Aqua Bay Swim Co
PRE-ORDER CLOSED Balconett Lace-up Back One Piece Swimsuit
PRE-ORDER Delivery Early June
In Pre Production Discount Stage 25% Off applied automatically at checkout.
Designed off our original best selling swimsuit the Tina, the New " ---" has a new balconett bust design with three layers of fabrics to support your bust without adding a cup. If you you prefer a cup you can still add your own.
In addition to a new bust design we have double lined the swimsuit to give you even more support where you feel you might want it.
The adjustable lace-up straps allow for maximum adjustability to attain the perfect all day comfortable fit that hugs and supports every curve.
Let's not forget about the ruched tummy and ruched bum with the slightest bit of cheekiness to make your butt look cute too.
What makes us different and why we are not a cheap product.
1) We are made in Canada and pay living wages to the artisans who create our swimsuits.
2) We import the best fabric from Italy, made from recycled materials and it's super resistant to chlorine to ensure your swimsuit lasts for years.
3) We design and fit our styles on our midsize and scale it in both directions to ensure all sizes get a great fit. Traditionally brands design in the smallest size and scale up leaving styles ill fitting in the top end of the size range.
4) We manufacture in very small batches so we don't contribute to waste and so you have a unique style.
5) We don't compromise on fit or style, we want a swimsuit that supports a fuller bust and body and know so many others do as well. If we don't feel supported and love it we don't make it.
Our new Pre-Order model designed to get you the right style, size and color at the right price.
25% off pre-production sales (approximately 2 months in advance)
15% off in production sales (in production stage)
Regular price once the styles have arrive and are in stock.

GARMENT CARE
Remember, size is nothing but a number
Ladies, don’t get hung up on the size or the number. It’s just that a number, I personally can wear a size large to a size 3X depending on the brand and fit. The instant I started to ignore the number and just focussed on how the items fit and felt on my body my life and closet changed, honestly it was a game changer. So follow our fit notes in each product listing and our size guide below, we are here to help you get the best fit possible. If you are unsure of your size (which is most of us), please contact us for a personalized online fitting and let us help you find the right size and style for your unique and beautiful body shape.
Below are the sizing charts for Aqua Bay Swim Co Brand Swimwear and can be used for most of the Womenswear brands we carry unless we state otherwise on the individual product page. If a specific product doesn’t follow the size chart below it will have fit information included on the product page for that item. Also when we reference true to size or size up or down, it’s in reference to this size chart. If in doubt, we are just an email or chat msg away and are always happy to assist with fit and sizing questions.

Determining Cup Size
How, you ask, can one bathing suit accommodate a range of cup sizes? This is because of the smart design concept of the fully adjustable back which allows you to fit to your band measurement. A 36 H and a 40DD can be a same or similar cup/underwire.
Take your bust measurement minus your underbust measurement, then take the difference and refer to the chart below. (Ex 40"-36"= 4" which is D cup)

NOTE - the cup sizes In our size chart are suggested for best fit based on fittings of many many women of all shapes and sizes, however, it has been shown that women have been able to go outside of the suggested cup range by plus or minus one cup size. Also if you have a bust that is not as full or very full, the firm cups can be removed and allow more flexibility for smaller and fuller busts....so don’t fret we have you all covered! You don’t need the cup ladies, these tops are all double lined.
