How to Measure Yourself

How to know your size 26 swimsuits will be the best fit? To make it easy for you we have written a blog on how to measure yourself with a few tips and tricks thrown in to make it as simple as possible for you. The below points are the measurements you need to ensure a perfect fitting size 26 swimwear style.

Bust
: To measure your bust please wear a comfortable natural shape bra that is not padded, horizontally run the tape measure along the top of your bra at the back which should align with the fullest part of your bust. This measurement is essential for ladies bikinis size 26 to get the perfect fit.

Underbust: 
To measure your under bust please wear a comfortable natural shape bra that is not padded, horizontally run the tape measure along the bottom of your bra at the back which should align with your under bust.

Waist
: To measure your waist, you need to measure your waist at its smallest point. To find your natural waistline, bend to one side to find the natural indentation in your side. This is your natural waist. Horizontally run the tape measure around your natural waistline, please ensure tape measure is running parallel to the ground to get an accurate curvy girls waist measurement.

Upper Hip
: To measure your upper hip, you need to measure your tummy at its fullest point. Please do this measurement against bare skin and not over clothes. Measure comfortably and do not suck in or pull the tape measure really tight. Horizontally run the tape measure around the fullest part of your abdomen, please ensure tape measure is running parallel to the ground to get an accurate measurement.

Lower Hip
: To measure your lower hip, you need to measure your hips at its widest point. Please do this measurement against bare skin and not over clothes. Measure horizontally around the fullest part of your lower hip with the tape measure parallel to the floor. An uneven hip measure will skew your measurements.

Body Length
: To measure your torso or full body length measurement, you need to measure around your torso. Please do this measurement in just your underwear. Measure from the center of your shoulder then run the tape measure diagonally across your body between your legs back up to the center of your shoulder. You could possibly need 2 tape measures. 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 size 26 as the bikini top stops under your bust.
 

Understanding the plus

You will notice all our Artesands size 26 swimwear labels include a little + symbol after each size. Here is how to understand what it means for you curve fit and plus size swimsuit.

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 symbolises ‘plus a little bit more’. As we design all of our curve fit and plus size swimwear on an Australian size 18 model this means we have allocated for more fabric and fitting to be allocated across the body, we know as well as anyone that when you go up a size it’s in all different areas of the body. This allows for more fabric around the mid-section, back and bottom allowing for a soft fit on your body. This is to avoid the awful digging in on the edge of the swimsuit, that is not comfortable for anyone!
