rigid cup. Short legs with such a figure will visually lengthen the high neckline on the hips and triangular neckline. An elongated torso can be “shortened” with rounded cutouts on the sides.
• Swimsuit for big bust. In this case, it is necessary to consider not only the aesthetic, but also the practical side. Large breasts need to be well fixed, otherwise it will cause trouble while swimming, staying on the beach, swimming in the pool. Therefore, instead of a bodice, you can choose an underwired top that holds the chest well. A bra with large breasts should always be with bones and only with wide straps. They will help keep your posture straight, unload your back. The diagonal line of the chest will be successful, that is, all models with a smell with a large chest will make it even more attractive. Models of bodices with a dense slimming mesh inside are recommended. Thin straps, light fabrics, non-fixed cups, foam inserts should be avoided.
• Swimsuit for a small bust. There are many ways to visually enlarge the chest: dense cups with bones, push up bras, draperies, ruffles, accessories. It is important that the padded bodice fits snugly to the body and fits in size. Mechanical breast augmentation is not always beautiful. A bra with a horizontal line will increase the chest. The most suitable bandeau model: no straps, with straps as far as possible or coming out of the center of the bodice. If the owner of a small breast does not set herself the goal of visually increasing it, then the most natural option is triangular-shaped cups. A swimsuit for small breasts may well be on a thin ribbon, with thin straps, pitted, fixed cup. There is no need to increase the bust with a slender, petite figure and firm breasts.
• Swimsuit for wide hips. With wide hips, all attention should be focused on the top. To do this, you need to select such models of bras that increase the chest and bring proportionality to the figure. Well suited bright bodices, deep necklines. It is better to choose dark shades for the bottom; dark inserts on the sides will visually narrow the hips. You also need to choose swimming trunks with a cutout of medium height. Belts, draperies, stitching, skirts, any transverse accessories further increase the volume of the hips.

What is important to consider when choosing? It is better to buy one expensive and high-quality one than several cheap swimsuits. A high-quality swimsuit will last more than one season: it is pleasant for the body, does not “bite”, does not stretch, does not fade in the sun. Branded swimwear should be bought at the beginning of spring, new collections appear at this time. The closer it gets to summer, the fewer options there are to choose from.

Color selection

How to choose the color of a swimsuit? There are many things to consider: body type, color type, personal taste, fashion trends. Well, if all points are consistent with each other. I like the coloring, it perfectly emphasizes the dignity of the figure, it matches the color of the eyes, skin, hair, and you can’t reproach the owner of such a swimsuit for being old-fashioned. How to find this optimal variant?

By body type

The color and type of drawing help to balance the imbalances of the figure.

• For a full figure. Dark deep colors are suitable, which will visually reduce the silhouette. Floral print and vertical stripes are also recommended. A wide and bright vertical stripe in the middle will attract attention and thereby hide a wide waist. Dark contrast panels on the sides show off the waist well. Swimsuits for obese women with a large bust should not be light colors, with a bright, large pattern, horizontal stripes, with any transverse ornament, from shiny fabrics.
• For a pear shape. You need to choose contrasting colors - light top, dark bottom. The bodice can be colored, motley, polka-dotted, striped, and the bottoms can be plain. The "cheerful" top will draw attention to itself. On a one-piece swimsuit, a large pattern is acceptable, but there should be an insert that delimits the top and bottom, emphasizing a thin waist.
• For a rectangle shape. Suitable bright, saturated, contrasting colors. It is best to avoid floral ornaments. For fused models, a diagonal pattern is ideal, which will narrow the waist.
• With other features of the figure. All colors are suitable for the hourglass. For large breasts - the combined color of the bra: the lower part is light, and the upper part is dark. Small breasts will be enlarged by transverse patterns, light colors, bright colors of geometric shapes, small floral patterns. With narrow hips and shoulders, you can safely buy bright swimwear and models of light colors.

By color type

The most important principle: the color of the swimsuit is not matched to match the hair or skin.

• Blondes. Blond women with fair skin will suit bright models. Also, the presence of oriental, Indian motifs in colors would be ideal. White-skinned swimsuits are definitely not suitable for white, with sandy, light tones. The color of blondes is lilac, burgundy, turquoise, pink, ripe cherries. It is better to avoid shades of orange and white.
• Brunettes. Brunettes with white skin should avoid white, monochromatic swimsuits in rich purple and blue. Pale skin and dark hair pair well with delicate caramel and peach colors that will give the skin warm undertones. With swarthy skin and dark hair, you can wear bright swimsuits with the richest palette of crimson, emerald, blue, burgundy, chocolate and other colors. Light yellow and light green tones are less suitable.
• Brown-haired women. In this case, the range of choice is much wider. After all, brown-haired women are different: with light blond and dark brown hair, fair-skinned and dark-skinned, with gray, green, blue, brown eyes. A brown-haired woman with fair skin should avoid too light shades and catchy colors. A brown-haired woman with dark skin will suit soft and gentle warm tones of swimsuits that emphasize the figure. The perfect color is milk chocolate. Many brown-haired women are suitable for models of brown, green, lilac shades. Solid black, white, red, blue, green colors are not recommended. It is better to choose models with a pattern.
• Redheads. A rich green color will add warmth to an already “hot” image. It is better to choose fresh shades of greens. Brown, beige, caramel, terracotta, rich yellow are also well suited. Most redheads have white skin, so it’s better not to buy a white, sandy, delicate peach-colored swimsuit, against their background, the skin will be even paler. The red color of a swimsuit with red hair is something explosive and, indeed, should match the temperament.

About winning and non-winning colors

• White . Refers to the most successful color, which sets off tanned skin well. But it makes white skin painful, with a bluish tint. Also, white is considered the most provocative: it’s not even about transparency, but about those shortcomings of the figure that white easily emphasizes. Therefore, a girl or woman with a perfect figure can afford a white swimsuit. Often white is not chosen from a purely practical point of view - too easily soiled for swimming. But for sunbathing on a sun lounger - quite suitable.
• Blue and cyan. Colors that are most common among solid color swimwear. Like white, figure flaws can stick out. But with a full figure, a one-piece blue swimsuit is almost ideal.
• Black . The one-piece black model is a swimsuit that slims. The nobility of this color leaves no doubt. But keep in mind that the color quickly fades in the sun. It also has its own capriciousness: not all models in the black version look good. In most cases, it is still suitable for slender women. A separate black model does not at all reduce curvaceous forms, on the contrary, it emphasizes problem areas. In this case, it is better to purchase models with colored inserts on black swimming trunks and bodice.
• Red . One of the boldest colors. You need to be prepared for excessive attention (not only male!). Red is a signal color, it catches the eye on a subconscious level. A woman in a red swimsuit may not always have perfect shapes. But she definitely should have confidence in herself and in her own attractiveness.
• Green . Dark, saturated colors of green are chosen less often, and stylists are careful with this color. Of all the shades of green for swimwear, juicy or delicate shades are most suitable.
• multi-colored models. These are swimsuits that hide figure flaws. Also, stylists recommend paying attention to accessories: rhinestones, belts, applications, embroidery, decorative trim. These elements not only create a certain style, but also shift the emphasis, “add” somewhere, and “subtract” somewhere.

Which swimsuit to choose? First of all, the choice depends on the type of figure. It is important to take into account the quality, elasticity, fabric density, colors, size matching. A well-chosen swimsuit, like any accessory, emphasizes good taste, refined style, femininity, and character traits.

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.

What to consider when choosing

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.

Where to begin

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.

Determine the size according to the type of figure

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.

How to measure

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.

Choosing a separate model

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.

So, if the difference between the indicators is 12-14 centimeters, then the size of your bra is A, if 13-15 centimeters, then B. If you are applying for size C, then the difference between the two girths should be from 15 to 17 centimeters. Owners of D size have a difference of 18-20 centimeters, and girls with size E - 21-23 cm.

European size

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.
