Feel the Fit.

Longitude swimwear is made with a real women's body in mind, providing a longer length for a better fit for all body types. Longitude isn't just for women who are taller or have a longer torso ... it's the perfect option for someone with a fuller figure or who just prefers a little more coverage.

How to Measure

Bust

Measure the fullest part of the bust. Tape measure should be parallel to the floor.

Waist

Standing straight up, measure around waist at natural crease of waist.

Hips

Stand with heels together and measure around the fullest part of low waist, approximately 7-8” down from natural wait.

Torso

With help, hold a tape at your shoulder. Let it drop down at back. Reach through your legs for the tape and bring it up, across the fullest part of the bust.

Choosing the Right Size

When purchasing our swimwear for the first time, many customers order a swimsuit in their usual size for the most comfortable and slimming fit. Sizing up is suggested depending on your fit preference, if you are between sizes or if you prefer a less snug fit.

Getting into Your Swimsuit

Step into the leg openings and shimmy your swimsuit up, making sure to gather and pull from the bottom of the suit up (pulling from the top or straps will make this process much more cumbersome). Place the straps over your shoulders and adjust accordingly.

Caring For Your Swimsuit

After each use, hand wash your swimsuit in cool, clear water and hang to dry. Do not use chlorine bleach. Do not iron or tumble dry. Following these instructions will help extend the lifespan of your swimsuit so you can enjoy it even longer.

Finding Your Fit

If a suit doesn’t fit right, it won’t ever look or feel right!
Always begin with the right size.

Straps

Can you fit your thumb comfortably under the strap? If you can’t, the suit is too small. If the straps slide off the shoulders or feel loose, try a smaller size or a different style. 

Back

Check coverage. Cuts, bulges or riding up? Try a different style or larger size. Sagging or drooping? Try a smaller size. 

Bra

The breasts should fill out the bra. If there's gapping or lack of support, try a smaller size or a different style. The right suit will give support, separation and coverage. 

Crotch

Check coverage. Cuts, bulges or riding up? Try a different style or larger size. Sagging or drooping? Try a smaller size. 

Underarm

Check coverage. Cuts, bulges or riding up? Try a different style or larger size. Sagging or drooping? Try a smaller size. 

Derriere

Check coverage. Cuts, bulges or riding up? Try a different style or larger size. Sagging or drooping? Try a smaller size. 

Lift arms, twist, bend, squat, jump up and down! Make sure the suit is where it’s supposed to be and still feels good.
