FAQs

How do I find the right size for the Fantasie Shell Bay Gathered Bikini Top?

Refer to the Fantasie size chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your band size and cup size carefully. For this specific style, ensuring the band fits snugly and the cups provide full coverage is key.

Is the gold ring detail safe for swimming pools?

Yes, the hammered effect gold coloured ring detail is designed not to heat up in the sun and is suitable for poolside and swimming use.

Can this bikini top be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the bikini top gently with a mild detergent. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the fabric and underwire structure.

What makes the side sling feature beneficial?

The concealed side sling is designed to provide an additional layer of support and shaping, helping to create a forward-facing profile and a smooth, lifted appearance.

Does the gathered cup design work for all bust types?

Yes, the gathered cup design is intended to flatter all bust shapes, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing fit.

What is the material of the bikini top?

The bikini top is made from polyester, a common and durable material for swimwear.

How should I dry the bikini top after washing?

After rinsing out excess water, lay the bikini top flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and do not tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Bikini top not providing enough support

Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly for a snug fit and that the band is sitting comfortably and securely on your ribcage. Verify you have selected the correct size and cup measurement.

Straps digging into shoulders

Loosen the adjustable shoulder straps slightly. If the issue persists, re-check if the band size is correct, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to bear more weight.

Discoloration or material damage

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing with mild detergent, avoiding bleach, and air drying away from direct sunlight.

Metal ring detail feels uncomfortable

Ensure the ring is positioned correctly at the apex of the cups. The hammered effect is designed to be smooth, but slight adjustment may be needed for personal comfort.
