Most of the sizing info on swimsuit websites is based on inches and very few people actually know their measurements. 2. Read the comments and reviews. I always look at the comment section. People give really helpful feedback on sizing and quality and overall fit of the suit, it helps me know if I should size up or down. (If you find a suit that you like, write a review and help others!) 3. Research return policies. Many people plan to order several swimsuits online, try them on in the comfort of their home, and return the ones that don’t fit. Make sure to read the return policies carefully!
