The retro bustier swimsuit

The house swimsuit: a sculpted, underwired bustier cup, a retro high line at the leg, in cream, black and red, with a version embroidered with roses and the 3D flower version with a fabric rose at the bust. It is the swimsuit that wears as a top with a skirt at lunch.

The sculptural rose bustier swimsuit

The signature piece: the bustier line with a sculptural rose at the bust, in red, cream and black. One rose, worn with the crochet bucket hat and the crochet mules.

The two-pieces

The retro bustier swim top in cream, black and red with the string tie bottom, the tie-side bottom, the ruched asymmetric bottom and the draped bottom with a ring detail, mixed by colour.

The cover-ups

The asymmetrical draped swim skirt, the side-tie beach skirt, the beach dresses and the striped culotte trousers in lyocell and silk: the pieces from the pool to the table. The crochet page adds the hats and the bandana.

Sizing

The swim pieces run EU 32 to 42, listed as UK 4 to 14 at Coveti; the brand states a regular fit and does not tell customers to size up, so take your dress size. The size guide converts.

Care

Rinse in cold fresh water after every swim, hand wash with a mild detergent, dry flat in the shade and keep the swimsuits away from rough surfaces; the fabric roses are sewn on and should be reshaped by hand when damp.
