Since then, something has changed, and bathing suits have become familiar. In fashion - tan, and a swimsuit contributes to its receipt: it is open to the limit, so that the details do not leave visible marks on the skin. Even the classics began to look different. Now she is more bold and feminine.

In summer, there is no limit to the variety of colors, the main thing is to look bright. Widely varies and the cutting of products.

At the separate swimsuit of this model the breast is covered with "bandinini" - a wide ribbon, fastened or tied behind. But wide straps are in the "halter", and they well support the chest, tied around the neck. Perhaps, this is today the most trendy and popular model.

Among the closed swimsuits , the "Mayo" model with sewn straps, P- or V-neckline in the decollete area and cups for the bust looks attractive. It is similar to "tanko", only it has wide, one-piece straps.

Cut to the very collarbone in swimsuits "high-neck", enough to bare the body. By analogy with it, the "planning" model is made, which has deep holes in front and on the back. Not so long ago, there were mini-dresses for swimming - "sum-dress", considered to be sportive.

How to choose the ideal model?

How to determine the size of a leotard? The most accessible way is to measure the circumference of the chest and under the breast with the help of a centimeter at the most prominent points in order to pick up the upper part of it and also the hips to choose the swimming trunks.

If you plan to buy a one-piece swimsuit, you will need to know the waist circumference and height. In addition, the measurements should be accurate, yet it is necessary to take into account differences in the parameters of different countries.

A very useful and a table size swimsuits.

National Features

The size of the Russian-made swimsuit is designed for growth from 170 to 176 cm and from 158 to 164 cm, up to 56. Chinese factories use the international lettering system for indicating the size (in increasing order): S, M, L, XL with an increase in the number of X as an indicator of non-standard Volumes. The Chinese have more miniature parameters, so Chinese-made swimsuits for Russian women are not enough.

The standards of sizes of swimsuits made in the USA are completely different from Russian, Chinese and European. The figures are indicated in inches, which corresponds to 2.54 cm.

The countries of Europe also sew swimsuits according to their standards. The Russian size of the swimsuit is equal to the European size plus 6 units to its indicator. Among European standards, its own series exists in Italy, France, Germany, Poland, as well as Great Britain - the products of these countries are different from those common in Europe.

Italy marks products in numbers from 1 to 6. The Russian size will correspond to its digital index minus 2.

Germany and Poland do not use the "from" and "to" indicators, their value is average, so only one number is indicated in the amount. The slender swimsuit produced by these countries should be taken more, because it is designed for an average height of not more than 165 cm.

Useful little things

Separate swimsuits are completed with a bodice and swimming trunks, therefore it is necessary to select the size at once for two things. The swimsuit label mainly contains a figure corresponding to the girth under the chest, and the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G are the cup fullness, defined as the difference in girths under the chest and chest.

Cups of the top of the swimsuit are as follows (diameter in centimeters): A - 12-13; B - 14-15; C - 16-17; D-18-19; E - 20-21; F-22-23; G-24-25. For example, if the girth under the chest is 80 cm, and the chest - 98 cm, then the size is calculated as follows: 98-80 = 18 cm, which corresponds to the D-cup. That is, you need to choose a swimsuit with bodice 80 D.

As a rule, the sizes of the top part of a bathing suit and swimming trunks are proportional, that is, are appropriately selected by the manufacturer, proceeding from a standard complete set. For example, the girth of the thighs is 107 cm, according to the correspondence table - it is the smelting of the Russian 48-50, which is equal to the European 42, suitable for the top 80 D with a girth of 98 cm under the chest.

As a convenient alternative, always provides a replacement size, the so-called parallel. For example, 85A can be easily replaced with 80V. This does not apply to bathing kits with straps without fasteners.

Let's say we managed to accurately measure our parameters, and it turned out that they fit immediately under two sizes. In this case, it is better to choose that swimsuit, which is more to avoid the effect of tightening and not attract attention to the beach swimsuit, which is clearly small.
