FAQs
What makes this costume 'Kyra Bandeau'?
The 'Kyra Bandeau' refers to the specific style of the Regatta costume, characterized by its bandeau neckline and supportive features like the tummy control panel and padded cups.
Can I wear this for active swimming?
While it offers a secure fit with the option of straps, the bandeau style is primarily designed for leisure. For high-intensity swimming, a more traditional swimsuit design might offer greater support.
How do I adjust the fit?
The fit can be adjusted through the removable and potentially adjustable straps (depending on the specific design iteration) and the inherent stretch of the fabric.
What does 'tummy control panel' mean?
This is a feature integrated into the costume's lining designed to smooth and shape the abdominal area, providing a more streamlined appearance.
Is this costume eco-friendly?
Yes, it is made from 85% Recycled Polyester and 15% Elastane, making it a more sustainable swimwear choice.
How do I ensure the longest life for my swimsuit?
Follow the care instructions carefully: hand wash in cold water, use mild detergent, do not bleach or tumble dry, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
Are the padded cups removable?
The description mentions 'padded cups', but does not specify if they are removable. It is best to check the product packaging or contact customer service for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Costume feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider the larger size due to the sculpting nature of the tummy panel. Allow the fabric to stretch slightly with wear.
Straps are difficult to attach/remove
Gently align the clasp with the attachment point and apply steady pressure. Avoid forcing the connection. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the clasps.
Color fading after washing
Always wash in cold water with a mild detergent, as per care instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Ensure the costume is rinsed thoroughly after use in chlorinated or saltwater.
