Lido is revered for its Italian-made, minimalist swimwear that sculpts and flatters. But with sleek, compression-based cuts, finding the precise size is essential—especially when shopping online.

That's where Tellar.co.uk comes in: the UK's no-cost sizing tool that matches your body shape (or known brand size) to Lido’s range in seconds. Complete with free tools, expert insight, and seamless support across 1,500+ brands, Tellar gives you confidence to shop without doubt or returns.

Why Lido Sizing Needs Precision

  • Compression fabrics: Lido uses high-tension stretch materials that contour every curve—so even a slight size mismatch can compromise support and comfort.

  • Minimalist construction: No padding, hardware, or adjustable ties—your fit depends entirely on cut.

  • Italian sizing system: An IT 44 could feel tight or loose depending on bust, waist, and hip proportions—make sure it’s right.

✅ Why Use Tellar.co.uk for Lido?

With Tellar, guesswork is gone. You get:

 How to Get Started

  1. Create a free profile at Tellar.co.uk.

  2. Input three key measurements (bust, waist, hips), or choose your size in a brand you already own.

  3. If needed, order your measuring tape free of charge.

  4. Select Lido via the Store Size Lookup, and you’ll instantly get your recommended Italian swimwear size.

Does Lido Run Small or Large?

  • Generally runs small for UK sizing—compression fits true to Italian cuts.

    • UK 10 often fits an IT 44 in Lido.

  • Tops & one-pieces: choose size up if you have a fuller bust or higher hip-to-waist ratio.

  • Bottoms: high-cut, sculpted—rely on hip measurement.

  • Tellar’s tool accounts for these fit tendencies to prevent ordering mishaps.

Lido Styles That Are Worth It

The One-Piece “The One”

  • Sleek, high-cut, zero-hardware—elegant and flattering once you have the right size.

Triangle Bikini Set

  • Minimalist support ideal for smaller or confident busts, with clean, modern aesthetics.

Scoop-Back Swimsuit

  • Provides more coverage and support—great mid-point option.

Lido Pareo

  • Versatile resort accessory—perfect for mix-and-match holiday wardrobes.

 Common Fit Questions

Q: UK 10 in COS = Lido size?

A: Likely IT 44, but confirm with Tellar after profile setup.

Q: Where’s the official Lido size chart?

A: On Lido's merchant sites—often in Italian. Tellar’s lookups, however, match it to your true measurements.

Q: Tall? Long torso?

A: Lido pieces are made for proportionally shorter torsos. If taller than 5’9″, size up or choose separates. Tellar flags these proportions too.
