FAQs

Is this top suitable for active swimming?

Yes, it is designed for beach and pool use, though the adjustable straps should be secured firmly for more active swimming.

Does the top provide underwire support?

The Lara Tankini focuses on a ruched silhouette and a twist-front design rather than internal underwire, providing a soft, smoothing support.

How do I choose the right size?

The sizes provided are UK dress sizes. It is recommended to select your standard dress size for the most accurate fit.

Can I tumble dry this tankini?

No, you should never tumble dry this item as it will damage the fabric's elasticity. Always air dry in the shade.

Does the red color fade in chlorine?

While the fabric is high quality, chlorine can cause fading over time; always rinse the garment with fresh water immediately after use to prolong its life.

Troubleshooting

Straps slipping during movement

Adjust the buckles to shorten the strap length and ensure the tension is balanced on both shoulders.

Fabric appearing stretched after use

Rinse thoroughly to remove salt or chlorine, which can degrade elastane, and always dry flat to avoid gravity-induced stretching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Phase Eight Lara Tankini Top remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Compatibility: This item is designed as a top. Pair it with solid red or complementary colored bikini bottoms from the Phase Eight range for a cohesive look.
  2. Fitting: Adjust the straps before entering the water to ensure the bust support is properly positioned.
  3. Care Instructions: To preserve the fabric integrity and color vibrancy, always rinse the top in cool, fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Hand wash in mild detergent and lay flat to dry in the shade to prevent fading and damage to the elastic components.
