Going swimming? Make sure that your swimsuit fits well. Determine your US plus size swimsuit size below. Note: Plus Size is sometimes also referred to as Curve Size. Anyways: enjoy your time in the water!
How to Measure Plus Size Swimsuit Size
Measure Hips: Use a flexible measuring tape to measure circumference around your hips and bottom, at the fullest part of your hips. Measure Waist: Measure circumference around your waistline. Not sure where you waistline is? Your waistline is the narrowest part of your torso, located just above your belly button. Still not sure? Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your natural waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in torso on this side. Measure Bust: Measure over the fullest part of your bust and all the way around your body. Keep measuring tape parallel with floor. Measure Torso: Use a soft measuring tape. Place the measuring tape at a point in the middle of your shoulder. Let the tape continue down across the fullest part of your bust (one of the breasts - not through the cleavage). Pass the tape through your legs and take the tape right up your back to the initial starting point (shoulder).
