Meet your new go-to swim bottoms! Designed with a super high waist and a secure, comfortable waistband, these bottoms give you the coverage you want with a playful twist. The flattering high cut around the outer thigh elongates your legs, while still offering excellent coverage around the front and bikini line.

These beauties are similar to our regular Ruched & High-Waisted Bottoms but with a little extra flair. The higher cut around the outer thigh adds a leg-lengthening effect, while the slightly skimpier bum keeps things fun yet modest. They're perfect for women who hold weight around the thigh and bum areas, as they won’t dig in or cut through the thigh—just smooth, flattering lines all around.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool or diving into the waves, these swim bottoms are ready for fun—wherever your summer takes you!

*Please note that the sizes displayed on our website are in Australian Women sizing.

Not too high just perfect

Good for larger thighs and short legs just like the video ! High cut oranges sit nicely don’t ride up look nice with my pale skin and probably even better if I got a bit of colour.

Nice quality.

A bit high for my short-waisted body. I'm going to roll the waist over on itself to adjust the fit. I hope to get plenty of wear out of these during Summer. Good value on sale.

Hi Cecily, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you like the quality. Enjoy your summer wear!

Great cut and vibrant colour

These fit so well and are such a flattering cut. Size 16 is an accurate sizing. The colour is spot on and beautifully vibrant. Will go perfectly with a few other top options too.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear you love the fit and vibrant colour of the High Cut Bottoms. Enjoy styling them with your tops!

Totally LOVE this bottom!!

I’ve looked at Skylight many times but couldn’t go past it at this sale price!!! And I’m soooo glad I did! It’s just beautiful- totally jazzed up the tops I already own. But honestly- I get great joy out of laying all my Sheila May out on my bed and mixing and matching - so actually wearing it will be a blast!!! I’m super happy I sized down this time - a great fit. Just waiting for some warmer weather 😉

Hi Rochelle, we're so happy to hear you love the Skylight bottoms! It sounds like they're a perfect match for your style. Enjoy mixing and matching, and we hope the warmer weather arrives soon! Thanks for sharing your joy with us.

Bit sad

The sizing of the bikini top is way off, looks more like a top for a boobless teen. Also the item is overpriced for what you get.

Hi Elske, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the sizing didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will consider them for future improvements.

About the swimsuit

Ive ordered your swimsuit and couldnt wait to arrive! Bought it on sale as last items for such a good price. Got confused about Australian sizes/ European sizes and by mistake ordered rwo sizes bigger! ALL in all it fits great after my seamstress Made it smaller. I am heavy chested and would like top to have a bit more support like sports bra if possible. Best regards, Xenia

Hi Xenia, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad the swimsuit fits well after adjustments. We'll keep your feedback about added support in mind for future designs. Enjoy your swimwear!

Absolutely love these bikini bottoms. Great coverage in all the right places. Def size down if in doubt I’m usually erring on 14 but 12 perfect in high cut. Thank you for designing something for us bigger bottomed gals!

I love these swimwear high waist bottoms, although they are so oversized I have had to down size 2 size and still needed to have crutch shortened

Hi Lyn, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you love the high waist style, though sorry to hear about the sizing issues. We'll take your comments into account for future designs. If you need any assistance, feel free to reach out!

US citizens not advised to order from Australia unless you are 100% certain of size and fit.

I asked about sizing before ordering and my bottoms were unfortunately loose and saggy around my butt. The waist fit fine and fabric color and quality were great. The cost to return my order would have been $65. I chose to keep items in hopes one of my friends might be able to wear them.

Hi Joann, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you liked the fabric and color, but we’re sorry to hear about the sizing issues. We appreciate your understanding and hope your friends enjoy the bottoms. If you need any assistance in the future, please reach out!

We hope you have the most amazing Kimberley adventure Nicole. So glad you’re feeling covered, confident and ready to show off your new swimmers.

Love them

Love these swimmer bottoms the colour is wonderful. I like the high cut bottoms and how they fit. For sizing reference I’m a 10/12 and got the 10 as per admins feedback. The fit perfectly and snug in all the right places. I also have the ruched bottoms and they feel a little looser than these.

Thank you for sharing this Mish. We are so glad you love the fit and colour, and that the size 10 worked perfectly for you.

Love the high cut and high coverage on my belly. Wish the elastic was a little tighter on the bottom but overall very happy and get lots of comments on my swimwear this season :)

We really appreciate this feedback Steph — thank you! We’re glad you’re loving the coverage and still feeling happy (and complimented!) in your swimmers.

Flattering

Love them. I’ve bought high waisted before and these are amazing! Really high, full coverage on the belly. Very flattering. I’m curvier around the bottom so I get a cheekier cut with these, but still love them. I’m a 12/14 bottoms and went the 12. They are pretty stretchy, so could have sized down for a firmer fit around the waist but I think they would have been too skimpy on the butt then. Love them will get more.

Thank you for such a detailed and helpful review Michelle! We love how thoughtfully you’ve described the fit — it’s so useful for others choosing their size. So glad you’re feeling confident and comfy in them.

Tammy Lavers
High cut Petal bottoms.

I received my lovely Petal bather bottoms, which were size 20, my usual size in clothing. Absolutely love the colour and fabric, but in hindsight, I should have down sized to 18 to get a firmer fit around the cheeks. I couldn't wait to use them in the backyard pool, so no returns. The tops are true for size though, so order the size you usually take.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you’re loving your Sheila May pieces and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience Tammy.
