Modest Mermaid FAQs

How do I find the right size in Modest Mermaid swimwear?

Finding your perfect fit is easy as Modest Mermaid's sizing is based on standard Australian women's clothing sizes. For the most accurate result, consult the detailed size guide available on each product page before ordering. If you find you are between two sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

What are the benefits of the SPF50+ swim fabric?

The SPF50+ rating on your swimwear offers the highest level of sun protection available for fabrics, which is ideal for the strong Australian sun. This specially designed material effectively blocks up to 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin. This allows you to enjoy your time at the beach or pool with greater confidence and peace of mind.

What should I wear underneath a swim dress or top?

Most Modest Mermaid swim tops and dresses do not include built-in bust support, giving you the freedom to choose your own level of comfort. You can wear your favourite swim-safe or sports bra underneath for a personalised and supportive fit. For a seamless look, the brand also offers specially designed bikini crop tops and swim bottoms that are made to be worn as a base layer.

How do I care for my modest swimwear?

To keep your swimwear in great condition, always rinse it in fresh, cold water immediately after use to remove any chlorine or salt. Gently hand wash your garment in cold water with a mild detergent, and avoid using harsh chemicals or fabric softeners. To preserve the fabric's elasticity and vibrant colour, roll it in a towel to remove excess water and let it dry flat in the shade.
