Goddess sized garments for you ('cos who's ever heard of a bony Goddess?!)
USA sizing is a little more generous than the equivalent Australian size - the chart below gives an approximate comparison.

But, as we all know, different manufacturers size their garments in different ways - so it's always best to brave the tape measure and compare!
The measurements are for the recommended body size (rather than the actual size of the swimsuit).
The chart above gives a good explanation on how to measure for a perfect fit - the measurements are in inches... so I have converted the information into centimetres for you below.

But what if your measurements don't exactly match with one size?
These swimwear styles are fabulous for those of us who don’t have hourglass figures! If your measurements aren’t consistent with one size on the size chart eg. one size up top and a couple of sizes different on the bottom then it's best to go with the bust measurement - which is generally the smaller size ;-)
There is plenty of stretch to accommodate the bottom... but please don't don’t hesitate to send me a message to assist in working out which size would suit.
Don’t be shy… there’s nothing that I haven’t seen (as a plus size myself I can certainly relate!)
See my other pages:
Click on the filmstrip to visit my eBay store... plenty of other styles and sizes of bathers, cossies, togs, swimmers, swimming and bathing costumes (or whatever you'd like to call them!)
Keep an eye on my listings, as I'll be listing swimwear and garments that will appeal to curvi girls who'd never be mistaken for Ally McBeal's stunt double ;-)
