Introduction
Finding the right fit in French swimwear labels can be a challenge if you are used to US standard sizing. Eres is known for its specific silhouettes and unique fabrics, which often require a different approach to choosing a size. If you are currently browsing for One-Piece Suits or Bikini Sets, understanding the nuances of French sizing will help you avoid the hassle of returns and ensure your selection fits your body correctly.
Understanding French Sizing Standards
Eres uses French (FR) sizing, which typically runs smaller than US or UK equivalents. For many shoppers, a FR 38 is roughly equivalent to a US size Small or a US 4/6. However, because the brand focuses on a very close, sculpted fit, many women find that they need to go up at least one size from their usual label size to feel comfortable.
If you are transitioning from standard Two-Piece Suits to a designer French brand, always check the specific measurements for the bust, waist, and hips. While a Brazilian Bikini might be more forgiving in the tie-side area, structured pieces require more precision.
When to Choose a Larger Size
There are specific scenarios where sizing up is highly recommended to achieve the right look and feel:
- Height Considerations: If you are taller than 5’5”, it is often necessary to buy the next size up in One-Piece Suits. This prevents the fabric from pulling vertically, which can lead to discomfort in the shoulders or a lower neckline than intended.
- Bust Measurements: For those with a larger bust, especially when choosing styles without an underbust seam like triangle tops or certain Tankini styles, sizing up provides better security.
- Preferred Fit: Eres uses a material called Peau Douce, which is designed to hug and sculpt the body. If you prefer a fit that is less restrictive, choosing one size larger than your standard measurement is a practical move.
Material and Shaping
The "Peau Douce" fabric is a signature of the brand, consisting of a polyamide and elastane blend. It is designed to provide a soft feel while offering a firm hold. This material does not typically have the same amount of stretch as standard economy swimwear, which is why the sizing feels so precise.
If you find that high-compression fabrics are not for you, you might enjoy exploring the Summer Collection at Outlet Bikini. Our selection offers various levels of stretch and shaping to help you find a look that matches your personal preference for ease of movement.
