Fitting Techniques
How to wear your one piece
Purchasing new swimsuits can be challenging, especially if you haven't had the opportunity to try on different styles to find your ideal fit.
Although our size guide is excellent for comparing your measurements with our sizing, it's equally important to understand the intended fit of our swimwear.
Knowing where each part of the design should sit and how you should feel helps to identify the best size for you!
Our one piece designs are meant to sit higher on the hip (helps to elongate those lovely legs). When you first put on your one piece, ensure it fits snugly around your pelvis and rests on or above your hip bone. If the suit doesn't sit high enough on your hips, the torso will feel too short, resulting in an overall improper fit.
We intentionally design our suits without shelves or extra padding in the chest area to ensure a close, sleek fit. This makes the one piece fit snugly around your chest to keep everything secure and in place. Your one piece should sit at least a hand-width below your collarbone. If it feels too low, try adjusting the suit by pulling it up higher from the hips.
Your one piece should lay flat across your torso without any bunching. If you notice bunching, it could indicate that your suit is too large.
The straps need to be fairly tight to ensure everything stays in place. To avoid discomfort, make sure your straps are snug without digging too deeply into your shoulders. You should be able to fit your index finger under the strap and comfortably lift the shoulder straps 2-3 inches. If you can lift them any higher, your one piece might shift when diving in and it won't fit properly on your chest.
The coverage of your suit is determined by how it sits on your bum. Opting for fuller coverage means more material and a scoop look around your cheeks. Choosing mid-coverage means the cut will go across your cheek. It's entirely up to personal preference which style suits you; everyone prefers the material to sit differently on their buttocks. Some prefer the minimal look and pull the suit up, while others prefer to keep more covered and enjoy the fullness. Our fuller coverage one pieces are designed with more material around the backside, so if you don't have a fuller behind, medium coverage is a great option to showcase your beautiful bum without being too cheeky.
