Wearing the wrong size in that itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini can leave your "girls" looking less than their best. Find the right size using a sizing chart to convert your bra size to a bikini top size. When your bust is supported with the proper size, your whole beach-ready look will be better.

Find a sizing chart for the bikini brand you are going to purchase. Sizing charts can often be found online on the manufacturer website or occasionally on the tag attached to the bikini top. Need help finding the chart? Don't be shy, ask a salesperson for help.

Use the chart to determine your bikini size. A typical chart will consist of a row of cup sizes on top followed by a column of bust sizes. Using these two bra sizes will help you to find the best bikini size for you.

Try the bikini top on before you buy. You'll see if you need to adjust the size or style of bikini. Don't worry if you are buying your bikini on the web; online shops often let you return or exchange merchandise after you have had time to try the items on at home.
