Women's 9ins Board Shorts - with Swim Briefs

We fit every body

We offer Regular, Plus and Long sizes, as well as a range of cup sizes in many of our swimwear styles. No matter your shape, swimwear requirements or preferred style, we have the suit for you. We all generally know what size we are, but just in case you’re not sure which style to choose, we have put together all the sizing information you may need, and how to take your measurements, so you can find your perfect suit.

How to measure

Accurate measuring is the first step in finding a great fitting suit. Measure over your undergarments and have someone help you, if possible.

All the measurements on our size chart are important. Surprisingly, torso length can have little relationship to height. A woman 5’ 9" tall may actually have a short torso and long legs, whereas a woman of 5’ 2" could have a long torso and short legs. We offer selected styles in both regular and long torso lengths to provide you with a better-fitting suit. Many of our suits are also available in D and DD cup, and in Plus sizes.

Torso

Run a tape measure diagonally across your body from your shoulders, over the fullest part of your bust, between your legs and back to the starting point.

Tip: for easier measuring, let the tape measure drop down your back from the shoulder; reach between your legs and bring the other end of the tape back up.

Bust

While wearing a bra with arms relaxed at your sides, measure the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Waist

Follow the dotted line for where to measure. Measure around your waist, while in your underwear, at the narrowest point. Add ½” for comfort.

Hips

Stand with your heels together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Choosing your suit

The right kind of coverage

With a variety of legs heights you can choose the right coverage for you. Our swimwear is styled with one of the following leg openings:

Modest leg height: offers the most coverage. Most of our swimwear range have this leg height – it sits just-right at the top of the leg, making the need for tugging back into place a thing of the past.

Medium leg height: cut slightly higher at the front; modest coverage at the back. A higher cut leg can make legs look longer – take a look at our Perfect® Swimsuits and Sunrise Collection.

SwimMinis: A swim skirt with integral briefs offers greater leg coverage.

Support is key

The right support ‘up top’ is the key to looking and feeling great. We offer cup sizes from A-DD, underwired and soft cup bras, even mastectomy styles*.

Shelf bra: offers light coverage and support.

Soft cup bra: offers medium support; Regular fits cup sizes A-C (some D/DD cup options).

Underwired bra: supports and enhances; Regular fits cup sizes A-C (some D/DD cup options).

*We offer mastectomy styles with prothesis pockets in our Tugless® Collection.
