HOW TO MEASURE YOUR SWIMSUIT SIZE

I know I’m not alone when I say I love to shop online .

But I’m surprised how many devoted online shoppers say they’ll never buy Swimwear online, because they think they have to try it on first.

They have a good point: swimwear is hard to shop for. It’s tough to find a suit that fits your unique body.

But I’m here to convince you that shopping online has many advantages, if you do it right.

When measuring your body, the measuring tape should be as close to your skin as possible. It’s best not to measure over thick layers of clothing; thin undergarments or none at all will give you the most accurate numbers.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust.

WAIST

Find your natural waistline. Generally, it’s just below your last rib and a couple of inches above your navel.

Find the widest part of your hips. Generally, it’s 8 inches below your waist.

Starting at one shoulder, bring the measuring tape down over your bust and midsection and in between your legs, and then back up.
