As most of you know, choosing the correct size can be difficult. Every manufacturer seems to have a different idea of how these numbers are interpreted. Please use the charts below to determine which size will best fit you. Every effort is made to ensure all our garments fall roughly in to these standards, but please allow your hard won common sense be your guide. If you are close to the top of a size measurement, don't stubbornly hold on to a wish. Sizes are just numbers, and finding a garment that fits you properly is more important than being a certain number.
How to Measure:
To choose your best clothing and swimwear size, we recommend that you take your measurements and compare to the size chart provided. Sizing is not standardized in the industry and each manufacturer may fit slightly different.
To get the most accurate measurements, have someone else measure you. Be sure to hold the measuring tape straight and snug, not tight, to your body.
Bust: Measure over the fullest part of your bust, with the tape measure parallel to the floor. This measurement will assist you in determining your swimwear or clothing size for tops and dresses.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hip, before the thigh begins to narrow. This measurement will help you determine your size for skirts, pants, and form-fitting dresses.
