How to Measure Yourself for the YARA Bikini
For the most accurate fit, use a soft measuring tape and measure directly against your skin (not over clothing). Stand naturally and breathe normally.
📏 Bust Measurement (for the YARA Triangle Top)
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. This is your bust measurement. The YARA triangle top is adjustable at the shoulders and back via gold metal slider straps, so it accommodates a range within each size.
📏 Waist Measurement
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
📏 Hip Measurement (for the YARA Cheeky Bottom)
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, usually 20–25 cm below your waist. This is the most important measurement for the YARA cheeky bottom, which sits at the hip and offers ½ rear coverage.
YARA Top Fit Guide
The YARA triangle top features:
- Adjustable gold metal slider straps at the shoulders — allowing you to raise or lower the triangle cups for your preferred coverage and lift
- Gold buckle back band (3 cm wide) — adjustable for a secure, custom fit across the back
- Removable padded cups — wear with pads for shape and support, or remove for a natural silhouette
Small bust tip: The YARA triangle top works beautifully for smaller busts — the adjustable straps allow you to create lift and shape. Keep the pads in for added volume.
Larger bust tip: Size up for the top if you are between sizes. The wide back band and adjustable straps provide excellent support for fuller busts.
YARA Bottom Fit Guide
The YARA cheeky bottom offers ½ rear coverage — a Brazilian-cut silhouette that sits between a full brief and a thong. It is designed to sit at the natural hip, not the waist.
- If you prefer more coverage: Size up for the bottom. The extra fabric will provide slightly more rear coverage while still maintaining the cheeky silhouette.
- If you prefer a snugger fit: Stay true to size or size down. The nylon-spandex fabric has excellent stretch and recovery.
- Curvy figures: If your hips are at the top of a size range, size up for the bottom for the most comfortable and flattering fit.
Frequently Asked Questions About YARA Sizing
What size is the YARA bikini in US sizing?
The YARA bikini follows European sizing. As a general guide: XS = US 2, S = US 4, M = US 6, L = US 8, XL = US 10. Always refer to the measurement chart above for the most accurate fit.
Does the YARA bikini run true to size?
Yes — the YARA bikini runs true to European sizing. The adjustable gold hardware on both the top and bottom means you have flexibility within your size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for the top and sizing down for the bottom.
Is the YARA bikini suitable for curvy women?
Absolutely. The YARA triangle top's adjustable straps and wide back band provide excellent support for fuller busts, and the cheeky bottom's stretchy nylon-spandex fabric accommodates curves beautifully. Many customers with curvy figures find the YARA one of the most flattering bikinis they own.
Is the YARA bikini good for a small bust?
Yes. The triangle silhouette and removable pads are ideal for smaller busts — you can customise the coverage and lift to your preference. The adjustable shoulder straps allow you to create shape and definition regardless of cup size.
What is the difference between the YARA Grey, Orange, and Green sets?
All three YARA colourways share the same cut, sizing, and construction. The only difference is the colour. Grey offers an understated, minimalist aesthetic; Orange is vibrant and sun-kissed; Green is rich and editorial. All are available in XS–XL (EU 34–42).
Can I buy the YARA top and bottom in different sizes?
Yes — the YARA top and bottom are sold as a set, but if you need different sizes for top and bottom, please contact Franco Marine directly and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
YARA Sizing for Different Body Types — Usage Scenarios
🌊 Beach Vacation Packing: Travelling to Ibiza, Tulum, or Mykonos? Use the size chart above to confirm your YARA size before you travel — no returns needed when you get it right the first time.
📸 Content Creators & Influencers: The YARA's adjustable straps mean you can style the top differently for different shots — tighter for a structured look, looser for a relaxed editorial feel. Size true to fit for the most versatile styling options.
🛥️ Yacht & Active Wear: If you plan to swim actively or spend time on a boat, we recommend sizing true or down for the bottom for a more secure fit. The gold buckle back band on the top keeps everything in place during movement.
🌅 Honeymoon & Special Occasions: For a honeymoon or special trip, take your measurements carefully and refer to the chart. The YARA's premium nylon-spandex holds its shape beautifully — it will look as good on day 10 as it does on day 1.
