TOP STYLES
We offer four bikini top styles for our bikini's and figure suits:
- Diva Top (Super Push-Up)
- Sweetheart Molded Top (Push-Up)
- Triangle Slider Top (No Push-Up)
- Plunge Top (Mid-Cover Push up)
Select the top style that will compliment your body and purchase your bikini with your stage weight in mind. If you are in between two sizes, select the smaller size as you are likely to drop top sizes as your competition date approaches. If you are close to your stage weight, choose the bigger size.
Coverage of top sizes also depend on how revealing you want your bikini to be.
1. DIVA TOP - PUSH UP
Our Diva Top is our most popular cup. Diva Tops are currently in high demand as they are popular at competitions in European countries. This style is more suited to competitors with natural breasts. These bra shaped cups are padded for push up effect. Our sizes run small. We have this style available in European cup sizes A-E.
We do not recommend Diva cups with figure suits due to poor bust support and possible gaping from the chest.
2. SWEETHEART MOLDED TOP (Push-Up)
The Sweetheart Molded Cup is made from a fixed shape and curved foam cups with a push up padding. It comes with built-in pockets for -if required-extra padding.
Molded Cups are very conformable to wear and provide lots of support for both natural and enhanced breasts.
Choose a slightly smaller size for a more revealing and sexy effect or choose a bigger size for more coverage.
3. TRIANGLE SLIDER TOP (No Push-Up)
These triangle tops are designed to slide along a draw string. This allows more flexibility in the size and coverage of the top. This style is suited to competitors with both natural and enhanced breasts. The coverage level and shape of the cup can be adjusted at the base of the cup to achieve your preferred size. The space between the cups can be easily adjusted.
4. PLUNGE TOP – (Mid-Cover Plunge Push up)
.
Our Plunge Top is made from a fixed shape and curved foam cups with a push up padding. The Plunge Top is more revealing.
We do not recommend Plunge cups with figure suits due to poor bust support and possible gaping from the chest.
BIKINI BRIEFS
Hip measurement
For the right size of your brief we require your hip measurement. Take your hip measurement on your high hip which is on your underwear line (not around your glutes or widest part).
If you happen to be in between two sizes then please select the smaller sizer as you are likely to drop size as your competition date approaches.
Contact us if you have any scarring, excessive skin or anything else that you want to cover.
If you need assistance with finding your size or if you have any other additional questions regarding our sizing or style please email us.
FIGURE SUIT & CROSS-BACK SUIT
Our figure suits come with a high V-shape and back on the briefs. These suits are designed to sit high on the hip. The straps are adjustable and criss-cross on the back, which clips onto the brief. The straps are adjustable.
Our figure suits have no scrunch bottom. If requested, we can make your figure suit with a scrunch bottom.
FITTING
When you first try on your bikini it should be small.
If you have never worn a competition bikini, don’t be shocked by the briefness of a competition bikini. Your bikini brief will be smaller than your regular underwear as it is designed to show off your glutes.
The bikini will fit better once you have adjusted the straps of your top and the back straps.
Heavily embellished bikinis are sometimes more difficult to put on as lace and stones can reduce the stretch in fabrics. It is advised to put your bikini on slowly, one leg at a time.
