Fit & Sizing — Measure, Don't Guess
FAE is an Australian label. A FAE Large is a US 8–10. A Vitamin A Large is a US 12–14 — same letter, four US sizes apart.
| Size | US | AUS | Upper Hip | Lower Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium | 4–6 | 10 | 34" | 37" |
| Large | 8–10 | 12 | 36" | 39" |
- Tie sides make this the most forgiving bottom we carry. The Jones has fixed straps; the Birdie adjusts at the hip.
- Between sizes: size UP. Metallic nylon has less give than FAE's ECONYL prints, so this matters more here.
- Adjustable ruching at the back sets coverage from cheeky to full thong.
- Upper hip is the measurement that matters — that's where the ties sit.
Materials
Italian metallic nylon with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, verifying the finished textile has been tested for harmful substances. This colorway is not ECONYL® — FAE's regenerated-nylon program covers their prints and Baby Terry styles, and we name the actual fabric rather than let a brand-level claim cover one that doesn't carry it.
New with tags. Curated, not manufactured to order.
Care
- Rinse in cold fresh water immediately after every wear. Chlorine is the enemy of a metallic finish.
- Hand wash cold, mild detergent only. Never machine wash.
- Press water out gently — never wring. Creasing dulls the finish permanently.
- Dry flat in shade. Store flat, not folded. Avoid hot tubs entirely.
Who It's For
Anyone between sizes — the ties solve it. Anyone building a full gold set. Golden-hour wear rather than all-day pool.
Who It's Not For
Daily chlorine swimmers — metallics don't survive lap pools. Anyone wanting full rear coverage. Anyone above a US 10. Anyone seeking recycled fibre; choose Hibiscus or Lilac instead.
