Wondering how to get a closet full of great-fitting outfits? Time to bring out that tape measure.

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to take body measurements accurately & easily.

How to measure

  • Bust

    Run tape measure from the top of your shoulder, between your legs & up again back to where you started.

    I wish these shorts were lined. I need them because of a scar on my upper thigh.

    I didn't realize these were loose without a swim liner. I do not think i want to swim with these. They are more for cover up

    These shorts are great, really comfortable, true to size (similar to Torrid sizing) and don't make that swishing sound with the fabric when you walk. My only complaint is that, to be swimwear, there should be an option with a built-in liner so you don't have to wear underwear.

    Love the length of these shorts and that they can be worn in and out of the pool (not just for swimming). They do get a little heavy in the water but overall very pleased with my purchase.

    Size down a lot!

    I wear a size 8 hanes women's underwear and I ordered a 2xl in the 4 inch board shorts. They hung down past my knees. The width and length were both much larger than expected. The purple color was beautiful, the outside material was great, but I did not like the texture inside. You definitely need swim bottoms or underwear with them. If I exchange for a smaller size instead of just returning them, I'll order 2 or 3 sizes down.

    I love the material--soft and dries quickly. I would love Deeper Pockets, please. OH! and a loop so I could attach a key....

    The service was great. I haven't really tested the durability of the shorts yet, as that's what I needed from them. But they are performing well, if not to see how strong they are.
