How to measure
Use a soft measuring tape and measure over your undergarments, keeping the tape snug but not tight. It helps to have someone assist you so the tape stays level.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and level across your back.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape comfortably loose.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Between two sizes?
If your measurements fall between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for a more relaxed fit, or the smaller size for a closer, more fitted look. For fitted styles and swimwear, going up a size is often the more comfortable choice.
A note on fit
These measurements are indicative and meant as a general guide. Because fit can vary slightly from one style to another depending on the cut and fabric, we include specific fit notes on individual product pages whenever they are helpful.
