FAQs

For your perfect fit we recommend taking your measurements and referring to the chart above.

Alternatively, you can compare to your regular dress size however keep in mind that sizing can differ between brands. Our sizing is slightly generous, so we do recommend sizing down if you are between sizes.

If the size you have measured at doesn't correspond to your "usual" dress size, please reach out to us via email for assistance.

Please note that our sizing chart is in Australian Women sizing. 

Use the size and measurement charts together above to find your best fit!

Our swimmers offer an innovative built-in shelf bra. We’ve said goodbye to annoying removable bra pads and have replaced them with sewn-in bra cups! Our shelf-bra offers comfort, support and a discreet lining to keep you looking your best even when you get a little cold!

The amount of support each swim top offers varies between styles. Here is a handy list to refer to, top styles are listed from most supportive to least supportive:

Racer Back Top
Snap It Up Top
Embrace Top
Shoulder Tie Top
Swing Top
Sun Kissed Rashie

Feel free to visit our Up Close & Personal page for all the details on our top and bottom styles.

We recommend sticking with your pre-pregnancy size when purchasing Maternity Bottoms. As all pregnancies are unique and individual, our Maternity Bottoms are designed to cater for a normal pregnancy weight gain range. Although it can be tempting to order a size up, only do so if you feel you have gained a lot of weight or are having twins.

Caring for your swimmers

Please visit our Fabric Care page to find out how to care for your swimwear!

Sustainability is important to us. That’s why we have selected a beautifully thick and supportive European swimwear fabric that is made from discarded, recycled fishing nets!


Fabric is 78% recycled nylon / 22% Lycra.


Our fabric is resistant to sunscreen and oils, has great shape retention, offers UVA & UVB 50+ protection and is soft and breathable! In short...it's divine!

Restocks and pre-orders

We love change! Our unique mix 'n match philosophy is: more variety and more opportunity for amazing mix 'n match combinations.

Once a particular colour sells out, we are unlikely to restock so that we can make way for exciting new designs! But you never know...sometimes we just love a colour so much that we might decide to do a sneaky restock.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram where we will share news of restocks as they (might!) happen.

Basically, if you love something - get it now because it might not make a return in the future!

All pre-orders are advertised with estimated dispatch dates. From time to time, this dispatch date will be altered due to reasons beyond our control.

Please be patient with us as we take care to ethically produce and sew your swimmers. Trust us, they are worth the wait!


Please note: if you purchase in-stock and pre-ordered items together, they will be dispatched when ALL items are in stock. If you wish to receive these items separately, please place them as separate orders.
