FAQs
How do I adjust the multiway straps?
The straps can typically be detached and reattached at various points on the bikini top. Consult the product's hang tag or the brand's website for specific diagrams on how to configure the straps for halter, cross-back, or strapless wear.
Can I machine wash this bikini top?
No, this bikini top is strictly 'Hand Wash Only'. Machine washing can damage the delicate fabric, underwire, and strap mechanisms.
What is the material composition?
The main fabric is composed of 82% Polyester and 18% Extra Life Lycra. The lining is 93% Polyamide and 7% Elastane.
Is this bikini top suitable for swimming?
Yes, the underwired cups and multiway straps provide good support for swimming. However, for vigorous water sports, utilizing the strap options for maximum security is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to Curvy Kate's official size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the band fits snugly but comfortably, and the cups fully encompass the bust without gaping or spillage.
Can the straps be removed completely?
Yes, the multiway straps are designed to be detachable, allowing you to wear the top as a completely strapless bandeau for tanning purposes.
What does 'Extra Life Lycra' mean?
Extra Life Lycra is a type of Lycra that offers enhanced durability and resistance to chlorine, heat, and UV rays compared to standard Lycra, helping swimwear retain its shape and color for longer.
Troubleshooting
Bikini top does not feel secure
Ensure all straps are properly adjusted. Try different multiway strap configurations (halter, cross-back) for optimal support. Check that the band is sitting correctly around your ribcage.
Strap attachments feel loose or worn
Inspect the attachment points for any signs of damage. If the fabric is stretched or the attachment is frayed, consider replacing the garment. Ensure proper care to prevent premature wear.
Color fading or material losing elasticity
This can occur with improper care. Always hand wash in cool water, rinse thoroughly, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry.
