Designed to pair seamlessly with our Signature Full Cup or Halter Bikini Top these black mid rise bikini bottoms are crafted to deliver a flattering, secure fit with refined simplicity.

Cut to sit comfortably on the hips, the mid rise silhouette offers balanced coverage and a smooth, sculpted shape—designed to complement and support your natural lines without distraction.

Engineered from our premium recycled Italian swim fabric, they hold their shape beautifully while offering a soft, second-skin feel that moves effortlessly with you.

Every piece is designed to work in harmony with our Core Swim system. These bikini bottoms are fully lined for added stability and crafted to maintain structure, comfort, and confidence both in and out of the water.

Clean, minimal, and considered—this is swimwear designed to feel as good as it looks, season after season.

Fit Notes

Designed for a flattering mid rise fit with medium coverage.
This style runs slightly small—if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for the most comfortable and flattering fit.

The key to your bikini doing what it has been designed to do is the fit. If it doesn't fit you properly, it won't support you properly.

The Core Bikini Top:

1. Back size:

The Core bikini top has been designed to be as close as possible to your bra size so you should order your standard back bra size (e.g. 36). Please note that the Core bikini has been designed to fit snuggly on your back size. We do not mean tight (that would be uncomfortable) but we do mean snug. The reason for this is:

1. A lot of the support from the bikini (and your every day bra) comes from the back. If the back is too big, you will lose support

2. Although the Core Swim bikini is fully lined (including the wings) to minimise stretch and maximise support when wet, we want you to be just as confident in your wet bikini as your dry bikini so we've designed it snug (again not tight!) so there is no need for those public adjustments when you get out of the pool.

Advice: If your bikini arrives and the back is not snug, consider a smaller size as you may get a better support. If it is too tight, please consider the next size up.

Note that if you size your back size up or down, you will also need to change your cup size to reflect this (it's called "sister sizing", see below).

2. Bikini cup size:

This is a sister sizing bra size chart and shows you the size you need to adjust to depending on the individual fit issue. For example, if you had a 36FF and the back was too tight but the cup fit, you would go up a back size and down a cup size to a 38F. Or, if the 36FF was too big on the back but fine in the cup, you would go down a back size and up a cup size to a 34G (see black arrows):

If the back fit you perfectly but the cup feels big then just go down a cup size to a 36F. Or, if the cup is not covering you as much as you would like or there is bulging, then go up a cup size to a 36G (see the red arrows).
