Design & support details
Performance Fabric & Construction
We built the calia womens swim seamed bikini top with high-performance fabric engineered specifically for chlorinated water exposure. The nylon-spandex blend resists fading and stretching, maintaining its original fit through countless pool sessions and beach days.
The seamed construction isn’t just about aesthetics—each seam is strategically placed to provide structural support where you need it most. This design approach creates natural lift and shaping without restrictive underwires or uncomfortable padding. The same attention to detail that goes into our complete swimwear collection ensures every piece performs as beautifully as it looks.
Fit & Sizing Guide
This bikini top runs true to standard swim sizing, with adjustable straps that accommodate varying torso lengths. We recommend selecting your usual swimwear size for the best fit. The band offers moderate stretch to move with you while maintaining supportive tension.
For bust sizes between standard measurements, consider sizing up if you prefer more coverage or down for a closer fit with the removable cups in place. The adjustable straps provide approximately three inches of length modification, allowing you to dial in your ideal strap position.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse your bikini top in cool fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine, salt, and sunscreen residue. This simple step dramatically extends the life of the performance fabric and maintains color vibrancy.
Hand wash with mild detergent when needed, avoiding harsh chemicals or bleach. Never wring or twist the fabric—instead, gently press out excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Machine washing and tumble drying will degrade the elastic fibers and reduce the garment’s supportive properties.
