Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen bikini top is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and contemporary swimwear option. Its key benefit lies in its versatile styling and flattering design, featuring striking contrast trim and a decorative buckle for a touch of glamour. A potential caveat is that it's sold as a top only, requiring separate purchase of matching bottoms for a complete look. Key features include a ruched centre front for shaping, detachable straps for customizable wear, and a high-waisted bottom complement.

FAQs

Is this a set or just the bikini top?

This product listing is for the Karen Millen bikini top only. The matching high-waisted bottoms are sold separately.

What is the material of the bikini top?

The product description does not specify the exact material composition, but it is designed for swimwear, typically a blend of nylon and elastane for stretch and quick-drying properties.

How do I adjust the fit of the top?

The fit can be adjusted visually through the ruching at the center front. The detachable straps allow for height adjustment if needed, though the primary fit comes from the band size.

Can I wear the decorative buckle in the water?

The decorative buckle is designed to be water-resistant as part of swimwear. However, prolonged exposure to salt or chlorinated water is best avoided, and rinsing after use is recommended.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Given the adjustable nature of the straps and the flattering ruching, if you are between sizes, consider your comfort level. A slightly smaller size might offer more support, while a larger size might offer more coverage.

How do I care for the contrast trim?

The contrast trim should be cared for gently. Hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry is the best method to maintain its integrity and color.

Troubleshooting

Fit is not as expected

Review the size guide carefully. Consider the ruched detailing which offers some flexibility. If the fit is significantly off, check the return policy for exchanges.

Straps are difficult to detach/reattach

Ensure the clasps are fully disengaged before attempting to remove or reattach the straps. Gently guide the strap attachment points into the designated slots.

Color fading or material damage

Follow the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing in cold water, using mild detergent, and avoiding harsh chemicals or high heat.
