FAQs
What makes this bikini top different from regular swimwear?
This Elomi bikini top incorporates construction techniques and materials similar to lingerie, providing enhanced support, shaping, and a secure fit, especially for larger busts, thanks to its underwire and powernet lining.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
Refer to Elomi's specific sizing guide. It's recommended to measure your band and cup size accurately. Since this is based on lingerie sizing, precise measurements are key for the best fit and support.
Can the ruffle be completely removed?
The ruffle is designed to be worn either on or off the shoulders, offering styling versatility. It is not designed to be fully detachable.
Is this bikini top suitable for swimming in the ocean?
Yes, the fabric with LYCRA® XTRA LIFETM is designed to be durable and resistant to chlorine and saltwater. However, always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after swimming in the ocean.
What kind of support does the underwire provide?
The underwire provides structured support by lifting and separating the bust, helping to create a smooth shape and offering a more secure feel than non-wired swimwear.
How often should I hand wash this bikini top?
It is recommended to hand wash the bikini top after each wear, especially after exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or sunscreen, to maintain its quality and longevity.
Does the lining offer any padding?
The description mentions it is 'fully lined with a light but supportive fabric'. It does not specify padding, suggesting a comfortable lining rather than built-in padded cups.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or not staying put
Adjust the straps to a comfortable, secure length. Ensure the bikini top is the correct size; if it's too small, the straps may feel tight.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Verify that the bikini top is the correct size and that the underwire is sitting correctly in the cup. If discomfort persists, this style may not be the best fit for your body shape.
Fabric losing elasticity or shape
Ensure the garment is being hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried flat, as per care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and machine drying, which can degrade the fabric.
Ruffle not staying in desired position
The ruffle is designed to be flexible. Ensure the fabric is smooth and free of kinks. If worn off the shoulder, ensure straps are adjusted for optimal tension to help hold it in place.
