Product Information

Full details

The Fantasie Shell Bay Gathered Bikini Top is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and supportive swimwear option for poolside or beach wear. Its key benefit is providing fuller coverage with a flattering gathered design and excellent support. A potential consideration is that while it offers adjustable straps, the fit can be specific to individual body types. This bikini top features a graphic geometric pattern in black and muted blush, underwire support, concealed side slings for a forward profile, fully adjustable shoulder straps, and powernet lined wings for enhanced support. It also includes a decorative hammered effect gold-colored ring detail at the apex that remains cool to the touch.

FAQs

What makes the Shell Bay bikini top suitable for fuller coverage?

The bikini top features fuller coverage cups combined with a concealed side sling and gathered detailing, all designed to provide support and a flattering, secure fit for larger busts.

How do I find the right size for this bikini top?

Refer to Fantasie's official sizing guide and measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (fullest part of bust). Ensure the band sits snugly and the cups fully enclose the breast tissue.

Is the gold ring detail safe for sun exposure?

Yes, the hammered effect gold-colored ring detail at the apex is designed not to heat up in the sun, preventing discomfort.

Can I machine wash this bikini top?

No, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the fabric quality and support features. Machine washing can damage the material and underwire.

What type of support does this bikini top offer?

It offers significant support through its underwire, concealed side sling, gathered cups, and powernet lined wings, providing a secure and uplifted feel.

What is the material of the bikini top?

The bikini top is primarily made of Polyester, with powernet lining in the wings for added support.

Does this bikini top come in other colors?

The Shell Bay collection features this style in black and muted blush. Other variations may exist in different color families within the collection, such as pink or multicolor geometric patterns.

Troubleshooting

Straps slipping or not staying in place

Ensure the adjustable straps are tightened correctly to fit your shoulder slope. If slippage persists, check that the fabric is not overly stretched.

Underwire feels uncomfortable

Verify that the bra size is correct. If the discomfort continues, the underwire style might not be the best fit for your body shape. Try adjusting the fit through the straps and band.

Color fading or fabric damage

Follow the care instructions carefully: hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Avoid harsh chemicals, machine washing, and direct heat.

Gathers appearing uneven

Gently smooth the fabric after washing and drying. The gathers are designed to lie flat and flatter the bust when worn; minor adjustments can be made during wear.
