women’s measuring guide

Wondering how to get a closet full of great-fitting outfits? Time to bring out that tape measure.

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to take body measurements accurately & easily.

How to measure

  • Bust

    Measure across the fullest part of your bust, keeping tape measure level.

    Run tape measure from the top of your shoulder, between your legs & up again back to where you started.

    Perfect fit

    Tired of peeling off a one piece swimsuit so I decided to give board shorts and swim top a try. These fit perfectly- they won't be inflating with water. I found a solid blue swim top that ended up matching perfectly .

    I wish these shorts were lined. I need them because of a scar on my upper thigh.

    No swim liner

    I didn't realize these were loose without a swim liner. I do not think i want to swim with these. They are more for cover up

    Great shorts, needs a liner

    These shorts are great, really comfortable, true to size (similar to Torrid sizing) and don't make that swishing sound with the fabric when you walk. My only complaint is that, to be swimwear, there should be an option with a built-in liner so you don't have to wear underwear.

    Modest & Comfortable Board Shorts

    Love the length of these shorts and that they can be worn in and out of the pool (not just for swimming). They do get a little heavy in the water but overall very pleased with my purchase.

    Size down a lot!

    I wear a size 8 hanes women's underwear and I ordered a 2xl in the 4 inch board shorts. They hung down past my knees. The width and length were both much larger than expected. The purple color was beautiful, the outside material was great, but I did not like the texture inside. You definitely need swim bottoms or underwear with them. If I exchange for a smaller size instead of just returning them, I'll order 2 or 3 sizes down.

    Great shorts - need deeper pockets.

    I love the material--soft and dries quickly. I would love Deeper Pockets, please. OH! and a loop so I could attach a key....

    I bought a medium because that’s the size I wear in your swimsuit bottoms. They fit a bit big, but are still cute.

    I bought 2 pairs of 4"board shorts. They fit well. They are the correct length. They are complimentary to a plus size body.

    The service was great

    The service was great. I haven't really tested the durability of the shorts yet, as that's what I needed from them. But they are performing well, if not to see how strong they are.

    I needed to exchange for a smaller size since I had lost considerable weight in the past 6 months. The mediums should be coming any day now.
