Size Guide
Our sizes are chosen to fit real women comfortably, from beach days to dinner out. Use this guide together with the measurement chart on each product page, because fabrics and cuts vary from piece to piece.
Clothing: our typical sizes
Most Bella's Tropical clothing follows this pattern. Some styles run differently, so always check the chart on the product page.
| Our size | Typical US size | Typical bust (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 4 | about 35 |
| M | 6–8 | about 37 |
| L | 10–12 | about 39 |
| XL | 14 | about 42 |
| 2XL | 16 | about 45 |
Some cover-ups come in 3XL to 5XL; their product pages show the measurements.
How to measure
- Bust: around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your hips, with your feet together.
- Length: product lengths are measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
Measure over light clothing, with the tape snug but not tight. Product charts list the garment's measurements, so leave a little room for ease, more for flowing styles and less for fitted ones.
Between sizes?
- Smocked, stretchy or wrap styles: take your usual size; they adjust.
- Fitted styles with no stretch: go up a size.
- Cover-ups and kaftans: these are made to be relaxed; your usual size works for most.
Sandals
Our sandals use European sizes and most run true to size. A typical conversion: 36 = US 5, 37 = US 6, 38 = US 7, 39 = US 8, 40 = US 9, 41 = US 10, 42 = US 10.5, 43 = US 11. Check each product page, as some styles differ.
