Frequently Asked Questions
*Please allow 1-3 weeks for processing & shipping your order. As a small team hand sewing each bikini, we are working very hard to get your product out to you. The custom fit adds a new element that we think is very important, but may take a bit longer to apply!

How does custom sizing work?
We have realized there are huge flaws in the pre-set sizes of the world, and have decided to work to change that. We want every customer to have the best fit possible! By giving us your accurate band and hip measurements, you hand us the ability to make something that will fit your body without pinching, squeezing, or interrupting your range of motion. Your girls will stay in place, and your booty will stay covered throughout ALL activities you choose to do in your bikini. We want to change the way the world sees size and fit! And for now, this is a good place to start.
Band Measurement
Measure around your body, just below your bust with a flexible tape measure. This is generally different from the number in your bra size! If you don't have a tape measure handy, use a piece of string and a ruler.
Hip Measurement
Measure around your body at the widest part of your hips where a bikini would sit, with a flexible tape measure. If you don't have a tape measure handy, use a piece of string and a ruler.
When will new colors be available?
As a small business we sew everything in small batches, and have limited releases of different colors and patterns. Keep up to date on what we have in stock by following our instagram, @barenativewear and liking our facebook page!
When will new styles and designs be available?
We are working hard to jump right in to the fast paced world of swimwear, and hope to release several new styles, designs, or cuts per season.

Bikini Care
Rinse bikini in room temperature water after every use to keep fabric fresh and clean from the natural damages of salt and chlorine. This will elongate the life of your bikini and keep it from losing elasticity. Always hang to dry.
