Find your perfect size
because a good fit is everything.
How to measure
Grab a soft measuring tape. Measure directly on the skin or over thin underwear, without pulling tight. Stand straight, relaxed.
01
Bust
Wrap a measuring tape around your bust at the fullest point (across the nipples). Stand straight, arms down, don't pull tight.
02
Underbust
Place the tape just under your bust, fully horizontal, against your skin. Exhale normally and measure.
03
Waist
At the natural curve of your waist (the narrowest point of your torso), tape horizontal, don't pull tight.
04
Hips
At the widest point of your hips and bottom, standing with feet together, tape fully horizontal.
05
Height
Your standing height, barefoot, back flat against a wall. Measure from floor to the top of your head. (Needed for the one-piece only.)
Bikini top
Our tops come in 4 sizes, based on your underbust and cup. No scaled-down standard sizes: every pattern is built specifically for small busts.
| LA SMOLE size | Underbust | Bust | Cup |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80-85-90 AA/A | 63 - 77 cm | 70 - 85 cm | AA or A |
| 80-85-90 B/C | 63 - 77 cm | 74 - 89 cm | B or C |
| 95-100-105 AA/A | 78 - 92 cm | 85 - 100 cm | AA or A |
| 95-100-105 B/C | 78 - 92 cm | 89 - 104 cm | B or C |
💡
How to figure out your cup? Measure your bust and your underbust, then calculate the difference: less than 12 cm = AA/A, 12 cm or more = B/C.
Bikini bottom
The bottom is chosen by your hip measurement only.
| Size | Hips |
|---|---|
| XS | 82 - 88 cm |
| S | 88 - 94 cm |
| M | 94 - 100 cm |
| L | 100 - 106 cm |
📏
Between two sizes? Pick the smaller one for a more fitted hold, the larger one for extra comfort.
One-piece, Rialta
Height is the main criterion: it sets the length of the swimsuit. Hips, bust and waist are secondary.
| Size | Height ⭐ | Hips | Bust | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 155 - 160 cm | 82 - 88 cm | 73 - 77 cm | 60 - 66 cm |
| S | 160 - 165 cm | 88 - 94 cm | 78 - 82 cm | 66 - 72 cm |
| M | 165 - 170 cm | 94 - 100 cm | 83 - 87 cm | 72 - 78 cm |
| L | 170 - 176 cm | 100 - 106 cm | 88 - 92 cm | 78 - 84 cm |
⭐
Between two sizes? Go by your height first (± 5 cm tolerance). A swimsuit slightly loose at the hips is fine, but too long or too short at the torso will be uncomfortable.
Our sizes aren't shrunk standard sizes. Every pattern was built from scratch for small busts.

Frequently asked questions
I'm between two sizes, what should I do?
For tops, go by your underbust first. For bottoms, size up if you're unsure. For the Rialta, height takes priority: a swimsuit too long or too short at the torso will be more of a problem than a slight adjustment at the hips.
Do your swimsuits run small or large?
Our swimsuits are designed specifically for small busts: they don't run small, they don't run large, they run right. If you usually wear standard swimsuits where the triangles are too wide or the cup gapes, our cuts should fit you perfectly.
What cup does AA/A and B/C correspond to?
At LA SMOLE, the cup is determined by the difference between your bust and your underbust. Less than 12 cm of difference = AA/A cup (very small bust). 12 cm or more = B/C cup (small bust). Our B cup roughly corresponds to the AA of the standard market, and our C to the standard A.
I wear a 32B at H&M, what size should I pick?
A 32B H&M roughly corresponds to our 80-85-90 B/C size. But careful: lingerie and swimwear sizing varies a lot from one brand to another. We recommend measuring yourself to be sure.
Is there any padding in your swimsuits?
No. No padding, no push-up, no removable cups. Our swimsuits hug the bust as it is. The shape comes from the cut and the pattern, not from any trick.
What if my size isn't available?
LA SMOLE covers underbust from 63 to 92 cm and hips from 82 to 106 cm. If your measurements are outside this range, write to us at hello@lasmole.com: we're keeping track for the next collections.
