How to Measure Yourself

Will curvy size 24 swimwear will be the best fit for you? This revolves around your body measurements! We know this process can be difficult and daunting, so take a deep breath and let us guide you through this process! We have written a blog about how to measure yourself that has a few tips and tricks to make this process as easy as possible. The below points are the measurements you need to ensure a perfect fitting size 24 swimsuit.

Bust

When taking your bust measurement, you need to wear a bra that has a natural shape and is comfortable (this means no padding!). With this on, horizontally run the tape measure along the top of the back of your bra. The tape measure should line up with the fullest part of your bust. This measurement is essential for curvy size 24 women’s swimwear to get the perfect fit.

Underbust

To measure your under bust for your size 24 swimsuit, keep the same comfortable natural shape bra on from the previous measurement. Horizontally run the tape measure along the bottom of your bra at the back. This will align perfectly with your under bust.

Waist

To accurately measure your waist, you need to measure your it at its smallest point. To find this point, bend over to one side and notice the natural indentation in the side of your torso - this is your natural waist. Horizontally reach the tape measure around this point. Ensure the tape measure is parallel to the ground to get an accurate curvy girl’s waist measurement.

Upper Hip

To measure your upper hip, you need to take this measurement from the fullest point of your tummy. Do not take this measurement over your clothes or suck your stomach in. Relax your body and make sure you aren’t pulling the tape measure tight. Horizontally run the tape measure around the fullest part of your tummy. The tape measure must run parallel to the ground to achieve the most accurate measurement.

Lower Hip

When measuring your lower hip, you need to measure your hips at their widest point. Measure horizontally around the broadest part of your lower hip. Please do not take this measurement over your clothes. An uneven hip measurement will skew the rest of your measurements so make sure this one is precise!

Body Length

To measure the full length of your torso, you need to measure your body’s vertical height. Please only wear your underwear when taking this measurement. Start at the centre of your shoulder and line the tape measure down the length of your torso. Pass the tape measure through your legs and pull it back up over your shoulder so that point ends of the tape measure meet at the centre of your shoulder. You may need 2 tape measures for this measurement. Taking this measurement is a bit tricky so we highly recommend following our in-depth instructions on our blog post The Curvy Girl's Guide on how to Measure Yourself Correctly. This measurement isn’t needed for our ladies’ bikinis in a size 24 as the bikini top stops under your bust.

Understanding the plus

You may have noticed that all our Artesands size 24 swimwear labels include a little + symbol after each size. Here is how to understand what it means for your curve fit and plus size swimwear.

If you already own an Artesands curve fit plus size swimsuit you will notice all our sizes on the garment tag have a little + symbol. This plus symbol embodies our ‘plus a little bit more’ ethos. As we design all our curve fit and plus size swimwear on an Australian size 18 model, we have allocated more fabric and fitting across the body. We know as well as anyone that when you go up a size, this occurs in all different areas of the body. This allows for more fabric around the mid-section, back and bottom areas, allowing for the most comfortable fit on your body. This is to avoid the awful digging in on the edge of the swimsuit!
