Swimsuit Measurements (Maternity)

Please take these measurement while wearing skin-tight clothing or underwear. Enter your measurements into the box under your shopping cart.

Hold the tape measure smooth against your skin without pulling tight. Stand straight but naturally. I will make all the calculations for growth, seam allowance and fabric stretch, but I can't do that accurately with inaccurate numbers!

Please excuse my illustrations. I'll be getting updated ones up as soon as possible. In the meantime, I hope these imperfect ones are still a small help to you. E-mail me if you have any questions.

I know there are a lot of these, but there is a lot of variation between sizes and I want your swim suit to fit perfectly.

Prepregnancy waist, cup size,

Bust,
around the your bust at the widest part. I'll also need your cup size.

Under bust,
around your chest just below the bust.

Belly
around your belly at the fullest part. (

Hip,
around the widest area of your hipships.

These are shown in the picture below, top to bottom.

Shoulder to under bust and shoulder to hem
put the tape measure on the top of the shoulder--where the seam of most jumpers would be--and measure the distance to your under bust measurement and then to the place to want the hem of your dress to fall. It's nice to have a helper for this last one, it's hard to do without bending over and distorting the measurement.

Leg opening at hem of shorts,
measure around your leg where you want the hem of your shorts or leggings to be.

These are shown in this next picture. I have marked the original measurements too because some of these new ones measure the distances between the first ones.

Thank you!
