MINIMAL CROP
Size & fit guide
The Minimal Crop Bikini is a minimal cut that fits seamlessly to your body. Our second-skin look and feel creates an elegant and premium finish like no other. We have constructed our seams to be concealed. This ensures that there is no stitching rubbing against your skin, which gives you extra comfort especially around your ribcage and side of your breasts. Our ultra-thin straps allow for minimal tan lines. They are tight and thin to give your bust an elegant lift that accentuates the shape of your breasts. 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.If you want to see our Minimal Crop Bikini on your body type to see how it fits, please select one of the models below.

YOU'VE CHOSEN MODEL A
Minimal Crop (Small) and String Brazillans (X-Small)
WHO IT SUITS:
We choose not to use padding as it becomes sodden and slow to dry, making it uncomfortable for all day wear. Our swimwear is fully lined and isn't see-through, but if you prefer the padded look this style may not be for you.
TRYING IT ON:
The coverage you get on the first wear will be its coverage for life. Designed to just skim your nipple, as reflected in our campaign imagery.
When trying it on for the first time, it should feel extremely tight around your bust and over your shoulders. The straps are likely to be very short and feel under tension when worn. This may result in a slightly exposed under bust and a temporary double-boob. The tight fit on first wear is expected and means that you have the right size.
After you've worn it wet for the first few times, the straps will stretch up to 2 inches if they are under tension, allowing the crop to sit lower on your upper body. The crop seams will gradually loosen and remove the double-boob effect, and instead give you a shelf like support. Going through this process is worth it as the swim will mould to your body like a second-skin.
If you have existing 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.
If you're unsure about the fit and style, try it on a second time the next day.
