Bust

Knowing what bust cup size you are will help you select a style that will fit your curvy body perfectly. Your cup size typically is the same cup size as the bra you are wearing. We have devised a chart that shows how you can work out your cup size. The cup size is actually worked out by the difference between the fullest bust measurement minus your under bust measurement. This can be used as a guide to work out what cup size you would be. Our Multifit curvy swimsuits will fit a larger range of cup plus sizes than our underwired curvy swimsuits styles which will typically fit 1 to 2 different cup sizes. Always check the description on the website or the swing ticket on the garment to determine what curve fit or plus size cup size we feel is most suited to that style.

	A Cup	B Cup	C Cup	D Cup	DD Cup	E Cup	F Cup	FF Cup	G Cup
CM	12-15	14-17	16-19	18-21	20-23	22-25	24-27	26-29	28-31

On all our Artesands size labels we have the sizing listed with a plus symbol next to it. Our plus symbol means ‘Plus a little bit more’.

At Artesands we developed an internal Artesands only unique sizing system based on measuring true every day curvy women and not fashion models and we have built our sizing system and structure around a mid-level size of AUS 18 / US 14 and doing our grades up and down from this. If you compare an AUS size 12+ Artesands to a regular size 12 you will see that our measurements allow for a softer fit across our curves. We allow for a little bit more room through the mid-section and a little bit more at the top of your back and underarm and a bit more through the hips. If you have curves and you try an Artesands swimsuit you will love how our ‘plus a little bit’ more sizing structure sits softer on your body and doesn’t dig in creating any bulgers over the top of the swimsuit rubbers. The ‘plus a little bit more’ does not affect the support of our swimsuits at all, if anything the ‘plus a little bit more’ increases the support, by allowing the swimsuit to sit in the correct position on your body and provide the best support for where we each as individuals need it.

Here at Artesands we fit your Curves!

Measuring your body accurately is important to make sure you order the best fitting curve fit or plus size swimsuit possible for your size and body shape. For some women this maybe a bit of a daunting task, but we ask you to take a deep breath, be calm and don’t think too much as you take your own body measurements. We would like to remind you that it really is just numbers. It is also very important to note that every body is different and it is very common to have completely different sizes on your bust, to your waist and to your hips. Having these differing measurements is what makes us, us, and gives us all our own unique body shape. At Artesands our women’s swimwear styles cater for all the differing curvy girl body shapes.
