BIKINI YES · THE FIT ATELIER
How to Measure & Find Your Fit
Your perfect fit starts with knowing your measurements. Whether you're shopping for your next favourite bikini, a beautiful one-piece or an effortless resort look, our simple guide will help you measure confidently and understand the sizing information provided with each style.
Three measurements. A little confidence. A fit that feels like you.
01 / THE FOUNDATIONS
How to measure your body
A soft measuring tape and a few quiet minutes are all you need. Keep the tape level and let your body relax.
Measure Your Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the measuring tape level across your back. The tape should rest comfortably against your body without being pulled too tightly.
Measure Your Waist
Find your natural waist, usually the narrowest part of your torso. Wrap the tape around your waist, keeping it level while standing naturally and breathing normally.
Measure Your Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Keep the tape parallel to the floor without squeezing your body.
Illustrations show where to place your tape. They are not a size or body-shape standard.
A FEW SIMPLE MEASURING TIPS
Small details. Better measurements.
- Use a soft, flexible measuring tape.
- Measure over fitted undergarments or lightweight clothing.
- Keep the measuring tape level.
- Make the tape comfortably snug, not tight.
- Stand naturally and avoid holding your breath.
- Record measurements in inches or centimetres.
- Measure twice for greater accuracy.
02 / BEYOND THE LABEL
Understanding clothing sizes
Common North American size labels include XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, with additional sizes available on selected products.
Canada and the USA commonly use similar letter-size conventions, but measurements are not universally standardized. Different garments can fit differently even when their labels show the same size.
Size labels are a starting point. The measurements for each style matter most.
03 / READ THE DETAILS
How to read our product size charts
Before comparing numbers, check what the chart is measuring and which unit it uses.
Body measurements
Measurements taken around your actual body, such as your bust, waist and hips. Compare these with your own measurements when the chart is labelled as body measurements.
Your body · measured all the way around
Garment measurements
Measurements taken from the clothing or swimsuit itself, sometimes with the garment laid flat. Follow the measurement labels and instructions shown for that particular style.
The clothing · measured as described in its chart
A flat garment width is not the same as a full body circumference. Fabric stretch, lining and the intended fit can also affect how a garment feels. Do not compare a flat width directly with a body measurement.
04 / MAKE IT PERSONAL
Finding your best fit
Bikinis
Consider adjustable ties, straps, coverage and fabric stretch. Review the measurements for both the top and bottoms where provided.
One-piece swimsuits
Consider your bust, waist and hips, plus torso length where relevant. Check any additional measuring instructions provided for the style.
Dresses & resort wear
Consider the garment cut, fabric and stretch alongside the measurements provided. A fitted dress and a relaxed cover-up can fit very differently.
Between sizes?
Review the specific product’s size chart, stretch and fit details before deciding. Sizing up or down is not always the right choice.
THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL
Every Style Has Its Own Fit
