Bikini Plus Size Chart, US

Let us help you determine your US Bikini Plus Size. Note: Plus Size is sometimes also referred to as Curve Size. Anyways: enjoy your swim or sunbathing!

How to Measure Plus Size Bikini Size

Measure Hips: Measure circumference around your hips and bottom at the fullest part of the hips. You will find your hips approximately 7" to 10" below your waistline (there are som individual differences.)
Measure Waist: Measure around your natural waistline. Not sure where you natural waistline is? Your waistline is located just above your belly button, and it is the narrowest part of your torso.
Measure Bust: Measure over the fullest part of your bust and all the way around your body. Keep measuring tape parallel with floor.

Use your measurements to determine your bikini plus size (bikini bottom and bikini top) with our plus size charts below.

Bikini Top Size, US

Bikini top plus sizes are usually given in two (2) different ways, depending on brand and model:

1. Bra Size is used. Then you pick bikini bottom size and bikini top size separately. See here to determine your US bra size. Size example: Bottom Size: 2X(18), Top Size: 42C

2. Bikini top size is determined with the same size system as the bikini bottom. With this sizing system, both plus size bikini bottom sizes and plus size bikini top sizes are labeled like i.e.: Bikini Bottom: 2X(18), Top Size: 2X(18) (if you can pick bottom size and top size separately) or Bikini Size: 2X(18) (if sized as a set). Use the bikini size chart below to determine your bikini top size (same as bikini bottom plus size chart):

Size	Bust	Waist	Hips
0/1X (14)	40-42	32.5-34	42-44
1X (16)	42-44	34-36	44-46
