Getting the right cut for your personal physique is a unique experience for everyone, a lot goes into determining design and size - the best place to start is your brief size.
HOW DO I CHOOSE MY BRIEF SIZE?Your brief size is determined by your hip measurement. Your hip measurement is to be taken on your HIGH HIP which is on your underwear line--NOT around your Glutes or widest part. Take a tape measure and measure the full circumference of your hips
We want you to look and feel your absolute best on stage so please make sure you check your measurements properly. Remember to order with your stage weight in mind.
If you happen to be in between two sizes then please select the smaller size on your order form as you are likely to drop size as your competition date approaches. However if you are already close to stage weight then the bigger size may be more appropriate.

| 4 | 70-75cm |
| 6 | 75-80cm |
| 8 | 80-85cm |
| 10 | 85-90cm |

The last aspect of your brief design to consider is your crotch measurement.
WHAT IS A CROTCH MEASUREMENT?
Your crotch measurement is an optional measurement you can offer when placing your order. Our standard pattern will fit the vast majority of sizes but you may feel free to add this measurement in your order notes if you have a c-section scar you wish to hide or if you want your bottoms to sit higher or lower than usual. if you are quite tall, providing your crotch measurement will ensure the correct coverage.
To find your crotch measurement, take your tape measure to your back and hold the end of it at the top of your underwear. Pass the tape though your legs and take note of the measurement of where you would like your suit to sit at the front. Somewhere between 35-50cm is considered normal. Please contact us if you have any troubles.
