Crop Top
The crop top is available in nine sizes, from 1/XXS to 9/4XL.
To choose your size, measure your bust circumference at the fullest part.
- Size 1/ XXS: 70-75 cm
- Size 2: XS: 80-85 cm
- Size 3/ S: 90-95 cm
- Size 4/ M: 100-105 cm
- Size 5/ L: 110-115 cm
- Size 6/ XL: 120-125 cm
- Size 7/ 2XL: 130-135cm
- Size 8/ 3XL: 140-145 cm
- Size 9/ 4XL: 150-155cm
The top is designed to sit just below the bust. As the length of the bust section varies depending on body shape, and because the fabric shortens slightly once worn due to its stretch, we recommend trying it on as you work to achieve your preferred fit.
Bikini Bottoms
The bikini bottoms are available in nine sizes, from 1/XXS to 9/4XL.
To choose your size, measure your hip circumference at the fullest part.

- Size 3/ S: 100-105 cm
- Size 4/ M: 110-115 cm

If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for a closer, more supportive fit.
