Ocean Blues Blouson Tankini Set with Boyshorts

The hem is the part that makes a blouson: the top flares out from the underbust in an A-line and stops at the hip, so it hangs away from the body instead of clinging to it. An elastic band under the bust holds the top up; the cups are padded, removable and wire-free; the straps knot at the front and adjust at the back with metal sliders. The boyshorts are high-waisted and fully lined.

Sold as a set, top and shorts in the same size, so one letter buys both halves. Sizes run S to 4XL. Nine colourways, from plain black and white to a feather print. Rinse both pieces in cold water after the pool, pull the pads out of the top before it dries, and lay everything flat.

One of 10 on the tankini tops and sets rail in the Ocean Blues collection. It also answers to tankini sets, tummy control swimwear, wire-free swimwear. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
