MAKEMECHIC swim and cover-ups

Bikini sets are the largest single line MAKEMECHIC makes, in polka dot, stripe, floral and gingham, with a swim-short option on many. Behind them, a hundred crochet and mesh cover-ups, tankinis and a few one-pieces.

MAKEMECHIC swimsuit

Swim is where the colourway count runs highest: the polka-dot bikini alone comes in more than twenty. Halter neck is the default tie, and the card says when a set is strapless or a triangle instead, because the tie decides what it does when you swim rather than sit. A bikini set with swim shorts is a different purchase from a thong set, and both are on this shelf under their own names. The cover-ups are mostly crochet, which means the holes are the point and the card does not call them sheer as if it were a fault. Sizes on swim run from XXS to XL with a plus run on the cover-ups; a set is sized as one, so the top and the bottom share a letter.

Questions about MAKEMECHIC swim and cover-ups

What people want settled before they buy a swimsuit.

Does your MAKEMECHIC bikini set arrive as a top and a bottom together?

Yes, as one piece at one price, in one size letter for both halves. The sets with swim shorts are a top and a short together, and the three-piece sets add a sarong or a cover. A top on its own is not sold here.

How sheer are your MAKEMECHIC crochet cover-ups when wet?

A crochet cover-up is open by design, wet or dry: the holes are the point, and it is meant to go over a swimsuit rather than replace one. The mesh cover-ups are sheerer still. Neither is lined, and the card names the fabric so nobody buys a cover-up expecting a dress.

Which MAKEMECHIC swimsuit should you size up in?

The triangle and string sets, which have the least fabric and the most to hold, and any set where your hip measurement lands at the top of a letter. The high-waisted bottoms and the tankinis are the forgiving end of the rail. The chart on the buying page is in inches, and the hip is the number to trust.
