FAQs
Is the material stretchy?
The tankini is crafted from high-quality polyester. While it offers a structured, flattering fit, it has a more tailored feel compared to ultra-stretchy synthetic blends.
How should I clean the gold hardware?
Do not soak the hardware in chemicals. Simply rinse with fresh water and wipe dry with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
Can I machine wash this top?
We recommend hand washing to preserve the delicate broderie detail and the finish on the gold hardware.
Does this top provide good bust support?
The sweetheart neckline and twist detail offer a secure fit, though it does not contain integrated underwire for heavy support.
What is the best way to store the tankini?
Store it lying flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for long periods to prevent the straps from stretching out.
Troubleshooting
Gold hardware appearing dull
Gently wipe the hardware with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after every wash to remove salt and mineral residue.
Fabric snags from pool edges
Avoid sitting directly on rough surfaces; always use a towel as a protective layer between your swimwear and textured surfaces.
Fit feels too loose after submersion
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly before entering the water; polyester holds water slightly differently than nylon blends, so a snug initial fit is preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Phase Eight tankini, rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove chlorine or saltwater. Always hand wash the garment using a mild detergent designed for swimwear; do not use harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material and tarnish the gold hardware. When drying, lay the top flat in the shade to prevent the white fabric from yellowing or the elastic from becoming brittle under direct sunlight. This garment is best paired with solid-colored coordinates in the same white shade to ensure a cohesive look.
