We believe that every woman deserves to feel confident, comfortable, and absolutely fabulous in her swimwear. But let’s be honest: shopping for swimsuits online can be tricky. The secret to ditching the dressing room drama and finding a suit you love lies in one thing—the perfect fit. A swimsuit that hugs your curves in all the right places doesn't just look better; it feels better, allowing you to swim, play, and relax without a second thought.
That’s why we’ve created the official Sassy Side Up Modest Swimwear Size Guide. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to find your ideal size and style, so you can spend less time worrying and more time making waves.
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Before you even glance at a size chart, grab a soft measuring tape. Taking accurate measurements is the most important step in finding a swimsuit that feels like it was made for you. For the best results, measure yourself over unpadded undergarments.
-
Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape level across your back and snug, but not tight.
-
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above your belly button.
-
Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
-
Torso: This is the secret to a great-fitting one-piece! Place the measuring tape at the top of one shoulder, bring it down diagonally across your body, go through your legs, and then back up to the starting point on your shoulder. This "loop" measurement is crucial for avoiding suits that are too short or too long.
Step 2: Consult the Sassy Side Up Size Chart
Once you have your numbers, it’s time to check them against our size chart. Most swimwear sizing corresponds to your clothing size, but it's always best to confirm with your measurements.
What if I’m between sizes? This is a common question! Here’s our sassy suggestion:
-
For compressive fabrics or a snug, performance fit, consider sizing down.
-
For a more relaxed, comfortable fit, we recommend sizing up.
-
If your measurements fall into different size categories, prioritize the fit for the largest measurement. The beauty of Sassy Side Up separates is that you can mix and match sizes for a truly custom fit!
Step 3: Find the Right Fit for Your Body Type
Your unique shape is what makes you beautiful, and the right swimsuit will celebrate it. Here are some tips for common fit challenges to help you choose the best Sassy Side Up modest swimwear for you:
-
For a Large Bust: Support is your best friend! Look for styles with features like built-in shelf bras, underwire, removable pads, and thicker, adjustable straps. These elements provide the lift and security you need to feel confident. A high-neck style can also offer great coverage and a chic, sporty look.
-
For a Long Torso: The struggle to find a one-piece that doesn’t pull or ride up is real. Tankinis are a fantastic solution, giving you the look of a one-piece with the flexible fit of a two-piece. You can also look for one-pieces specifically designed for long torsos.
-
For Tummy Confidence: If you prefer a little extra coverage or smoothing around the midsection, look for suits with tummy control panels or flattering ruching. High-waisted bottoms are not only on-trend but also provide a sleek, supportive silhouette that pairs perfectly with any swim top.
-
For Plus-Size Figures: We believe stylish swimwear should be accessible to everyone. Our inclusive sizing is designed to flatter every curve. Look for high-quality fabrics that hug your body without constricting it and styles like swim dresses or A-line tankinis that accentuate your shape beautifully.
Step 4: Choose Your Sassy Style
Now for the fun part! Every Sassy Side Up style is designed with both fashion and function in mind.
-
One-Pieces: A timeless choice, perfect for a sleek and secure fit. Remember to check your torso measurement for these!
-
Tankinis: The ultimate in versatility. Mix and match tops and bottoms to create a look that’s all your own.
-
Swim Dresses: Effortlessly chic and feminine, swim dresses offer fantastic coverage and often come with built-in shorts for extra comfort.
-
Separates (Tops, Bottoms, Skirts, and Shorts): Don't be afraid to build your own swim outfit! Pairing swim shorts or a skirt with your favorite top gives you a comfortable, modest look that’s ready for anything.
