Clothing and Swimwear Sizing
How To Measure
Measure your waist and hips and compare to the size chart below. If you are between two sizes, we suggest selecting the larger size. XS to XLXS-XL sizes correspond to the numerical sizing on this chart, unless specified in the description of the garment. To get the most accurate measurements, have someone else measure you. Be sure to hold the measuring tape straight and snug, not tight, to your body.
BUST
Measure over the fullest part of your bust, with the tape measure parallel to the floor. This measurement will help you determine your swimwear or clothing size for tops and dresses.
UNDERBUST
Measure directly under your bust, with the tape measure parallel to the floor. This measurement will assist you in determining your bra band size and swim top size.
WAIST
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
HIPS
Measure around the fullest part of your hip, before the thigh begins to narrow. This measurement will help you determine your size for skirts, pants, and form-fitting dresses.
Bikini Top Sizing Chart
INTRODUCING BIKINI BRA SIZING
In order to make your customer experience better, Basic Charm has transitioned to a new size chart where all we need from you is your bra size! Venus will then discover your "sister sizing" to find that perfect fit!
Thanks to our exclusive adjustable sliding strap and strings along with our sash ties, there is more flexibility than your standard single bra hook or loop. We now offer "sister sizing" - where the cup volume stays the same, but the band and cup letter can change.
Ready for a day at the beach in your new bikini? For swimwear tops that have a cup size, simply order your usual bra size (band + cup), our system will do the rest. Finally, you will receive a bikini top that has a letter designation and possibly a bra band/cup size.
Not fitting quite like you hoped? Does this all sound too confusing? Don't worry, we're here to help. Check out the chart below for easy reference.
For minimal coverage, size down.
