Color-Block Swim Set: Fit the Top and High Waist Separately

Use S–XL bust, top length and waist values to check the wire-free padded top and high-waist bottom; hip coverage remains unknown.

The color-block two-piece swim set lists a wire-free top with removable padding and a high-waist bottom. It gives bust, top length and waist measurements by size, but no bottom hip or rise. Check the top’s coverage and the bottom’s placement as two separate tasks; one selected size must still work for both pieces.

Start with the top, pads in and out

S lists 28.1 in bust and 5.9 in top length; M 29.6 and 6.2; L 32 and 6.6; XL 34.3 and 7. On a swim top you own, measure the front coverage length from the same point the seller uses, then request that point and a current inside photo showing how the pads are removed. Removable padding does not tell you cup depth, support or whether straps adjust. The absence of underwire is explicit, but no support test is supplied.

Place the high waistband before choosing

The listed waist moves from 24.2 in at S to 30.4 at XL; M is 25.7 and L 28.1. Measure your own high-waist swim bottom at the height you prefer and ask whether these numbers describe a relaxed garment or recommended body measurement. Request bottom hip, rise and leg-opening dimensions in the same sizes. Without those, the waist column cannot establish bottom coverage or fit.

Check the selected color and two fabrics

The outer self is listed as 82% nylon and 18% spandex, while the lining is 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Both are described as highly stretchy, without a recovery measurement. Ask for a photo of the exact selected color block front and back; the selector lists several colors but the product text does not map panel placement by color. Use the answers to choose a size that meets both top and bottom checks.
