Sizing Charts
Exotic Waterwear’s fabrics and styles are very forgiving size wise. The fabric is 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex, therefore has quite a degree of stretch allowing for a flexible yet supportive comfortable fit. The styles have been tested and sized for “real” people, not models.
Please see the individual sizing guidelines for each style. If you’re still unsure about your size, send me your measurements and I can then advise you. I will get back to you promptly, 24 hours at the latest. (contact details at the end).
And thank you to the lovely ladies I work with, of all shapes and sizes, who were so helpful in trying on and advising on sizing so we could have detailed information for you.
Halter Top
The halter top is designed to accommodate cup sizes A through to D (possible DD depending on how revealing a fit you like). The fabric has a good degree of stretch, so will accommodate various cup sizes.

ExoStingers
Please note, the Lucy Fire ExoStinger does not have quite as much give to it as the other fabrics, so if in doubt, order one size larger. The Charna Leopard has more stretch to it than the other fabrics so will accommodate up to an Australian size 14 easily and up to a size 16 depending on your body shape.
For example, I have a 5 foot 6 inch client whose measurements are: Chest 40 inches, Waist 37 inches, hips 45 inches. The L/XL in the Lucy Fire fits well, and the Charna Leopard L/XL fits nicely as well with a little room in it for someone slightly larger.
There are only 2 sizes in the ExoStingers as the fabric has quite a bit of stretch and can accommodate a large range of sizes, from 8 -14 easily.
The guidelines for fit are around body types. Please check the chart for your average size then refer to the guidelines for individual fit below the chart.

Average height, larger upper body, slim legs:
Tall with long legs and normally wear from a size 8-12:
Tall with long legs and normally wear from a size 12 – 14:
If you are ordering the ExoStinger to wear with the feet fully enclosed (for under a wetsuit for example) and you are tall with very long legs, then please order the L/XL. It will not be too big and you will need the extra length.
Regardless of your size, if you have very long legs, or short heavy legs (like me) or a long body, please order the L/XL. It will not be too big.
The sundress is very fitted through the body/waist, however as it is the same fabric as the ExoStingers, it has a fair amount of stretch. If in doubt, order a size larger than usual.
