You can calculate your bra size yourself using a simple formula: chest girth – girth under the bust = fullness of the cup. A difference of 12-14 cm corresponds to the letter A, 13-15 cm - B, 15-17 cm - C and 18-20 cm - D.
So, if the chest volume is 87 cm, and the volume under the bust is 69 cm, then 87-69 = 18 or the fullness of the D cup. The full designation in this case will be 70 D.
If the measurement result falls on the border between two swimsuit sizes, then it is better to choose a larger option so that the seams do not cut into the body, emphasizing all the flaws and flaws of the figure.
Subtleties of purchase: choosing material and style
Modern materials from which they sew Women's swimsuits, resemble silk or cotton to the touch, however, unlike these natural fabrics, they do not fade when exposed to sunlight and withstand long-term bathing in salty water. sea water. The most popular materials for the production of these products are tactel, polyamide and microfiber, which retain their shape well and dry instantly. Inexpensive models are most often made of polyester; they take a very long time to dry and last no more than one season. Study the label: the fabric must contain lycra (at least 20%), which ensures the elasticity of the product and its ability to stretch, taking the shape of the owner’s body.
When going to the store, evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of your figure and try to determine its type. If you want to visually reduce too big breasts, buy two-piece swimsuit with a dark underwired bodice with wide straps, and tie the pareo low on the hips. For small breasts optimal options– models with underwire cups, including strapless ones. In this case, the panties should be darker than the top, and the pareo should be tied in a knot on the chest.
If you have wide hips, focus on the top part of the set. It is better that the bodice is bright, multi-colored or with some kind of trim (ruffles, drapery, etc.), and the bottom is plain and mostly dark. Wide shoulders will help hide the straps tied at the neck, and girls with curvy figures should purchase one-piece swimsuits with widely spaced straps and comfortable cups.
In the store, if possible, try on several. different models swimsuits, look at yourself in the mirror, bend over, sit down and make sure that the straps do not fall off, the panties do not slip, the seams do not pinch and you are comfortable and comfortable in it.
The summer season, and with it the beach season, is already approaching. Accordingly, it's time to think about purchasing necessary accessories, clothes, shoes and, of course, a swimsuit. Modern brands offer a huge number of models and a wide range color scheme, among which it will be quite difficult to choose just one. After all, they all stun the imagination with their original appearance, beautiful color scheme, as well as incredible decorative elements with which creative designers decorate them.
When choosing a swimsuit, you should definitely try it on to be sure that it fits you perfectly and does not pinch or fall down anywhere. This is easy to do in the store; just take the desired model in two sizes and try both on in the fitting room. After this, you can easily understand what size you need.
When purchasing from an online store, everything is much more complicated. After all, fitting is not possible for everyone, and I don’t want to bother with returning the product and further exchange if there is an error. In order not to make a mistake with right size selected swimsuit when purchasing online, special tables have been developed to help you correctly determine the size of the swimsuit. But this size chart 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 with the data in the table. But it's not that simple. To begin with, you should understand that the standard marking corresponds to an hourglass figure type and an average height of 168 centimeters. If you are the owner of a lower or tall, That standard size not for you.
The difference is especially noticeable when buying a one-piece swimsuit or monokini model, where the drawstring should be exactly at the waist, and the length of the straps is designed for a standard set.
Where to begin
First, you need to choose the right model that suits your body type. Decide for yourself what exactly you need: a one-piece swimsuit or a two-piece. And then measure your body correctly.
Many girls, when buying a particular model, count on the fact that the fabric is quite elastic, so they think that even if the swimsuit is too small, it will still stretch. So, they are very deeply mistaken. Calculations for elasticity were initially laid down by designers and model designers; therefore, an incorrect or too confident calculation will bring more discomfort than joy during the purchase. Many brands even specifically pay attention to this point.
If suddenly your data ends up 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.
We determine the size according to the type of figure
Before choosing any wardrobe item, you should determine your body type and after that choose the product you need and suits you. The same rule applies to buying a swimsuit. To properly hide flaws and highlight advantages, you need to choose the right models, of which today’s designers offer a huge variety, not to mention original color schemes.
Girls with an hourglass figure will have no problems choosing, since absolutely any model suits them.
Both one-piece and two-piece swimsuits are suitable for a pear figure. 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. At wide hips and narrower shoulders and chests, swimsuits with draping 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 the ideal options for them would be models with a voluminous bottom, or one-piece monokinis with dense cups, since the breasts of this figure are usually voluminous. In any case, when buying a one-piece swimsuit, you should focus on your bust size, and two-piece swimsuits can be made up of two different models.
How to measure
Before buying a swimsuit, you should definitely measure your figure, regardless of whether you remember your data or not. The body is changing and the measurement results may pleasantly surprise you.
You need to measure your figure in a special way; each part has its own nuances that must be taken into account. It is advisable to use the help of a friend or mother, as they will be able to do 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 held horizontally and not pulled too much, but you shouldn’t hold the measuring device loosely either. The same goes for waist circumference. The centimeter is kept strictly horizontal and as level as possible. If the indicator stops in the middle between two numbers, then it should be rounded to a larger length so as not to make a mistake in the size.
You need to measure your chest in two places, first you need to determine the size of the girth of the area under the chest and only then measure your chest with a centimeter at the two maximum protruding points. This is necessary to more accurately determine the fullness of the bra cup. In the second case, the centimeter should be raised on the back slightly above the shoulder blades. Determining your cup size is important, especially if the bodice has underwire or a push-up effect.
After measurements, you just need to compare your data with dimensional grid indicated on the seller's website. With the right actions, you will definitely be able to choose the right size for yourself and look amazing on the beach in a swimsuit that fits you perfectly, which will highlight your advantages.
Once all parts of the body are measured correctly, you can begin to check 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 swimsuit or panties, you will need to know the circumference of the waist and hips 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 your waist circumference is 72-75 cm, and your hip circumference is 98-101 cm, then you should choose size 46, and if it is 76-79 cm and 102-105 cm, then size 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, you should choose size 54, and when measuring 92-95 cm and 118-121 cm - 56.
- Owners of FROM 96-98 cm and ABOUT 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 you will need size 62, and with 107-109 cm and 134-137 cm - 64.
- If FROM 110-113 cm, and ABOUT 138-141 cm, then you should choose 66, and if FROM 114-117 cm, and ABOUT 142-145 cm, then 68 Russian size.
Choosing a separate model
To choose the right bikini for you, you will need waist and hip measurements for selection. the right size panties and two chest girths for a bra. How to choose the bottom part of a swimsuit is described above, but how to buy the right bra will be discussed below.
First, you should measure the circumference of the part under the chest, and then the full circumference of the chest at the protruding points. In order to determine the volume of the cup, you need to subtract the first ones from the indicators of the second girth and, using a special table, calculate the size you need.
So, if the difference between the indicators is 12-14 centimeters, then your bra size is A, if it is 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 size D have a difference of 18-20 centimeters, and girls with size E have a difference of 21-23 cm.
European size
If you are making a purchase from an online store located in Europe, you should carefully study the European size chart. To do this, you should measure your chest, waist and hips and compare the resulting figures with the European size table. But there is another proven method, which is much easier and faster. And it is as follows: 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 number will be the correct and necessary size for you. These calculations include French, German and Italian swimsuits, as well as products manufactured in other Western European countries.

The approach of beach season for many of the fairer sex means buying a new swimsuit. This summer women's accessory should be chosen perfectly, as it fits tightly to the figure, emphasizing its advantages, but sometimes exposing its shortcomings to everyone. If you take the choice of a swimsuit seriously and wisely, some figure flaws can be hidden.
The easiest way to solve this problem is for owners ideal forms, but they also need to choose a swimsuit according to the size, which must be accurately determined. How to find out swimsuit sizes? The table will help you navigate when choosing In Moscow and other regions of Russia.
Size chart for one-piece swimsuit
If a swimsuit is chosen correctly, it makes the wearer slimmer, taller and more attractive. Good model will emphasize the waistline and hide figure flaws. You should not buy a women's swimsuit several sizes smaller in order to look thinner. You should evaluate your proportions realistically; if you are size 48, you don’t need to look for a swimsuit in the size 44 section. A model for thin girls on a plump woman will look comical and vulgar.
The table and your own measurements that need to be taken will help you determine the sizes of swimsuits:
hip circumference in protruding areas;
waist circumference at the narrowest part.
When purchasing, you need to take into account the fact that a wet swimsuit stretches slightly. If the model is too big for you, you risk leaving the water naked.
How to choose the size of a two-piece swimsuit
For a two-piece swimsuit, measurements are taken differently.
- Under the breast.
- On the protruding part of the chest.
- Hip volume.
There is no need to measure height here. Knowing these parameters, you can calculate the volume of the cup; to do this, subtract the first from the number of the second measurement. Most manufacturers denote the fullness of the cup with the letters A, B, C, D, and so on. The number on the model label indicates what size is under the bust.
There is a concept of "parallel sizing" where 70V successfully replaces 75A. Russian manufacturers Clothing size charts are drawn up in numbers. According to international standards, the letters used are:
S is the smallest;
M - average;
L - large;
XL - very large.
XXL, XXXL, XXXXL - ascending.
Foreign labeling of swimsuits in Moscow
To compare european size with Russian, you need to add the number 6 to it. The table represents Italian swimsuit sizes in numbers from 1 and above. Subtracting 2 from the number on the label of the Italian model, we get the Russian size.
Americans determine the sizing chart using other standards. They have all sizes in inches, the unit of which is 2.54 cm.
If a woman does not know how to choose a German swimsuit size trademark, it should be guided by European standards. But when buying a combined model, you need to look for one size larger.
The Chinese sew swimsuits for the standard figure, which does not correspond to the shape of Russian women. Swimwear large sizes from Chinese manufacturers - a rarity. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that a Chinese swimsuit may turn out to be small, which is completely unacceptable for this accessory. It is much easier to determine swimsuit sizes using a table.
Selection criteria by material
Modern synthetic materials that are used to sew swimsuits resemble cotton and silk in tactile sensations. But fabrics with polymer fiber are much more practical than their natural counterparts, since they can withstand a huge number of washes, do not fade in the sun and do not deteriorate from exposure to sea water.
polyamide;
microfiber.
These models dry quickly and retain their shape perfectly.
Polyester swimsuits are inexpensive, but they have many disadvantages:
takes a long time to dry;
burn out;
wear out;
serve no more than one season.
The fabric of a good swimsuit must contain lycra (20% or more). The fiber provides the material with elasticity, elasticity and precise repetition of the lines of the figure.
Large selection of swimsuits in style and inexpensively
Before you go shopping for a swimsuit, determine what size you need. Take it off outerwear Leaving only your underwear, objectively evaluate your body. Celebrate the strengths, but don't overlook the weaknesses. Too large breasts can be visually reduced by purchasing a separate set with dark underwire cups and wide straps. In such a situation, a pareo tied as low as possible on the hips will help.
For a small bust, it is preferable to purchase a swimsuit with light cups and dark swimming trunks. Suitable model without strapless. Here it is better to tie the pareo on the chest.
You can distract attention from wide hips by focusing on the bodice. Bright multi-colored cups with drapery or frills will look better than a plain ensemble. Let the panties be dark, then the lower part of the figure will not stand out.
If a woman has broad shoulders, this small flaw can be hidden by a swimsuit with wide straps tied around the neck. For very curvy girls, it is recommended to buy large size one-piece swimsuits with a comfortable bodice and wide straps.
It is convenient to buy in a store where there is a fitting room, a size chart and the opportunity to see how the swimsuit fits on your figure. After putting on the kit, you need to try to move a little, sit down, bend over. If the panties do not slide down, the straps do not fall off the shoulders, and movements do not cause discomfort, then the size of the swimsuit is chosen correctly and there will be no incidents on the beach.
So, how to determine your swimsuit size? As for, first of all you need to take measurements from the body. Take a measuring tape and start measuring. We will need to find out the girth of the chest under the bust and at the most protruding points, as well as the girth of the hips. The first measurements will be required for the right choice bra or the top of a one-piece swimsuit and determining the cup size, and the second for choosing swimming trunks. To more accurately select a one-piece swimsuit, you may need a couple more measurements: height and waist circumference.
How to measure your height
Do you want to measure the length of your body from your heels to your crown? Stand against a wall without a baseboard. Press your heels, calves, buttocks, shoulders and back of your head against the wall. Straighten up as much as possible. Carefully make a mark on the wall with a pencil. To get more accurate data, have someone mark the highest point on the top of your head on the wall. Take a meter or a measuring tape and measure the section laid out on the wall; the same mark will be useful to you to determine the correct one. Record your result in centimeters.
How to determine waist circumference
Undress, remain only in your underwear. If you are wearing a blouse of light fabric, then you don’t have to take it off. Take a soft measuring tape and measure the narrowest part of your belly button. The waistline can be at or just above the navel. Write down the received data, use – OT for designation.
How to measure your hips
Take off your clothes or stay in light clothing. Stand up straight and wrap a tape measure around your hips. To determine the centimeter value of the circumference of your hips, you need to place the tape at the most protruding points of the buttocks. The most accurate data can be obtained by asking another person to take measurements. Write down the centimeter measurement of your hip circumference OB.
How to measure chest circumference
If you are wondering how to choose a swimsuit to fit your figure and choose cups exactly according to the size of your breasts, you need to take two measurements. Measure your chest circumference at the fullest points. Bra - don't take it off. (It is better if it is without foam inserts.) Designate your first measurement as OG1 (bust circumference 1). The second measurement is OG2, the circumference of your body under the bust.
To get the correct measurements, you need to stand up straight and exhale air from your lungs. Place the measuring tape exactly parallel to the floor. The tape should fit snugly to the body, but not squeeze it. Record the data obtained in centimeters.
Instructions: how to determine the size of a one-piece swimsuit
The overall size of a “one-piece” swimsuit for a plus-size woman is determined by the size chart. You will need to know 2 measurements of the waist (W) and hips (H). Find a line in the table with digital data that matches your centimeter measurements. Determine your Russian, European, American size.

Correspondence table for Russian, European and American swimsuit sizes
For those who don’t understand, for example, your waist is 89 and your hips are 112. Your Russian swimsuit size will be 50-52. The same table can be used to determine the size of swimming trunks for separate models.
How to determine the cup size of a swimsuit or bra in two-piece models
A properly selected swimsuit cup is the key to successfully presenting your breasts in all their glory. You want nothing to stick out or hang down, so that excess folds are hidden and do not crawl out of the cup? This is why we measured the chest girth and wrote down two measurements OG1 and OG2.
Manufacturers use the letter designation of cup fullness: C, D, B, E, F. Knowing the chest girth of OG1 and OG2, you can calculate the fullness of the cup for your swimsuit. The formula is as follows:
OG1-OG2= fullness of the cup (that is, letters C, D, B or others).
The difference of 12-14 cm between OG1 and OG2 corresponds to the letter A.
A difference of 13-15 cm indicates the letter B.
The difference of 15-17 cm is the fullness of the C cup.
The difference is 18-20 cm - corresponds to a D cup.
The difference is 21-23 cm - equal to the fullness of the E cup.
The difference of 24-26 cm is an F cup of fullness.
The difference is 26-28 cm - corresponds to the size of a G cup.
The table for determining the fullness of a swimsuit cup size will help you understand more precisely. The top line shows the body circumference under the chest, and in the green zone there is the value of the chest circumference at the most convex points.
Table on how to determine the swimsuit cup size
Using the table for determining bra cup sizes for “one-piece” swimsuits, you can determine the bra size of separate models. On the label you will see a figure for the body circumference under the bust, in our case it is OG2 and a letter indicating the fullness of the cup.
For clarity, let's do the math. For example, the girth under the chest is 88 cm (this is OG2), and the girth at the protruding points of the chest is 109 (this is OG1). 109 (OG1) – 88 (OG2) = 21 cm. This corresponds to an E cup, which means we will be looking for a bra with a volume of 88 cm (there is no exact size on sale, there are either 85 or 90, it is best to round up to 90, and remove the extra 2 centimeters using hooks). So, we are looking for a 90 E bra, and for one-piece models we take products of our size with the letter E. In any case, if your measurements fit two sizes, choose a swimsuit that is larger, thereby you will avoid the tightening effect and there will be no extra folds "crawl" out of it.

Many women mistakenly believe that bras and swimsuits are chosen in the same way. This is not true, because here you need to pay attention to the lower part of the swimsuit, taking certain measurements. This needs to be taken as responsibly as possible, because a properly selected swimsuit allows you to emphasize perfect figure, and, if necessary, hide its shortcomings.
As a rule, in a regular store, where it is possible to try on many different products, this question is not relevant. The same cannot be said about online stores, where “trying on” takes place at a distance. It must be said that all responsibility for choosing the wrong size falls squarely on you. Therefore, you yourself need to determine which swimsuit size is best. To simplify the selection of this wardrobe item, a table of swimsuit sizes has been developed. Taking into account the proportions of your body, it allows you to choose the correct size of this product.

Features of choosing swimwear
Typically, a woman's swimsuit consists of two parts. When choosing such a product, you need to take into account some features. When choosing a bikini model, you do not need to take into account any nuances, since they should be the same size as everyday underwear. The strings present on the bikini allow you to adjust the tightness of the product to the body. There shouldn't be any problems here at all.
Other swimwear will have to be selected. For example, a popular model of swimsuits is the presence of a bodice with solid cups. Here, as when choosing an everyday bra, you will need to measure your chest circumference and underbust circumference. Then you need to subtract the circumference under the bust from the chest circumference.
The resulting value is the size of the swimsuit cup, which is indicated by the letters:
12 – 13 cm – A;
14 – 15 cm – B;
16 – 17 cm – C;
18 – 19 cm – D;
20 – 21 cm – E;
22 – 23 cm – F;
24 – 25 cm – G.
As a rule, swimsuit sizes are indicated by a letter and a number. So, above we found out that the letter determines the size of the cup, and the number indicates the circumference of the body under the breast. Now with this knowledge, you can choose a two-piece swimsuit without any problems.
Choosing the size of a one-piece swimsuit
When choosing such a product, it is also necessary to take all of the above measurements. In addition to this, you will need to take growth into account. It must be said that on this site you can find many swimsuits that were produced for women of average height. To make choosing a one-piece swimsuit easier, you can use a special table. Russian manufacturers offer swimsuits designed for girls whose height ranges from 158 to 164 cm. There are also models designed for heights of 170-176 cm.
As is the case with other things, swimsuits from foreign manufacturers may have different sizes due to the lack of a unified labeling system. Many European manufacturers use numbers to indicate swim sizes. Although they do not correspond to the sizes of products made in Russia. To correctly determine the size, it is enough to subtract 6 from the Russian size. The result is the size that European manufacturers use.
As for German manufacturers, the sizes here are the same as in European ones. Although experts recommend choosing a size larger. This is explained by the fact that according to average German parameters, the girl’s height is only 160-164 cm.
Italian swimsuits are marked with numbers starting from 1. This designation corresponds to Russian size 40-42. The number 2 means 42-44. If you choose a swimsuit that is made in the USA, please note that its size is indicated in inches. One inch equals 2.54 cm. Simple calculations will allow you to quickly determine the desired size.
On this trading platform greatest number swimsuits provided by China. When choosing such products, you must contact the seller. You can also carefully read the size chart that comes with a specific product. This need arises due to the fact that Asian women differ significantly in parameters from Russian women.
Shoulders. Women who consider their shoulders to be quite wide are advised to choose a swimsuit that does not have wide straps. There is also no need to use any jewelry around the shoulders. All this visually increases the shoulders even more. It is also worth paying attention to the neckline; it is desirable that it be deep enough. In the opposite way, you can increase your shoulders if the need arises. It is recommended to choose a swimsuit whose top is slightly lighter than the bottom.
Breast. If you have too large breasts, you should pay attention when choosing a swimsuit Special attention on cups with seeds. This is because the breasts will have support. Wide straps can also be used for the same purposes. In this case, the top of the swimsuit should be a couple of shades darker. If you have small breasts, you can pay attention to cups with special inserts. This will visually enlarge the breasts and make the girl more attractive.
Hips. The owner of wide hips is recommended to concentrate the attention of others on the top of the swimsuit. Therefore, try to choose a suit whose bottom is plain. The top in this case should be quite bright and decorated. In addition, it is not recommended to use any decorative elements around the waist, so that others do not focus attention on your hips. If a woman needs to focus the attention of others on her hips, she needs to do the opposite. Ruffles, bows and bright patterns will help you with this.
Legs. If you have too long legs, there are no special rules when choosing a swimsuit. They look beautiful anyway. The same cannot be said about short legs. Here you need to try to visually lengthen them. To do this, you can use a high-waist bottom of the swimsuit. You can also choose panties that have high cutouts on the sides. Don't forget that cutouts are only appropriate for thin hips. Ideal choice will become a swimsuit with a vertical stripe on it.
Completeness. For women who tend to be overweight, it is better to choose muted colors of a swimsuit. It is desirable that the product be made of matte material. Medium cutouts on the sides and a bodice with underwire cups are suitable. Vertical lines will visually reduce the fullness of the swimsuit owner.
