Introduction
Finding swimwear that stays in place can be a challenge when standard small, medium, and large sizes do not provide enough detail. If you have ever dealt with straps digging in or cups that do not provide enough lift, switching to bra-sized swimwear is a practical solution. Panache is known for using specific band and cup measurements to help you find a more accurate fit for your body. At Outlet Bikini, we want to help you navigate these sizing options so you can choose your next look with certainty.
Understanding UK Bra Sizing in Swimwear
Panache uses UK sizing for its Bikini Sets and other tops. This is different from standard US sizing, especially once you move past a D cup. In the UK system, the cup sizes progress as D, DD, E, F, FF, G, and so on. If you usually buy US-sized bras, you might need to convert your size to ensure the cups hold your bust securely without spilling over the edges.
The band measurement is also vital for lift. A secure band does most of the work, allowing the straps to rest lightly on your shoulders. When browsing our Summer Collection, remember that swim fabric can stretch slightly when wet. Choosing a band size that feels snug but not restrictive on the loosest hook will help the suit last through many swims.
Choosing the Right Bikini Bottom Sizes
While the tops focus on bra measurements, the Bikini Bottom options usually follow UK dress sizes. These typically range from size 6 to size 26. To find your match at Outlet Bikini, you can compare these to US sizes; for example, a UK 10 is often equivalent to a US 6.
If you are looking at a Brazilian Bikini or a high-waisted cut, consider how you want the fabric to sit on your hips. Many women prefer to go up one size in swim bottoms to avoid the fabric pinching. This ensures the leg openings sit flat against your skin for a smooth look. Whether you are looking for a Floral Bikini or a solid color, checking your hip measurements against a size chart will lead to a better result.
Comparing Tankinis and One-Piece Suits
If you want more torso length or a different level of modesty, a Tankini is an excellent alternative to standard Two-Piece Suits. Because they are sold as separates, you can pick a specific bra size for the top and a different size for the bottom. This is helpful for women who find that One-Piece Suits are often too short or too long for their frame.
For those who prefer the classic silhouette of One-Piece Suits, Panache designs include internal wires and adjustable features. This provides the structure of a bra within a full-coverage garment. You can find these options in various prints and solid colors at Outlet Bikini. Once you find your size, you can also look at our Cover-Ups to complete your look for the walk from the water to the car.

FAQ
What is the main difference between UK and US swimsuit sizing? UK sizing, which Panache uses, includes double letters like FF and GG that are not typically found in US sizing. To find your size in Bikini Sets, you should check a conversion chart to see how your US cup size translates to the UK system. This ensures the cups provide the intended shape and lift without being too small or too large.
Should I order my regular bra size for a swimsuit? Your regular bra size is a great starting point for bra-sized swimwear, but remember that swim fabric behaves differently than lingerie. Some shoppers prefer to sister-size by going up one band size and down one cup size if they want a less restrictive feel in the water. It is always helpful to check the specific measurements for the Tankini or top you are considering.
How do I know if my bikini bottoms are the right size? A well-fitting Bikini Bottom should lay flat against your skin without digging into your hips or sagging at the back. If the fabric ripples or feels loose, you may need to size down for a more secure fit during activity. If you are between sizes, choosing the larger option often provides a more comfortable experience for all-day wear.
How long does it take to receive an order from Outlet Bikini? We offer shipping to the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe with a typical delivery window of 7 to 30 days.
