FAQs

What material is the bikini bottom made from?

The Karen Millen High Waist Bikini Bottom is made from a smooth knitted fabric with excellent stretch. The specific material composition may include nylon and elastane for durability and fit, and it features a lined construction.

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

We recommend consulting the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to waist and hip measurements, as the high-waisted design requires a precise fit for optimal comfort and flattering appearance.

Can this bikini bottom be machine washed?

It is highly recommended to hand wash this bikini bottom to preserve its shape and fabric integrity. Machine washing, especially with a spin cycle, can damage the delicate knit and elasticity.

What is the benefit of the clean-cut edges?

The clean-cut edges are designed to provide a seamless appearance, meaning they lay flat against the skin and do not create visible lines when worn under other beachwear such as cover-ups or sarongs.

Is this bikini bottom suitable for active swimming?

Yes, the high-waisted design and stretchy, durable fabric offer a secure fit that is suitable for swimming. The full coverage also adds to comfort and confidence during water activities.

Can I mix and match this bottom with other bikini tops?

Absolutely. The classic black color and sophisticated design of this high-waist bikini bottom make it very versatile for mixing and matching with a wide array of bikini tops, whether they are from the same Karen Millen collection or from other brands.

How durable is the fabric?

The fabric is designed to be durable and maintain its shape even after exposure to water, including salt water and chlorine. Proper care as outlined in the guide will further extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Stretching or loss of shape

Ensure proper care by rinsing after each use and hand washing with mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and harsh chemicals. Lay flat to dry in the shade.

Fading color

Rinse thoroughly after each use. When washing, use a mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying. Always dry in the shade.

Discomfort or poor fit

Verify that the correct size has been selected. Refer to sizing charts and consider the high-waisted fit which requires a precise measurement. Ensure the garment is laid flat and has fully dried before wearing.
