The word Mèlange comes from the French language, meaning to mix, a mixture, a combination, or a medley of a few things. Our recently released Mèlange collection is just that - a mix, a mixture and a combination. A beautiful medley of variants of the yarn components creating a visual feast for the eyes.   As well, this collection is a Mèlange medley of the heart, the soul, and the body, to fit your curves beautifully. Everyone strives for happiness, so find the time to relax and tune into your inner guidance system of the mind, body and soul, and make this a summer to remember as it’s every women’s right to enjoy the summer.

A true Mélange à Trois.

 In fabric, a Melánge means a variation in colour. In our collection it is a mixture of the yarns of nylon, polyester and elastane. The three toned nature of the fabric construction offers an illusion of texture making it extra flattering on the body.   

The Benefits of a Mèlange Texture

An interesting texture in a fabrication makes you want to reach out and touch it, as well as being visually pleasing, this is what our Melange fabrication makes you want to do.   

We always rave on about texture and the disguising body effects a good texture can give. Just like our Zig Zag collection (click through here to see our printed texture story Zig Zag), our Mèlange fabrication has all the pleasing body slimming effects that a textured fabric can give without adding the extra bulk of a normal texture.   

 Our flat surface Mèlange fabrication creates the texture visually through the use of 3 types of yarns. Creating no added bulk but providing the wearer with the disguising and slimming effects that only a texture can offer.    

Try our Mèlange texture and see the difference yourself. Our Mèlange styles that will also become YOUR obsession.

Our blinging beautiful Botticelli styles 

Our blingy beautiful Botticelli one piece style has all the same benefits of our normal Botticelli shapes.    

This swimwear shape is a multifit cup, fitting best a C cup, D cup and DD cup. There are no underwires in this style, however the bust support comes from soft moulded cups sewn into a powermesh shelf bra which is supported by strong thick under bust elastic. Thick wide adjustable straps for extra support and comfort. Full body powermesh support with tummy control benefits. A loop through front detail design that creates a flattering shaped neckline. and enhances the wearers bust line. 

 Plus we also offer our Botticelli tankini style. Our Artesands curve fit and plus size tankini styles look like you are wearing a one piece but have all the benefits of a 2 piece swimsuit. Our tankini tops when paired back with one our matching swim bottoms will look like you are wearing a one piece. Perfect if your body is like most of the population and you are a different size top to bottom. 

Buying a tankini will provide the best fit for your body. A tankini covers your tummy whilst still being a 2 piece and so has all those great 2 piece swimsuit benefits – such as being able to get in and out of the swimsuit easier, especially when it’s wet and super easy to go to the toilet - woohoo!   

 There are so many practical benefits of wearing a tankini and we highly recommend tankini’s when our curvy girl’s are different sizes on their top to their bottoms.

Our best-selling Botticelli brief A really flattering brief for a true, curve fitting style, with side panels and soft ruching features. Pair back your tankini top and bikini top perfectly with our plus size swim pants or create a mix and match look with our Black Hues curve fit swim pants. 

Introducing our latest new shape 

 Fuseli  - a flattering zip front one piece

Fuseli is our new multifit zip front shape - fashionable and functional. It has a traditional sporty vibe with an added sex appeal, try and look away from this style. Fuseli features a thick comfortable strap and rounded back shape, its internal features include full body powermesh with removable multifit cups, body contouring panels, and a stand out gold feature zip all whilst offering wire-free comfort.   

The locking zipper front allows for easy pull on and do up, without having to reach behind your back and do up a clip. This style is sexy and flattering yet practical – the easiest of all one piece swimsuits to put on. The functionality of a zip front one piece makes the style so much easier to get on and off, especially if you are trying to take off a wet one piece after the beach (we have all been there).    

In contrast to our blinged up Botticelli and Fuseli styles is our, all the bells and whistles, full support style Raphael.  

Need a swimsuit with full bust support?

We love the support that our Raphael styles give.   

 Raphael has the most internal structure of all our styles. To get the full effect of our Raphael one piece you need to turn the garment inside out. When you do this, you will see all the bust support and internal fit structure. Our Raphael style has a floating full support underwire shelf bra with removable soft cups. Raphael is made to support and fit an E cup and an F cup. You will also see Raphael has an internal bra clasp, so the wearer can put Raphael on like a bra first and pull up the shoulder straps. The bra clasp has the 3 hook and eye settings, so can tighten the fit as needed. 

The internals of Raphael will also show the full body powermesh, you can read all about the benefits of powermesh in our blog, The power of powermesh. The Raphael style can also be a mastectomy option, the soft removable cup can be removed and replaced by prosthetics. The pink size label in our swimsuits represent this. The externals of the Raphael garment are just as involved, with front panel ruching, side panel ruching and a high front neckline for modest coverage. Our Raphael also has a full bottom and lower leg line, which is great coverage for a good curvy booty.    

 Another beneficial feature of the Raphael is our strap clip technology. We have wide adjustable straps on our Raphael styles that will not dig in, with strap clips that can be undone and clipped back together crossed over. This cross-back strap ability is for the extra support required for a full heavy bust. To learn more about our Raphael shape, read our blog, have you met Raphael?.
