Mastectomy swimsuit size guide
How to measure
Use a soft tape and measure over light underwear, or over the breast form you'll swim in.
- Bust: around the fullest part, keeping the tape level under the arms.
- Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest point.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
