RUCHED

Size & fit guide

The Ruched Bikini is a detail rich version of the classic Tie Side. Unique to us, it has that second-skin look and feel due our signature soft fabric and seamless finish. The layered fabrics and folds, really highlight Ark Swimwear’s buttery soft fabrics, more than any of our other cuts. We have constructed our seams to be concealed. This ensures there is no stitching rubbing against your skin, which is essential for all-day comfort especially around the hips and booty. Our fabrics are treated with colour fastness, anti-yellowing and UV protection to prolong and enhance their lifecycle. Our extremely soft fabric will mould to your body for a second-skin look and feel.

We do premium, timeless swimwear.

YOU'VE CHOSEN MODEL A

Minimal Bandeau (Small) and Ruched (X-Small)

WHO IT SUITS:

Our Ruched Bikini is a subtle statement piece.

If you like to play around with different looks, you’ll enjoy the versatility of our Ruched.

If you’ve wanted to try different coverages of bottom, this is a great way to have it all in one.

TRYING IT ON:

The strings and adjustable back give you flexibility to choose a coverage and style that you prefer. The front of the bikini is fixed to keep you covered – but the back can be scrunched up for skimpy coverage or stretched out for more modest coverage.

When you try your bikini on, play with the strings to find a style and fit that you love. It may take you a few goes to find what’s best for your body – explore how the bikini feels tight, loose, high and low on your body.

To achieve a narrower look, position the bows slightly towards your front. Alternatively, if you want to accentuate the width of your hips, position the ties on the outside of your hip.

After you’ve worn it wet for the first time, tighten the straps as the fabric will loosen slightly.

If you have tan lines, picture yourself evenly tanned when trying the bikini on. This will help you feel less exposed and have a more accurate fitting experience.
