Sizing Information
Please measure your hips before ordering. Refer to the size chart below to find your ideal fit. Remember that fit may vary depending on the specific construction, materials, and how you prefer your lace-up to be tensioned.
| Size | Hips (cm) | Hips (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| XS-L | 88-103 cm | 34.6-40.6″ |
| XL-4XL | 108-118 cm | 42.5-46.5″ |
How to Measure
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and measure around the fullest part of your hips (approximately 7-8 inches below your natural waist). Keep the measuring tape parallel to the ground and snug (but not tight) against your body. Compare your measurement to the size chart to determine your ideal size.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the integrity and beauty of your gothic swim piece:
- Rinse After Wear: Always rinse with fresh water after swimming or wearing to remove chlorine, salt, and other residues
- Hand Wash: Machine washing may damage the lace-up eyelets; hand wash with cold water and mild detergent instead
- Air Dry: Lay flat to dry or hang in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight which can fade the matte black finish
- Store Carefully: Keep away from sharp objects that might snag the knit fabric; store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid Excessive Heat: Do not use a dryer; heat can compromise the fabric’s elasticity and finish

Gothic Fashion: A Cultural Statement
Gothic fashion emerged from the punk and post-punk movements of the late 1970s and has evolved into a sophisticated subculture celebrating darkness, individuality, and artistic expression. By wearing gothic swimwear like this lace-up design, you’re participating in a rich tradition of aesthetic rebellion—one that honors both historical romanticism and contemporary edge. This piece bridges the gap between intimate apparel, performance wear, and a lifestyle choice that refuses to conform.
