FAQs

What is the main benefit of the racer back design?

The racer back design provides excellent freedom of movement for your arms and shoulders, making it ideal for swimming and active water sports.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Karen Millen sizing chart provided by the retailer. It's recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart. The stretch fabric should offer a comfortable fit when the correct size is chosen.

Can the front zip be worn open?

Yes, the gold-tone zip is functional and can be worn partially open for a different style, or fully zipped for a higher neckline and secure fit.

What type of occasions is this swimsuit suitable for?

This swimsuit is suitable for a variety of occasions, including resort getaways, lounging by the pool or beach, swimming laps, and general beach excursions.

How should I care for the gold-tone zip detail?

Rinse the swimsuit after each use. When washing, use mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the zip is free of debris and consider a gentle lubricant if it becomes stiff. Avoid machine washing or drying which can damage the finish.

Does the contrast paneling offer any specific benefits?

Yes, the contrast side panels are designed to create a flattering silhouette, visually sculpting your figure and enhancing your natural shape.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. If it's a new item, the fabric may need a few wears to stretch slightly to your body shape. Avoid excessive stretching when trying on.

Gold-tone zip is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it remains stiff, you can try applying a tiny amount of petroleum jelly or a silicone-based lubricant specifically to the teeth of the zip. Rinse thoroughly after applying. Ensure no sand or debris is caught in the zip mechanism.

Colors fading or fabric losing shape.

This can be due to improper washing or drying. Always hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and dry flat in the shade. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, prolonged direct sunlight, and machine washing/drying.
