The Minimale Fit Report
What ten years of orders say about swimwear fit.
We looked at every order placed on minimaleanimale.com from 2016 to 2026 and asked one question: when a woman finds a suit that fits, what does she do next?
86% reorder the same size
Of the women who came back to order again, 86% chose the size they bought the first time. Our cuts are fitted on one fit model and they don't change from season to season. Find your size once and it stays your size.
Nearly half come back for a cut they already own
47% of returning customers reordered a cut they already had, usually in a new color. We don't redesign what works. We make it again in the next color.
1 in 3 bikini orders mix sizes
A third of the orders with both a top and a bottom had a different size in each. Most bodies aren't one size top to bottom, so every Minimale top and bottom is sold on its own.
What this means for you
What size bikini should I get?
Use your usual size, and check the Fit Guide for each cut's measurements. If you're between sizes, size up.
Can I wear a different size on top and bottom?
Yes. One in three of our customers does. Tops and bottoms are sold separately so you can.
Will my next Minimale suit fit like my first?
The cuts stay the same, and 86% of returning customers reorder the same size.
