    SIZING

    We've developed our unique Muse Measurement sizing system to offer a comfortable, sleek and sculpting fit, whatever your shape or size.

    We know that no two “size 12” bodies are the same, so our sizing is tailored to three different body shapes:

    • For AA-B cup busts: the Hepburn
    • For C-E cup busts: the Monroe
    • For F-HH cup busts: the Hendricks

    SWIMSUIT SIZING

    Step One: Pick your usual UK dress size from 8-20.

    Step Two: Pick your bust size based on our Muse Measurements system:

    MUSE MEASUREMENT HEPBURN MONROE HENDRICKS
    BRA CUP SIZE AA - B C - E F - HH


    So if you typically wear a UK size 14 and wear a 34A bra, you’d order a 14 Hepburn. Likewise if you’re a UK size 10 and wear a 30F bra, you’d order a 10 Hendricks.

    All our pieces are designed to offer stretch. However, if you’re in between sizes we recommend sizing up.

    If you are very long in the body, we also recommend going up a dress size to offer additional length.

    BIKINI TOP SIZING

    Our Swimbras & Swim Crops are designed to fit snugly so that you feel 100% secure as you move. We have developed a precise Bikini Sizing System to help you identify your correct size.

    BIKINI TOP SIZING Cup Size
    AA-B C-E F-HH

    Band Size (inches)

    26-28 8 Hepburn 8 Monroe 8 Hendricks
    28-30 10 Hepburn 10 Monroe 10 Hendricks
    30-32 12 Hepburn 12 Monroe 12 Hendricks
    34-36 14 Hepburn 14 Monroe 14 Hendricks
    38-40 16 Hepburn 16 Monroe 16 Hendricks
    42-44 18 Hepburn 18 Monroe 18 Hendricks

    KNICKER SIZING

    All our knickers come in standard UK dress sizes from size 8 - 18.

    BIGGER AND SMALLER SIZES

    We currently offer all bikinis in sizes 8-18 and all swimsuits in sizes 8-20.

    We are very aware that our size range is still relatively limited. We’re a small independent brand, and have focused initially on offering a highly comprehensive and effective set of products to women who wear dress sizes 8-20.

    However we are very responsive to demand. If you would like to see more sizes in different types of products please get in touch at [email protected] - we'd love to hear from you.

    For example, when we first launched back in June 2017 we tested customer demand for our products in sizes 8-16. So many of you got in touch to say that you were interested in our swimwear but needed larger sizes that within six months we expanded our size range up to UK size 20. We're really listening to you.

    STILL NOT SURE?
