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 those with ideal shapes, but they also need to choose a swimsuit according to the size, which needs to 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. A 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 size”, when 70 V successfully replaces 75 A. Russian clothing manufacturers compile the size table 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 sizes with Russian ones, 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 the size of a German brand swimsuit, she should focus on 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. Plus size swimsuits from Chinese manufacturers are rare. 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 off your outerwear, leaving only your underwear, and 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. A strapless model is suitable. 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 wide 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.

The approach of the holiday season for a woman is associated with the search for the perfect swimsuit. To make this piece of beachwear emphasize the attractiveness of the female body, it is not enough to buy a fashionable model. You also need to correctly calculate your size and apply the resulting figure in practice. It's not as simple as it seems at first glance. If you buy a swimsuit on imported clothing sites, a problem may arise, because American and European manufacturers use a different sizing chart.

A curvy girl becomes slimmer and taller if she manages to choose the right beach ensemble. The waist is reduced in volume not only through grueling exercises in the fitness room, but figure flaws fade into the background after a successful purchase of a swimsuit.

To look like a goddess on the coast, even with imperfect shapes, it is important to accurately determine your size. Wearing a swimsuit should not be accompanied by discomfort; let it act as a second skin that does not hinder movement. While sunbathing or swimming in the sea, you won't think about how attractive you look. The feeling of insecurity will go away if you are lucky enough to buy the perfect piece of clothing.

First, find out your size. To do this, arm yourself with a tailor's measuring tape and take the necessary measurements: waist size, height and hip size. Standing close to the wall, measure the distance from your heels to the top of your head. One more clarification - measure your figure at the waist and hips in underwear or very thin clothes.

Keep in mind that a wet product will stretch and become larger. Therefore, do not buy a swimsuit of the wrong size, otherwise it will flop around your body in the water. When trying on a product, make sure it is not too big for you.

Women's swimsuit size charts

If your waist is 70 cm and your hips are 95 cm, then you should buy a size 44 swimsuit. We should not forget about height; Russian manufacturers indicate it on the tag, for example, 158-164 cm.

When making purchases in European online stores, make simple calculations that will allow you to correctly determine the size. Let's take the original 44th and subtract 6 units. The resulting number (38) will be your guide when purchasing. All calculations refer to a closed swimsuit. In addition, know that European models are made for girls of short stature - from 158 to 165 cm. Be on the safe side - if your height is higher than the specified parameters, order the product a size larger.

68	114-117	142-145	62	30

In England the numbering system is given in inches. Another formula is relevant here: the number 38 is subtracted from the domestic value. As a result, we get a six, which you should focus on when choosing.

According to international markings, clothing is designated by letters (S, M, L). It follows from it that the 44th corresponds to S/M.

How to determine the size of a two-piece swimsuit (bikini)?

To buy such a model, measure your waist and hips for panties, as well as your bust and underbust measurements for your bodice. Compare the readings with the table.

Calculations for the top of a swimsuit (bikini)

Measure your chest by placing the measuring tape through the prominent points of your breasts, shoulder blades and armpits. The second number shows the volume under the bust.

For a chest volume of 76 cm and 60 cm underneath, look for the letter C on the bodice tag with a cup. This can be seen from the table. You can also calculate your bra size using a simple formula: 76 (in our case, breast volume) minus 60 (the distance under it). A difference of 16 cm means that the fullness of the cup is C. If the calculation results in 12-14 cm, then choose cup A, 13-15 cm - B, and 18-20 - D.

Two-piece swimsuit size chart

To prevent the seams on the product from pressing and cutting into the body, prefer a larger swimsuit if it suddenly turns out that the result of your calculations is on the border between S and M.

Which style and material will fit best on your figure?

A popular item of women's wardrobe is made from materials that are resistant to exposure to bright sun and sea water. To the touch they resemble natural fabric, but unlike it, they are durable during use.

Budget models are made of polyester, which takes a long time to dry and does not withstand the influence of salt water. Such swimsuits wear out in one or two seasons and require updating.

Pay attention to the composition of the fabric; it must contain at least 20% lycra. Thanks to it, the swimsuit has elasticity, taking any shape.

Before you go to the store for something new, take a critical look at yourself in the mirror. No, not to engage in self-flagellation, but to determine your body type. If you have a large bust, buy a dark-colored bodice with wide straps. The pareo is tied at the hips to balance the proportions.

Small breasts need to be framed by a bodice with underwire cups. The model can be strapless, but it must be a lighter shade than the panties.

A prominent top part of the ensemble will help draw attention away from wide hips. Drapery, frills, ruffles are details that can visually make the figure proportional. The swimming trunks should not be conspicuous; let them be dark and plain.

Before you pay money for a set, be sure to try it on. Make sure it doesn't pinch you, the straps don't fall off, and the panties don't cut into your body. Approach the purchase of the sexiest wardrobe item with all responsibility.

A swimsuit is a specific type of clothing designed for swimming or relaxing near the water. The very first of them appeared in the 20s of the last century, they were called swimsuits and, in fact, that’s what they were: like other clothes, their main purpose was to hide the naked body from prying eyes.

Since then, something has changed, and swimsuits have acquired a familiar look. Tanning is in fashion, and a swimsuit helps to achieve it: it is open to the limit so that the details do not leave noticeable marks on the skin. Even the classics began to look different. Now she is more bold and feminine.

Types of swimsuits

With all the variety of models, women's swimsuit sizes are still universal. Regardless of whether it is separate or classic one-piece (solid, continuous). In summer, there is no limit to the variety of colors, the main thing is to look bright. The cut of the products also varies widely. Mono-, bi- and trikinis are also in the lead, respectively, consisting of one, two and three items for swimming.

They were joined by “tankinis”, the top of which is a top or T-shirt. Bandeau swimsuits with a strapless bodice are trendy. In this model, the chest is covered with a “bandinini” - a wide ribbon fastened or tied at the back. But the “halter” has wide straps, and they support the chest well, tying at the neck. Perhaps this is the most trendy and sought-after model today.

Among them, the “mailo” model with sewn straps, a U- or V-neck in the neckline and cups for the bust looks attractive. The “tanko” is similar to it, only it has wide, one-piece straps.

The neckline goes all the way to the collarbone in high-neck swimsuits, which expose the body sufficiently. By analogy with it, a “plunge” model was made, which has deep holes in the front and on the back. Not so long ago, mini-dresses for swimming were introduced - “suit dresses”, which are considered sporty.

How to choose the ideal model?

Even an impeccable model will not fit well if you choose the wrong swimsuit size, especially since it ranges from 40 to 56, and does not end there, but has additional indices for the largest volumes: XX, XXL, XXXL.

Practice shows that not all women wear suitable swimsuits. Some simply don’t know how to choose it, while others, out of habit, buy the one they once found and wore for a long time, not noticing that their proportions have long changed.

Why is it important to choose your swimsuit size? Everything is simple here: firstly, it will be comfortable to sunbathe and swim in it, secondly, those details that should emphasize female beauty will not lose their purpose, thirdly, if there is something wrong with the length or volume of the model, Many people will notice this.

How to measure your figure parameters?

Swimsuit? The most accessible way is to use a centimeter to measure the circumference of the chest and under the chest at the most protruding points to select the upper part, as well as the hips to select swimming trunks.

If you plan to buy a one-piece swimsuit, you will also need to know your height. In addition to the fact that measurements must be accurate, it is also necessary to take into account differences in the parameters of different countries.

A table of swimsuit sizes will also help a lot.

Bust, cm	Hip girth, cm	Waist circumference, cm	Russia	China	CountriesEuropes	Italy, France	Poland, Germany

National characteristics

The size of a Russian-made swimsuit is designed for heights from 170 to 176 cm and from 158 to 164 cm, up to 56. Chinese factories use the international letter size designation system (ascending): S, M, L, XL with an increase in the number of X as an indicator of non-standard volumes. Chinese women have smaller measurements, so Chinese-made swimsuits are too small for Russian women.

The size standards for swimsuits made in the USA are completely different from Russian, Chinese and European ones. The numbers are in inches, which corresponds to 2.54 cm.

European countries also sew swimsuits according to their own standards. swimsuit is equal to the European plus 6 units to its indicator. Among European standards, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, and the UK have their own series - the products of these countries differ from those generally accepted in Europe.

Italy labels products with numbers from 1 to 6. The Russian size will correspond to its digital indicator minus 2.

Germany and Poland do not use “from” and “to” indicators, their value is an average, so only one number is indicated in the size. A one-piece swimsuit produced in these countries must be taken larger, because it is designed for an average height of no higher than 165 cm.

Useful little things

Two-piece swimsuits come with a bodice and swimming trunks, so you will have to choose the size for two things at once. The swimsuit label mainly contains a number corresponding to the circumference under the bust, and the letter A, B, C, D, E, F, G - this is the fullness of the cup, defined as the difference in the girth under the bust and the chest.

The cups of the top of the swimsuit are as follows (diameter in centimeters): A - 12-13; B - 14-15; C - 16-17; D - 18-19; E - 20-21; F - 22-23; G - 24-25. For example, if the circumference under the chest is 80 cm, and the chest is 98 cm, then the size is calculated as follows: 98-80 = 18 cm, which corresponds to a D-cup. That is, you need to choose a swimsuit with an 80 D bodice.

As a rule, the sizes of the upper part of the swimsuit and swimming trunks are proportional, that is, they are selected accordingly by the manufacturer, based on the standard build. For example, the hip circumference is 107 cm, according to the correspondence table, these are Russian swimming trunks 48-50, which is equal to the European 42, suitable for a top 80 D with a circumference under the bust of 98 cm.

As a convenient alternative, a replacement size, the so-called parallel, is always provided. For example, 85A can be replaced with 80V. This does not apply to swimsuits with ties without fasteners.

Let's say you managed to accurately measure your parameters, and it turned out that they fit two sizes at once. In this case, it is better to choose a swimsuit that is larger in order to avoid the shrinking effect and not to attract attention on the beach with a swimsuit that is clearly too small.

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 to correctly select a bra or top of a one-piece swimsuit and determine the cup size, and the second ones will be required to select 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.

How to determine the size of a one-piece (one-piece) swimsuit, table

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.

Fashionable swimwear in 2016

I hope you have learned to determine your bra cup size and know 100% how to choose a swimsuit for a plus size woman! Have a bright summer 2016, beautiful photos and exciting novels!

It did not restrict movement and fit well, it should be a good size. There are a number of subtleties in how to determine the size of a swimsuit. Let's look at the main points.

1. Correctly taken measurements are half the success. For swimsuits, 4 parameters are important: chest girth, underbust girth, waist girth and hip girth. Measurements are taken with a tape. For greater accuracy, it is advisable not to do this yourself, but to ask someone to help you.

Stand with your shoulders back and your feet together. To measure chest circumference, you need to spread your arms slightly to the sides. Apply the tape to the body, focusing on the protrusions of the shoulder blades and the highest points of the chest. Do not over-tighten the tape; it should fit snugly, but not dig in.

The circumference under the chest is measured with the arms spread horizontally to the sides.

The waist is measured at the narrowest part, without pulling in the stomach.

When measuring the hips, the tape passes along the lower edge of the abdomen, the protrusions of the pelvic bones and the middle of the buttocks.

2. Have you taken all the measurements and now you know exactly your parameters? It's time to learn how to determine your swimsuit cup size. To do this, you need to subtract the circumference under the bust from the chest circumference and use the table:

Cup size
Bust girth - underbust girth =

3. How to determine your size in the case of a certain swimsuit you like? To do this, you need to insert the measurements taken into the manufacturer’s size chart. It should be remembered that sizes vary from company to company. That is why our online store has swimsuits from various brands: if the size chart of one company does not suit you, you can always find an alternative.

4. Evaluate the result: the swimsuit should not pull too much, straps and elastic bands should not dig into the skin. Try moving around to see if your swimsuit will move or, conversely, press on you when swimming.

Swimsuit sizes for special figures

Swimsuit sizes for the pool

Sports swimsuits, as a rule, do not have a cup size. But knowing how to correctly determine your size, you can easily choose the right option. Choosing , It is enough to know the measurements of the chest, waist and hips. But there is a subtlety here: the sizes will also differ in size. Each subsequent size in girth will imply higher growth. At
It is important that the sports swimsuit fits perfectly, the straps do not put pressure on the shoulders, and there should be no gathers or voids anywhere. Therefore, when choosing a swimsuit, study the size charts of several brands: their sizes may differ significantly from each other.

If you are still unable to choose a swimsuit that suits your height, pay attention to the presence of adjustable straps on the swimsuit. For example, swimsuits have adjustable straps and avoid problems with unsuitable sizes.
