Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Shell Bay Gathered Full Cup Bikini Top is designed for adult females seeking a stylish and supportive swimwear option for poolside and beach activities. Its key benefit is providing fuller coverage and a flattering silhouette for various bust shapes, thanks to its gathered cups and concealed side sling. A potential consideration is that while the hammered gold-effect ring detail is aesthetically pleasing, it's important to ensure it remains clean for optimal appearance.

FAQs
What material is the Fantasie Shell Bay bikini top made from?
The bikini top is primarily made from polyester.
Does this bikini top come with matching bottoms?
No, this is a bikini top only and requires a separate purchase of matching or coordinating bottoms.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to both band and cup measurements. Professional fitting is also recommended for swimwear.
Is the gold-effect ring detail safe for sun exposure?
The ring detail is designed not to heat up in the sun, but it's always wise to be aware of any metal accessories in direct, prolonged heat.
Can I machine wash this bikini top?
It is recommended to hand wash the bikini top to preserve its shape and fabric integrity. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What does 'gathered cups' mean for the fit?
Gathered cups mean the fabric is ruched or pleated, which helps to create a flexible and flattering fit that can accommodate slight variations in shape and size.
What is the purpose of the concealed side sling?
The concealed side sling is an inner panel designed to provide extra support and help project the bust forward for a smoother, more rounded silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a more comfortable tension. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your back and not too high or too low.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size and cup. The underwire should cup the breast tissue without digging into it. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable.
Color fading after washing
Always rinse swimwear immediately after use. Hand wash with mild detergent in cold water and dry flat in the shade. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying.
Loss of elasticity
Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat (like tumble drying or hot tubs) and stretching the fabric excessively during washing. Proper care will help maintain elasticity.

Care Instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the bikini top thoroughly in cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sunscreen residues.
- Hand Wash: Gently hand wash the garment using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the fibers and shape.
- Dry Flat: Reshape the bikini top and lay it flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the material.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of where you sit or place the bikini top to prevent snagging or pilling.
