Sizing: How should
a swimsuit fit?
Swimwear is suppose to
fit very tightly when it is dry. Swimsuits can grow as much as a half
size when they are wet. It is particularly important
to order the correct size bottom to reduce the "baggy drawers" effect that
you often see at the beach. This is caused by wearing a suit to big.
A correctly fit swimsuit will have no wrinkles in it when it is worn dry.
