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

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

    Too big and other problems

    1 out of 5 stars

    The shorts have a nice floral design, I really liked that. The shorts were too big. I'll be honest I didn't like the material at all. The material came off as cheap and flimsy. The shorts material was more sheer than what I expected, no lining and I would not want to wear them wet or dry in public. Maybe lounge shorts, or sleepwear but not swimwear.

    Not baby body friendly :( But soft!

    Early 30s mom of 5 here. I am 6’1” and the shorts hit about 5” above my knee. I was excited about the shorts but I was kind of bummed when I tried them on. They are soft (which, comfy is good right?) but unfortunately thin and unlined, you can faintly see the color of my swim bottoms through the white patches in the pattern. I am concerned they won’t hold up that well since the fabric is thin. I was expecting a thicker more structured fit. They also tend to hug everything so they show lines of the swim bottoms underneath and don’t really hide anything else. So, as women, its amazing that our bodies can carry babies and give birth, but things worth doing can leave some scars (lumps, bumps, and we totally change shape sometimes…its worth it!) but we still want to feel good in our swim suits and not feel like our proverbial “battle scars” are on display to everyone if you catch my drift. So I can’t say I love them for myself if I am honest.

    Not a swim bottom

    originally posted on Calypsa
    I didn’t realize that these shorts have no inner swim bottom, they are just a pair of shorts. The fabric seemed nice for a quick dry, but I returned them because they cannot be worn on their own, and I was looking for a swim bottom.

    Bought this swim wear for my mom who is extremely modest and doesn’t like exposing her body. It was an absolute hit! She loved it, if only the price was just as great, I would be able to purchase more.

    The board shorts ran larger than usual and are thinner than the picture looks. They are more flowy. However, I like the comfort.

    I bought the swim shorts and the Maya tankini swim top.. I bought a size up from what I usually wear. I believe this is the best fitting swim suit that I’ve ever had. I am very pleased with my purchase. It was also reasonably priced.
