Size and fit guide

This page exists because almost no swimwear shop in Brazil publishes real measurements. Size information is not only usability: it is a consumer-information obligation. The structure is ready here and the numbers go in exactly as the shop supplies them.

Table structure. The size bands below illustrate the common Brazilian grade, not the shop own grade, and every measurement is still open.

How to measure

  1. Use a tape measure over skin or a thin garment, without pulling tight.
  2. Bust: around the fullest part, tape level.
  3. Underbust: just below, where the top elastic sits.
  4. Waist: at the narrowest part of the torso.
  5. Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.

Between two sizes

The advice changes by shape: a bandeau depends on the elastic and usually takes the smaller size; a high-waist bottom usually takes the larger. The rule per piece: [CONFIRM with the shop]

How the fabric behaves when wet

Swim fabric gives a little when wet and recovers as it dries; how much depends on the composition. Composition, lining, UV protection and chlorine resistance: [CONFIRM — never invent a UPF/SPF figure or a certification]
