PHARFAITE Size Range & Feedback:
Japanese standard sizes: S – XXL
S and XL : not available for some models.
Some products (especially underwear, bikinis and costumes) have one-size-fits-all, but these are described in detail on the respective product pages.
My size feedback:
In my experience so far, PHARFAITE's sizes (including those from SCHE/MEE) are very solid.
And as a rule, you can say: "If one suit fits me in size L, then the other one in size L will fit me too!"
That's almost true, but there are a few small exceptions:
1) The Pharfaite "Binder" swimsuits all run a bit small - in my opinion, this is due to the very "body-shaping" NEO cut.
2) And for the rubberized models made of BLACK MATERIAL, I would also recommend going a size larger, as the material is not as stretchy.
For suits that fall outside the size range, there is corresponding size feedback on the product pages. This can be found at:
