Generally, you should order your pre-pregnancy size (in other words, the size you wore before you were pregnant). Our sizing takes into account weight gain and a growing belly all the way to 9 months. When selecting your size, use the measurements chart below as a guide.
Pre-Pregnancy Size | 4-6 | 8-10 | 12-14 | 16-18 | 20 | 22 |
Mermaid Maternity® Size | Small | Medium | Large | XL | XXL | 2X |
Current Bust Measurement* (inches) | 36-37.5 | 38-40 | 40.5-42.5 | 43-45 | 46-48 | 47-49 |
Current Hip Measurement** (inches) | 38-39.5 | 40-42 | 42.5-44.5 | 45-47 | 48-50 | 49-51 |
For larger bust sizes: If your bra cup size is DDD or higher, you may want to go up 1 size, but we do not recommend going up 2 sizes. For example, if you normally wear a size medium in a fitted t-shirt but your bust measurement falls within the 'Large' box in our size chart, you should order a size large. However, if you wear a size medium in a fitted t-shirt but your bust measurement falls within the 'XL' box in our size chart, we recommend ordering a size large, not an XL.
If you have specific fit questions feel free to contact us. When you try on your swimwear, keep in mind that it will stretch a bit when wet.
