If you want to get it right when purchasing swimwear online, you've come to the right place. Follow these simple steps to collect all of your measurements. Then simply follow any online size guide.

Understanding that everyone is unique is critical in finding the best fit for your swimsuit. We are not all made with the same cookie cutter; each one is unaique. That is why it is critical to measure yourself and then follow the size guide for each brand of swimsuit you intend to purchase. This eliminates the possibility that it will not fit and that you will have to return it.

Measuring your body is simple. Furthermore, you only have to measure yourself once in a while. Simply jot down the measurements and use them as a reference when shopping online. Check back from time to time to see if anything has changed. All body measurements can fluctuate depending on circumstances; this is completely normal.

If you feel comfortable, ask someone you trust to assist you in getting the most accurate numbers. If you decide to do it yourself, breathe deeply and relax. All you need is about 5 minutes and you're ready.

Here are the items you'll need:

A full-length mirror.

Two fabric tape measures (or a long piece of string and a standard tape measure)

A calculator

A pen or pencil

Paper

What should you wear as you take your measurements? Ideally, you should wear a well-fitting, supportive bra with little to no padding and comfortable underwear. If you wear clothing while measuring, your results may be incorrect.

There are six body measurements needed to find your perfect-fitting curvy swimsuit:

1. Bust

2. Underbust

3. Waist

4. Upper Hips

5. Lower Hip

6. torso or body length

Take your measurements twice to ensure accuracy.

1. Measuring Your Bust

You must measure the widest part of your bust for this measurement.Remember to wear a supportive bra that has little or no padding and fits well. No booster, push-up, or minimizer bras. A bra without padding, also known as an everyday bra. Here is our Ladies Strap Cross Plus Size Tankini Swimsuit.

Stand sideways and examine yourself in the mirror. Your bra back should be parallel to the front of your bra and the ground. Now, run the tape measure horizontally across the fullest part of your bust, making sure it remains parallel to the floor.

2. Measuring Your Underbust

This measurement must be taken under your bust. As previously stated, please wear a supportive, well-fitting bra. Stand sideways and examine yourself in the mirror. Your bra back should be parallel to the front of your bra and the ground. Now, run the tape measure horizontally just under the bottom of your bra in the back, making sure it remains parallel to the floor.

You want to make sure the tape measure is under your breasts and does not include any of them. Here is where the mirror comes in useful.

3. Measure your waist

This measurement requires you to measure your waist at its narrowest point.

Measure on bare skin. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and lean to one side, looking for the natural indentation in your torso. This represents your natural waistline. If you can't find your natural waistline, measure the lowest point of the rib cage, which is halfway around your torso.

Run the tape measure around your natural waistline, parallel to the ground. Once found, secure a ribbon or piece of string around your natural waist for the next two measurements.

Write down the number you get on your paper.

4. Measuring Your Upper Hip

For this measurement, your stomach must be at its fullest.

Look in the mirror and place the measuring tape vertically along the side of your body. The tape measure should then be placed at the lowest point of the string or ribbon. Measure about 10 centimeters down from your waistline or the widest point of your stomach.

Make a mental note of this point, then measure horizontally around the fullest part of the abdomen, parallel to the floor. This is your upper hip.

Write down the number you get on your paper.

5. Measure your lower hip

Look in the mirror and hold the tape measure vertically to the side of your body. The tape measure should then be placed at the lowest point of the string or ribbon. Measure down about 18-25 cm from the waistline tape, or to the widest point of your bottom or hip.

Make a mental note of this point, then measure horizontally around the fullest part of your bottom or hips, parallel to the ground. This is your lower hip. If this is uneven, your measurements will be skewed; therefore, please measure carefully.

Write down the number you get on your paper.

6. Measure your torso

You will need to measure your body length for this purpose.

A friend can help you measure your torso or body length. You'll probably need both tape measures for this step. Place the tape measure in the center of the top of your shoulder, where your bra strap rests. Start by draping the tape measure over your shoulder and bringing it to the front if you're doing it alone.

Run the tape measure between your legs and up to your shoulder. It is quite common to require two tape measures to complete this successfully. When you bring the tape measure to the front, you can easily see when it runs out and where to start a new tape measure.

Write down the number you get on your paper.

How do I determine my bust cup size?

Finding your cup size is extremely simple. All you need are the measurements you took above. Grab a calculator and subtract your underbust measurement from your bust measurement. This will give you the cup size measurement.

In conclusion, once you have these measurements, you will notice that the bathing suits you purchase fit better. This exercise ensures that you receive the appropriate size for your body.

Each designer assigns different sizes to different measurements, so when shopping online, refer to each designer's size guide. Also, check your measurements every three to six months, as your body may change.
