Sizing

When shopping for a bikini, there are several important factors to consider to find the perfect bikini that suits your style, body, and needs.

First and foremost, always try the bikini on before buying if you can. You want to have a bikini that is close-fitting but not too tight, as it will slightly expand when it gets wet. This is due to the fabric becoming soggy from the water. Ensuring a proper fit is essential, so the bikini doesn't become saggy or unflattering.

Confidence is another major factor to pay attention to when choosing a bikini. You'll know when a bikini is right when it's love at first sight! You want to look in the mirror and feel confident and happy in it. A good bikini should make you feel awesome and embody that feeling of empowerment. Rule the beach!

Comfort and mobility with your bikini are key. You want to ensure that the bikini provides freedom of movement and feels comfortable against your skin. Comfort is important because you want to forget you're even wearing a swimsuit and be able to enjoy your time without fussing with it.

Lastly, consider the activities you'll be doing in your bikini. If you plan to tan, a string bikini may be suitable. However, if you'll be engaging in activities like surfing or swimming, you'll want a bikini that provides more coverage and support. Think about your body type and the level of coverage and support that will make you most comfortable while doing your thing.

By considering these factors you can make an informed decision when shopping for a bikini. Our goal is to help you find the perfect bikini that not only flatters your body but also makes you feel confident and comfortable.

At Pavo Couture, we want to ensure that you find the perfect fit and feel confident in our bikinis.

Start by knowing your true size. You can measure yourself if you are in doubt. Next, refer to our size chart to determine your size based on these measurements. Our size chart provides specific guidelines to help you find the best fit. Our bikini's do not have cup sizes. Instead, we offer sizes ranging from XS to XL. To determine the right size for you, we provide the following size table based on the Pavo Couture EU sizing:

  • XS: 32/34
  • S: 34/36
  • M: 36/38
  • L: 40
  • XL: 42+

Understanding your body type can guide you in selecting the right bikini size and style. Our range includes options suitable for different body shapes and sizes. For example, if you have a larger bust, we suggest taking a look at the Iris bikini. If you prefer a bikini bottom with more coverage, take a look at our Ivy bikini and bottom.

Many of our bikinis come with adjustable features such as ties, straps, or closures. These allow for a personalized fit, accommodating variations in body shape and providing flexibility for adjustments based on your preferences for a bikini.

If you have any questions or uncertainties about sizing, our dedicated customer support team is here to assist you. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for personalized guidance and assistance. We're happy to help you find the right bikini size and style for you.

When it comes to finding the best bikini for your body type, there are a few factors to consider. We offer three styles of swimwear: a one-piece, a triangle bikini, and a bikini with a tiefront. At Pavo Couture we can help you determine which bikini type best suits you based on your body shape.

It's important to remember that the most crucial rule of choosing clothes, including bikini's, is to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident! However, understanding your body type can be beneficial in finding a bikini that flatters your figure. Here are some recommendations based on different body types:

  • If you have an hourglass figure with well-defined curves, you can confidently rock any of our bikini styles. The triangle bikini can emphasize your curves and highlight your waistline. The bikini with a tiefront can draw attention to your hourglass shape, accentuating your curves. Consider bold colors, like the blue or green bikini. If you have a hourglass shape where your bust is larger than your hips, you might think about the triangle bikini in brown, as this will balance your proportions.
  • For a bottom hourglass or pear body type, which features a defined waist and wider hips, you can consider bikini's that will enhance your upper body. Our one-piece swimsuit can provide coverage for your lower half while emphasizing your upper body and enhancing your waist. Add volume at the top, for instance with the Ivy tiefront bikini, as this will draw attention upward, creating a more balanced look. Look also for light-colored tops paired, such as the Ivy bikini in blue.
  • If you have an inverted triangle body type with a subtle waist, ample bust and shoulders, and slim hips, you can opt for simple, solid color halter bikini's. Our Iris triangle shape is perfect for you! To create a balanced look, go for a darker color or for our one-piece suits ro achieve an hourglass shape.
  • For a straight body type or an apple body type, where your body is proportional without an accentuated waist, you can consider light-colored bikini's. You may prefer a bikini that offers support and coverage. Our one-piece swimsuit can provide the necessary support and help create a streamlined silhouette. The triangle bikini can also work well, as it draws attention to your upper body.

Ultimately, the goal is to find a bikini that makes you feel confident and comfortable. While our recommendations can serve as a starting point, trust your instincts and wear the bikini that you love. The most important thing is to rule the beach with confidence in your favorite bikini!

No, our bikinis do not come with built-in padding. However, our bikini's are made of high-quality fabric, which provides excellent coverage and support. The fabric is carefully chosen to ensure a comfortable fit and to maintain its shape even when wet. We therefore believe that the quality and thickness of the fabric offer sufficient coverage and shaping without the need for additional padding.

However, if you prefer added volume or shaping, you can easily insert your own padding into the Ivy Bikini top, which is designed with pockets specifically for this purpose.

Care and sustainability

Taking proper care of your bikini is essential to ensure its longevity and keep it looking its best. Here are some tips to help you maintain your favorite bikini:

  1. Rinse your bikini immediately after wearing it: After enjoying a day at the beach or pool, it's important to rinse your bikini right away. Rinse it in cold water to remove sand, saltwater, chlorine, and sunscreen residue. This helps prevent damage, discoloration, and the buildup of harmful substances.
  2. Handwashing: It's best to hand wash your bikini instead of using a washing machine. Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Fill a bucket or sink with cold water, add the detergent, and let your bikini soak for a few minutes. Gently rub the fabric to remove any residue. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water without wringing.
  3. Drying: Avoid hanging your bikini to dry as it can stretch the fabric. Instead, lay it on a flat surface, such as a towel, to dry. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Never put your bikini in the dryer, as the heat can damage the fabric and alter its fit.

By following these care instructions, you can help extend the lifespan of your bikini and keep it looking great for many beach and pool days to come.
